Recently watched a few Bob Greenyer videos from the Martin Fleischman Memorial Project channel on youtube. The two O Day videos: Another Dimension New Dawn Od An Old Age And the MH370 Video: Application Of Fractal Toroidal Moment His theory of what the pyramids were is very intriguing to me and it links back to the masons and the ancient knowledge they strive to preserve through their symbolism. Coming from a non science background I don't understand half of it, but there are a few things that jumped out at me. For one Bob mentioned a research paper by Kenneth Shoulders about permitivity transitions. And at the very beginning there is this sentence: "A condensed matter dissolution technique will be shown that is capable of cold dissociation of refractory material into a low viscosity fluid." Could this have been the technology used by the ancients to turn Granite into soft Play-Doh to build their megalithic, polygonal walls?

Due to us moving country to Indonesia I will not have time to focus on Patreon so I'm closing it down until the move is complete and we've settled in there.
Quality of life is having the freedom to make choices that are not fear-based... freedom to choose is the ultimate luxury. That's another quote I want to keep a quick record of here. Not sure whom it's from. Came across it on a youtube video and it wasn't attributed to anyone.
This afterschool video struck a chord with me today. So I just want to keep a record of it here. "Hell is the place where the person you ARE meets the person you could have been."
For reasons unknown I am experiencing an overwhelming desire today to start a company called Space Eggs...
Note to self. Company Of One by Paul Jarvis has been a true treasure trove of good advice for me in my current situation. It was a huge relieve to read that I'm not the only one walking this path. It also really takes the pressure off of having to conform to common practices in business. It's jam packed with good information and mind opening thoughts so I'll need to give it a second and maybe even a third listen. For now I just want to note down one thing that stuck out to me today and that I have been thinking about a lot after hearing it. Passion follows mastery... and not the other way around At least in most cases... In other words... the advice to " follow your passion" and the search for it can leave one confused, lost and unhappy. This sounds depressing but really it is not. Because it takes the pressure off of having to find "a passion" and instead tells you to just get good at something instead. I find this makes things much simpler. Could one go one step further and say mastery follows purpose? As in having a clear goal? Something that one wants to achieve can give one purpose that then leads to the mastery of the skill needed to achieve that goal. And now we've come full circle. Back to the advice that lifestyle gurus commonly give: "You need to have a goal!" ... But I like the mastery angle. That was something I had sort of known but not consciously realized before until it was put in words.
After finding out that CO2 is playing a much less significant role in global warming than is currently propagated... I came across this today. Turns out methane is an 80 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 and it's generated in large quantities by landfills, the oil and gas industry and animal agriculture. Landfills and oil & gas industry problems can be solved by hooking up bitcoin miners and turn waste energy into a useful store of value no matter how remote they are.
It's been a while since the last update... but this warrants an entry. The complete starship stack has finally lifted off the ground for the first time. It was a truly epic sight to behold. The forces involved in this launch are extreme. Makes me wonder how rapidly reusable this truly will be with so much destructive energy being unleashed with each launch. I wonder if Malcom Bendall with the Strike Foundation have a better solution with their implosion/ fusion tech. I still can't tell wether or not all of that stuff is legit... problem is I just don't know enough to be able to tell if what Bendall is talking about is revolutionary new (old) tech or if he is psychotic.
Played around with Midjourney v4 a little today. It might come in handy for some concept work. It's definitely got the Artstation style down.
Planned to play around with stable diffusion a little this weekend to get a hands on understanding of what's possible in terms of character design... but the installation process put me off. Went for en easy option for mac: "Diffusion Bee" but it does not seem to be able to load custom models. Always throws an error message and it has a super limited prompt text size. Looking at discord there seem to be some hacky ways to get around it but thats not something I feel like spending time on right now. Will likely need to go through the cumbersome installation process for the web ui to yield usable results and train a model... or try midjourney.
A new study has been published detailing a new approach to utilize epigenetics to extend the lifespan in aged mice significantly and rewind the aging clock. Here is a video summary. If this is the real deal it is a huge step towards validating the information theory of aging and towards reaching longevity escape velocity.
Just got off a Zoom call with Dr. Aubrey De Grey... or rather... I happened to be on a call with him on it... Was a fairly small group of people but Interesting discussion none the less. Reminded me that I have to get involved and be active in the field... got to think of a way to contribute more. After all, once aging is solved, I've got time for all the other things. It's the No.1 bottleneck.
So according to some studies from last century it's been known for a long time that with increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, its impact on the climate diminish exponentially. In other words... going back to pre-industrial levels of CO2 in the atmosphere will only have a minimal impact on global warming. Also... if CO2 concentration falls below a certain threshold, plants stop growing which basically means the end for life on earth. Makes sense since The C in CO2 is what plants use to turn light into matter. According to geological studies CO2 concentration in the distant past has been a lot higher than it is now. To the tune of thousands of parts per million... and evidently there was no runaway climate effect since life flourished during those periods...
Finally got to playing around with chatGPT today. Gotta say it's impressive the way it talks, formulates answers and the way it is possible to ask it followup questions n have what feels like a conversation. Ran into limitations pretty quickly though and one can clearly feel the biases and limitations in the data set it was trained on when talking to it about "controversial" subjects or "fringe" scientific concepts. It's not thinking for itself and has the same talking points as left leaning mainstream media platforms. Still have only seen a very small part of what it can do really so will keep coming back to it. Surely it's going to be very a useful tool in a lot of situations... I'm just not exactly sure what they are for me just yet.
Great summary of breakthrough tech developments in 2022 by Cathie Wood from Arc Invest. The market sentiment and fundamentals have not been this disconnected in 40 years.
Listened to an interview during work today with Emad Mostaque, the CEO and Co-Founder of Stability AI. Have a feeling this is another one of those things that I will regret not jumping onto... really SHOULD look more into it. Like he said... Drop everything and get into this now!
Just want to make a note of a website here that has great animation reference data for all the Smash Bros characters so I can find it again. It's called ultimateframedata.
This is an after thought on the hollow earth random shower thought of 2020. In 1969, Nasa launched its second manned mission to the moon: Apollo 12. One of the objectives of this mission was to learn more about what is below the surface. For that purpose the astronauts planted seismometers before their departure back to earth. The idea is that when a known mass impacts the moon, the resulting seismic data can be measured and analyzed to draw conclusions about the moons composition. After their departure, the Apollo 12 astronauts intentionally sent their ascent stage module hurtling back into the moon. It impacted the surface and the resulting data was a bit of a surprise. The moon "rang like a bell" for nearly an hour. Which is not expected of a solid body. One of the resulting theories is that the moon might be "hollow"... if the moon might be hollow... what other heavenly bodies might be hollow? According to the electric universe theory, only a single force is necessary to explain both magnetism and gravity. Where the nucleus in an atom is slightly shifted towards the center of an object, creating a dipole field. Since the electric force is so strong, this distortion would only need to be minute to create a weak force like that of gravity. As a result in larger bodies of matter we get spherical arrangements with one pole facing out and one facing inwards... and as we know... like poles repel... Asteroid Bennu was the target of the Osiris Rex mission in 2020. The spacecraft touched down on its surface and there were many strange discoveries that lead scientists to believe that it is likely hollow. Another source. Where ever I look, a common theme seems to be that we tend to be wrong about things... and the one thing required to make progress in any given field is an open mind and the willingness to unlearn a lot of what we thought we knew to be true... which seems to be rare amongst experts (who are the disseminators and gate keepers of information and "knowledge"). Wal Thornhill introduced a new paradigm. A Theory of Everything: The Electric Universe. It correctly predicts and explains discoveries in the space age that baffle astronomers adhering to the gravitational model of the universe. For example, Thornhill specifically predicted the unexpected results of the Deep Impact mission to comet Tempel 1 in October 2001, almost four years before the event. He was alone in successfully predicting what would be seen beneath the clouds of Saturn’s moon Titan... etc.
As William of Ockham said: “With all things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the right one.” Out of the theories we currently have the Electric Universe seems to be closest to the truth of reality. Questions I want to understand the answer to now are:
Finally made a commitment to go through the sacred geometry course by Randall Carlson in the hope that I can integrate some of the insights learned into my 3d modeling work. I expect it will also provide me with another lens through which to look at the nature of reality. On another note... just want to screenshot some unreal vs unity data here for later reference.
Just found the Strike Foundation website! Holy cow there is so much I want to know and learn and read up on! Maybe I should buy a little Mazda stock while it's down... but then again once this tech is out there I'm guessing it won't take Tesla long to find a way to appropriate if for their needs as well. They're a technology company after all.
Since I've been a little absent from the blog over the past year + ... I've neglected to mention a lot of things that happened. One of which is a little 5 minute game that I worked on with a friend. Cleo's Gold. It's still available to play on Kongregate and Itch.
Apparently throughout the past 600 million years CO2 levels have hardly ever been lower than they are today. At the same time there seems to be no direct correlation between global temperatures and CO2 levels... Also interesting... global temperatures used to be up to 10 degrees higher than they are now.

Just came across some supposed photos from an expedition to Antarctica in 1912... I've not taken the time to look into it yet just want to make a note of it here so I don't forget. If these are real it would further support the existence of an advanced, ancient, global civilization whose roots go back deep into a forgotten period of pre history. There seem to exist more photos from a later expedition by Admiral Byrd from 1930-1950. These could be from Egypt or Puma Punku if it wasn't for the snow... Have to make a note of a rumble video here that contains a lot of things I want to look into. All this gives off funny vibes though. So it's not a priority right now. And what the heck is the ancient Quatria Zivilization? I have a feeling this is quickly leading down the wrong path to flat earth fairytale land...
Was using the UXD_ prefix naming convention for static objects with great success so far. Unreal automatically recognizes the designated meshes as collision on import and the world is at peace. Then I tried importing an animated object... and that was like opening a can of worms that was inside a can of worms that was inside a can of worms which was at the bottom of a barrel of worms... I still don't really have a great solution. Just exporting animated objects without collision for now.
