The study of 1,300 children by Michigan and Montreal universities found negative effects on older children rose with every hour of toddler TV.
Performance at school was worse, while consumption of junk foods was higher. UK experts said parents could allow young children to watch “some” high quality TV. The study, part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development Main Exposure, asked parents how much TV their children watched at 29 months (two years and five months) and 53 months (four years and five months).
?Our findings make a compelling public health argument against excessive TV viewing in early childhood?

Catherine, have you read the book “The Real Lincoln” by Thomas J DiLorenzo? It is a fascinating take on Lincoln and the politics surrounding the Civil War. The author speaks a lot about the Whig Party platform and Lincoln’s ties to it before he became a Republican. It outlines Lincoln’s support of Henry Clay’s “American System” which was really mercantilism – protectionism, a privately-owned national bank, and centralized political power that reduced state sovereignty. The book contradicts many things I learned in school about the Civil War. If you are interested, I thought it would be an interesting book review for Solari. There are relevant themes from 1860 to today and you can see the tentacles of Mr. Global trying to exert power even back then.
Good to know. Yes, the Union represented the centralizers. At Gettysburg, Lincoln spoke last and for a short time. The lead speaker was from Harvard who spoke for an hour. The Harvard Corporation no doubt came out on top.
1) “AI” – which in this context I assume we’re referring to neural networks and LLMs – is not fast. It’s incredibly slow compared to any other computational method we have. You can’t say on the one hand “we need huge data centers and intensive energy consumption” and at the same time say “this is fast”. Which is it?
2) For this reason AI has very low relevance for encryption or security (other than as a research and suggestion tool for a human). The strength of most encryption methods relies upon making a brute force method computationally infeasible. If you combine a computationally difficult algorithm with a slow, inefficient AI, you get exponential consumption of resources that will never arrive at a solution. On top of that these models just aren’t suitable for purpose for breaking encryption… they’re not capable of that.
What they are capable of – as demonstrated by new hardware rollouts – is being an embedded snitch on your device that’s listening to and watching everything you do, classifying it, and reporting back suspicious behavior. Encryption doesn’t very much matter if you’ve given up sovereignty on the home front.
3) What is it good for? I don’t know. I’ve tried to use it in a marketing context. It writes copy so uninspired and bland that its main value is that I get annoyed enough to rewrite it entirely. I’ve used it in a programming context and it doesn’t understand the different versions of the libraries I’m using, so it will hallucinate some combination which unfortunately doesn’t compile.
These qualities aren’t accidents, they are consequences of its design:
I find it most analogous to hiring an employee who habitually plagiarizes everything, but has no understanding of the words they are speaking. The largest impact of this technology that I foresee is that catastrophic mistakes are going to start multiplying, because of people’s mistaken trust in this technology. I think it’s greatest impact will be as a weapon used to waste time and sabotage the processes of adversaries. But I don’t think the people deploying it will be able to escape the impact of this, because their own people will adopt the technologies equally readily.
Boeing is a great case study for what happens when honesty falls apart within an organization. Or read Richard Feynman’s audit of the Challenger space shuttle explosion.
Brandon:
Very much appreciate the insights. Your explanation of the energy use makes a lot of sense. We have tried using AI for multiple purposes – I would categorize them as help brainstorming. It is useful but not as useful as the human team.

Hi Catherine,
In this wrap-up you mentioned to read Alexander Morrow regarding fiat currencies being successful if governed properly. I’ve tried to do a search for any books, and I haven’t found any that seem to be by him on this topic. Would you please provide the title you are referring to and/or articles?
Thanks.

I believe Catherine was referring to Alexander Del Mar:
A History of Money in Ancient Countries From the Earliest Times to the Present by Alexander Del Mar
The use of scalar or longitudinal (interferometric) waves is quite real. One can emulate the effects of chemical compounds (psilocin, DMT or other psychedelics) using magnetic fields. This was pioneered by Jacque Bienvieniste at INSERM (Thomas Y, Schiff M, Belkadi L, Jurgens P, Kahhak L, Benveniste J. Activation of human neutrophils by electronically transmitted phorbol-myristate acetate. Med Hypotheses. 2000 Jan;54(1):33-9. doi: 10.1054/mehy.1999.0891. PMID: 10790721.) and clearly demonstrated the ability to transmit the effects of physical molecules to live cells.
The application of MHz and GHz carrier waves to hit a target with biologically active magnetic fields to induce altered states (depressants and/or stimulants) or to treat cancers (Mukthavaram R, Jiang P, Pastorino S, Nomura N, Lin F, Kesari S. Evaluation of the EMulate Therapeutics Voyager’s ultra-low radiofrequency energy in murine model of glioblastoma. Bioelectron Med. 2024 Apr 10;10(1):10. doi: 10.1186/s42234-024-00143-8. PMID: 38594769; PMCID: PMC11005219.) or alter genetic expression (Precision knockdown of EGFR gene expression using radio frequency electromagnetic energy, I. V. Ulasov, H. Foster, M. Butters, J. G. Yoon, T. Ozawa, T. Nicolaides, et al., J Neurooncol 2017 Vol. 133 Issue 2 Pages 257-264, Accession Number: 28434113 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-017-2440-x, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28434113) puts us in a world where we need to address the issue of governance with greater urgency.
The fact that WiFi and 6G can use these systems to target each of us at an almost genetic level, should be a much bigger wake up call.
On a much lighter an hopeful note…ever since Tennessee passed the chemtrail ban, I have yet to see any chemtrails over my state in Idaho. Has anyone observed a lack of spraying? If the bill passed in TN is a harbinger of things to come, the local approach is clearly the right approach.
At the very beginning of the “pandemic” before anything was happening in Missouri, our state health department issued a rule suspending requirements for hospitals to report hospital acquired infections. I’ve been meaning to Sunshine them on that and would bet it originated with some federal agency.
Part of the discussion regarding AI and Bitcoin (in this 2ndQWU2024) centers on the availability of energy to push the electrons required to do the computations. Both CAF and JPF mention the need to acquire resources, like energy, to run these technologies and how Mr. Global//loney seems hell-bent to secure these resources to do the job (including water). Yet, we talk and speculate on the reality of advanced energy sources that would make the need for oil and gas to run these systems obsolete. This appears as a disconnect for me.
If these energy sources are real (and I do believe that they are), this may give us some insight into the current power structure:
The people that are managing the world CANNOT allow these technologies out…for whatever reason. If the idea is to reduce population to allow the deployment of these technologies for control, the difference between 0.5 billion and 12 billion is not that great. Scaling is possible – only if you have sufficient competent people to scale the control grid. The only problem is that is you wipe out a population haphazardly, you will take out most of your competent people waaay faster than those that can’t handle the job.
To me, this strongly suggests that human consciousness is one of the key gating factors that needs to be controlled.
Excellent comments and insights. I am convinced they are using some form of breakaway energy to run some or all of the underground bases.
Thank you Xavier!
On topic of AI learning and its limits. Dr Ferrell suggest you read more of Steiner, man and machine are going to merge. As that happens…….maybe already happening, it is not just limited to the programmer. As Steiner writes there is no stopping this.
