Lots of stuff I dont understand


We saw 60 Minutes, a usual event for a Sunday night. .  I always learn something I did not know about from viewing this program.  This occasion was no different.  They did a segment on crypto currency. Hate to say it but I was completely 
baffled and still don't understand the principal of these monetary units.  What is it, part of reality or some fantasy wrapped in an enigma?  Is somebody getting rich? is it real money?  Can I buy milk and bread with it? There are many unanswered questions for me.  Then there was a segment on using AI in education with sudden participants.  I have an open mind as to its validity.  The students seem to use it as a tool to seek their answers and as a source for information.  Again, another thing that it is past my meager imagination.  Not saying it was better before, only that I cannot comprehend the concept. 

With the incoming administration, all sins are forgiven without going to confession.  All that information that bombarded our brains for the last few months is erased like by the Ministry of Truth in 1984, the George Orwell novel of the forties.  It's as if it never happened. Not saying all is forgiven, really forgotten.  Oh well, this is the world we live in now, as invented by us. 

Going for brunch with friend Mike later this morning followed by a trip to Planet Fitness and a visit to Trader Joes. 

thats it

all for now
