:^( So far I have not read even Part 1... Until a couple of weeks ago my time has been predominantly taken up by this solar project... many problems to be ironed out. The system has been producing power for about two weeks now... not really using it except for a night light over the solar shed door and the overhead light inside. I hope this month to begin running the power lines into the house with a separate breaker panel for indoor emergency use... also need to get power to the well for emergency water supply.
But the time consuming problems are now - hopefully - past and I will have more time for the future of my country. 🙄
Seems like a good response to your post 1666:

What are the conditions in any society that will cause a people to willingly sacrifice their freedoms? Mattias Desmet has studied and lectured extensively on this phenomenon. He is a professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University has and holds a masters degree in statistics. After noticing some anomalies in the statistical analyses conducted during the pandemic, he became concerned by the consensus narrative. He joined me today to discuss his expertise in a phenomenon called ‘mass formation’, a type of collective hypnosis essential for the rise of totalitarian regimes. He provides the step by step formula for this collective psychosis to take hold and how this relates to our current situation. He cautions against the dangers of our current societal landscape and offers solutions both individually and collectively to prevent the willing sacrifice of our freedoms.

At least you didn’t have to make a moon, sun and planets! (Although you might have done a decent job if you had to.)
Devolution is the best explanation of what Trump planned and is doing anywhere in the known universe. Long reads but well worth the time spent.
#1666 Starting an install tomorrow on a 12KW system completely off grid, back up generator. Should be fun.
Worked on Wind turbine and tracking array when I worked for a living but never did the install.
