30 years ago 168 people died in Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995, due to an act of domestic terrorism.
19 were children in a daycare.

Perhaps in the future, nothing like that will ever happen again.

But I think that those in power are worried about it happening again, and again, and again, and thus we have a hardening of America.

Here's reference to the original content...

"PAXCON [PX-3350], developed by LINE-X is an advanced spray applied polymer coating formulated to mitigate the effects of a bomb blast."

It would be nice to live in a world where such technology is just envisioned for tornado and hurricane defense.
It is perhaps an idealists dream to envision a world where every nation is not perpetually preparing for war against one another, and their own inhabitants.

I had been sincerely hoping that Pope Francis would live until the end of this Jubilee year.

At the start of Covid I realized one of China's most valuable resource were its internment camps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_internment_camps), and the potential use of said camps for psychological research...
The ability to understand the social impact of disease introduction within social cohorts, exactly how it impacts the relationship structures of individuals and institutions... resource sharing, resource grabs, power shifts, cooperation versus competition, et cetera.

To know ahead of time how Covid (and similar diseases) will affect the world, and to develop AI based modeling abilities based on human research. Ditto for resource scarcity. Ditto for knowledge surplus / scarcity / disparity. Et ecetra. Social-psychological experiments, real time, at scale, that's the modern potential for internment camps that have full, modern monitoring.

I had been sincerely hoping that Pope Francis would live until the end of this Jubilee year.

RIP Oklahoma victims, united we stand, divided we fall -- and that is globally scalable, and it crosses gender, race and culture.

I contemplate what seems to be the expired domain of an old LHBA member, and the characters that it caused to appear in my browser history.

I had been sincerely hoping that Pope Francis would live until the end of this Jubilee year. May the next Pope work quickly to help this world continue to heal. And may those who elect him consider the forces that push 'reactionary' behavior / choice paths.

"Volat Irreparabile Tempus," and yet there is hope.
"Volat Irreparabile Tempus," and yet there is always a plan/design (be it singular or plural is beyond my debate).
"Volat Irreparabile Tempus," because time never stops and we are bound to interpret it with our inadequate human feelings (which AI is merely a self-programed reflection).
