Online Summary of the Books of the Bible

    I've been trying to practice my faith for the past 40 plus years and yet I have failed to read the entirety of the Bible. I have trouble finishing books as I get easily sleepy when reading even the best and most exciting novels or piece of literature.   I've thought about getting audio books in Amazon to help with this or try to get more quality sleep with Chilisleep to see if I can stay awake longer but lately, I think I may have found a way to help me with finishing the Bible and it won't cost me a cent.   In Youtube, I've found this video summaries of each of book of the Bible in the Bible Project Channel.  I'm pretty sure that they aren't Catholic like myself but my plan is just get enough of an idea of each of the books, specially those in the Old Testament and then dig in on those that I will find most interesting first and work my way through it that way.  I have subscribed on Youtube channel's Bible Project and I am a fan of their work.  I reall

think of it, like really

If things like your male or female organs can be dismissed as easily by what one feels then it would be so much easier to dismiss attributes like age, height, weight, etc. Time will come when we would see biologically old and short people play in the NBA. Anyone can be a 7 foot 4, 21 year old player even if biologically they are only 5 foot 4 and 45 years old. Have a think about that?

How AI can be dangerous?

 Computer systems have always been limited to the quality of input that it receives.  In other words, it has always been garbage in, garbage out.  No matter how good the quality of the software and the hardware.  Feed it with garbage and it spews out garbage. Now this had me thinking about AI and the perceived dangers that the experts have voiced out over them.  Are the dangers partly due that most people that use them aren't that highly intellectual at all and that they'll feed them with more garbage data rather than useful ones.  AIs are trained to learn the data input to them but the sad truth is, there are more stupid people than sensible ones. I've recently tried chatGPT and I let it try to improve on a blog that I wrote before.  As expected, it resulted to a piece that is well structured and pleasing to read.  What concerned me was that the thought was made completely opposite to what I originally wanted to convey.  I am anti-woke and so was the content of my original

Everyone will miss the Guardians of the Galaxy

  When the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1 was being introduced into the MCU, I was skeptical about it and I have to be honest, one of its doubters as I have never heard of this group before.  I used to collect a lot of comic books growing up.  Psi Force was one of my faves before and yeah I didn't catch a glimpse of this team, not once.   So when the rising MCU decided to bring this group in to live action  I was intrigued and curious about how they will incorporate them into the MCU. The movie came, I watched and I surprisingly loved it.  It wasn't the best group of heroes and not necessarily the strongest bunch but they were a breath of fresh air and I kinda relate to them specially their broken, imperfect selves.  I can relate to Peter Quill's early loss of his mother and a distant, seemingly unloving paternal figure as well.  Also, like Star Lord, I listen to music to somehow take care of the pain. So when they said that it's all going to end with GOTG Vol 3, I knew
