3. "It's a big club...and you ain't in it!" -Carlin

Aug 2025

I predict by Xmas people who aren't die hard cult will start to see the light, but I could be wrong. I'm discovering that more people than I imaged, are easily swayed by others, & hence the rise of influencers & how the number of followers gives some of them creds they didn't earn & don't deserve. And now, AI. Articles I've read say that AI will make us more average & less creative & we're seeing that already. Idiocracy is the comedy version of where we're headed. We're in a scary place, not just as a country but as a species.
