The Great Americuh Reopens



According to our beloved leader of the free world, "America wants to be open, and Americans want to be open”.
As of writing this post, The United States of America is now in Phase 1 of reopening from the quarantine lock down. The U.S. does not have enough equipment, funding or the required people to conduct mass testing yet the populace has found itself starting to reopen. As the White House website www.whitehouse.gov says, they came upon the three-phased approach after listening to public health experts.

Even though the guidelines make sense if one thinks about it, let's talk about what is happening and what should be happening. The guidelines proposed by the Trump Administration say for an individual:

- When in public, social distancing should be a thing at its maximum. Settings where there's more than 10 folks and precautionary measures are not in place, avoid them.

- Don't travel anywhere unless you absolutely need to.

- Whenever possible, keep working from home.

- Schools and youth activities? No.

- Bars? No.

- Gym.....under social distancing measures. Same for large venues like restaurants and cinema halls.

Now what is happening?
Supermarkets are filled up, fam. They are really crowded. Social distancing is a myth.
Rush hour is a thing again as traffic comes back to roads. Well, there goes pollution reduction. In fact, Interstate 78 actually had a tractor trailer fire.


Sigh. Well look at the semi-bright side of things; data scientists from CNN, report that infection rates going up will be a while away as it takes time for people to mingle. Yay?

A Reincarnation Theory ~ Part 2

Part 1 needs to be read to understand Part 2. You can find Part 1 here: https://internautofgenz.blogspot.com/2020/05/a-reincarnation-theory.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imagine a world with 3 people. A, B, and C. If A is true souled, then B and C are simulated. A dies, goes to B. Then C and A are simulated. B dies goes to C. A and B are simulated. C dies, hits up A. A suicides. Time block ends. New time block, B is a true soul and on and on and on until that true soul has inhabited all A, B, and C. For better understanding: A dead. B dead C dead A suicides -----new time block----- You have to remember, this ties into fate and destiny. I use suicide to talk about self-termination. It could happen because of stress, crime, whatever, long as it happens. Introducing a new concept; One Timestream is defined as: ================== -----Time block 1----- A dead. B dead C dead A suicides -----Time block 2----- B dead. C dead A dead B su...

Hello Internet

What’s up?  And the internet replied, “ Quarantine “. On January 11, 2020, China announced to the world the first death from the COVID-19 virus. Since then, a lot has happened. Jobs vanished, economies were brought to their knees, currencies dropped and beloved stars were lost to history. Hundreds died and thousands were infected. Many businesses went out of order. Yet, the human race trudged on. Almost every country on the planet locked its borders down. Issued out a curfew and enforced it with aggressive passion. The largest pandemic of the 21st century had impacted thousands of lives in every country, in every continent. People were made to stay in their homes. A single word gained more popularity than Einstein ever had. That word:  Quarantine . Musicians and artists took to the internet to reach their fans and showcase their art. Charities shot up in support of the unfortunate victims to the corona-virus. Social Media had never seen such large usage rates before....

Predicting human behavior

I was reading this book on the extent of the seemingly insignificant nonverbal behaviors influencing the perception of others and I thought it was interesting. I think that subconsciously, people pick up certain behavioral cues, without even knowing about people. This would lead to creating preconceived notions and "I don't know why, but I don't like him/her." Usually it's something small. For example, when you first meet a person and you don't see them smile, you may not think a big deal of it, but later on, the subconscious will hold on to it and you may eventually find yourself thinking of sadness or depression the next time you think of this person. It is said that we cannot be certain of the way that humans behave. I agree in the sense that one may not be able to completely determine the behavior of another in a social setting, but I was wondering if, by being more aware of body language and other nonverbal cues, could we control the cues that we subcon...
