his past. I am from the line of Moses, Jesus, Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx,
Albert Einstein, Woody Allen, Bobby Fischer, Bob Dylan, Kafka, Herzl,

When It Comes To 2022, You Should Definitely Prepare For
The Worst
If you have a bad feeling about 2022, you are not alone. As we
approach the new year, it seems like things are going wrong all
around us. We are facing the most epic supply chain crisis in our
history, inflation is out of control, vaccine mandates are killing
careers and forcing people out of jobs all over the country, and

entire lifetime. (by Michael Snyder)
AR Pioneer Warns That Metaverse Could Make “Reality Disappear”
“I am concerned about the legitimate uses of AR by the powerful
