[There's] war in Ukraine between Russia and Ukraine[, and] war in Israel between Israel and HAMAS/Hezbollah[.] America just recently bombed Iran, and Iran declared war against us. But the U.S. is not declaring an official war against Iran, we're just bombing them. The U.K. and E.U. are in no wars as of currently, but are suffering an Immigration Crisis and it's causing hostilities between European Natives and Islamic Immigrants. That I know of. And {...} Trump said Iran launched a ballistic missile to Ireland, and wanted the U.K. to give [us]control over it--which Ireland, I don't even think Trump knows, as there's Northern Ireland and Ireland, which one is independent and part of the E.U. and the other is part of the U.K.. {...}

China is threatening to invade Taiwan, which has the most advanced microprocessing chips in the world. And Trump is sabre rattling against NATO Allies over Greenland because Greenland has rare earth deposits, and Trump wants to move Taiwanese Computer Manufacturing to the U.S. to gain a hegemony on the market. But, it seems Trump mistakenly got Ireland confused with the Indian Ocean in this, as Iran didn't launch a ballistic missile to Ireland, but into the Indian Ocean.

That's what's happening right now.

AI isn't as good a teacher as a human being. It's just human beings have to be taught how to teach. Basically, a teacher listens to 30 people explain a concept, and condenses all of it into a simpler form, that is more concrete, so a student can understand it. Which we need people to do, because AI has a habit of hallucinating and drawing incorrect information from bad sources. I heard one AI try to say that Pushkin was black. Which was hilarious, but it drew that from a poorly researched website. It just can't curate information, or innovate it. It only does what its programming allows.

This was how I started writing a book.

1. I started writing a book. Lol. Wrote awkward sentences, with very bad spelling--was told I spelled like the Unabomber, which I didn't understand until recently--but I hacked away at it. Started in 2005 and continued until--that particular book which is my best--about 2020 when I did the final edits.
2. I took a Creative Writing Course and I took English 051. And I followed the Creative Writing Courses' directions. If he told me to do something, I did. That's important. You need to learn how to write in guidelines--except one time I broke one of his rules, and got one point deducted, which is when I really liked him, and found out he was a very honest grader.
3. I read classic literature. Really soaked in all their ideas.
4. I watched thousands of Edutainment videos and video essays.
5. I memorized about 40 Literary Devices.
6. I had a dictionary on my phone that gave me a word of the day, and always had a dictionary on hand, to read. So, I read the dictionary.
7. I wrote about 5,000 words a day, for 20 years. Still not selling, but have 24 books published on KDP.
8. I studied all the major philosophers, religions, economics theories, political theories and psychologists. Also Persian, Ancient Near East, Greek, Roman, American and British History, as well as Norse, Greek, Irish and Egyptian Mythologies.
9. I read the Romantic Poets, and learned how to craft deeper metaphors.
10. I was in love with the idea of love.

So, that's my journey. I say that, because 1 year sounds like a long time, but you could be going at it for a lot longer. I was just reading Van Halen's rise to fame, it took them about twenty years before they were on the Top Billboards. 

Also, make sure you're at peace with your writing. If you ever feel something makes you uncomfortable, don't hesitate to delete it. Before it becomes public knowledge, that's a good thing to delete writing that, maybe for some reason doesn't reflect who you are. But, once it's out there, it's going to be out there. So know that you could be a household name, you could be famous, you could be wealthy... remember those things when you're doing this, too.

We need a stand in for labor and work, as a credit to hold a place and keep records of debts. In ancient times this could be preserved foods, or gold and silver, or sand dollars. But now it's dollar bills. And this money is the product of a company called the Federal Reserve. And this reserve prints money as their product--like Coca-Cola makes Coke--and they sell it to the bank at interest, and the bank then lends money to their customers, at interest, and accumulates interest in Savings Accounts, which then pay for the money that the Federal Reserve lended. Also, this money--which is a place holder--pays debts to other countries for goods and services, and this debt is kept on record, as a debt owed to those other Countries or Private Entities, in the forms of money, which gets used to pay for goods and services. And when we pay taxes, a portion of our money gets collected, and gets used to pay a portion of that debt. And we can run a deficit or surplus, of taxes collected by the Federal, State and Local government. And a deficit means the government spends more than it collects in taxes. And a surplus means it spends more. And debt, is how much accumulated deficit is collected over many years, and a surplus removes that debt, and if you collect a surplus in excess of your debt, your government then runs a surplus, which nearly never happens in human history. Also, this money can be a stand in for debts owed to private entities, like Banks or debts for goods and services like what you buy at the grocery store. And when you owe more money than you make, like the government, that creates debts, which needs to be paid back to that entity, so they can also make a living too. Also, you use it to buy things. As, if you didn't do this, stores would run out of stuff to sell, and there'd be problems with rationing because everyone would take more than they produced, and would cause a decrease in the living standards of our country. Some people, their goods they sell are art and entertainment, and others it's information, and others it's labor whether intellectual or physical, others it's logistics, others its producing raw materials, others its assembling and making use of those raw materials. And that gets paid with money, which is a stand in for labor and work, as a credit to hold a place and keep records of debts. Because if you didn't have a stand in for labor or work, you'd work and never truly have compensation. It'd all have to be paid for immediately, which used to be called a Bartering System, which still happens in a Free Market, but money is the main mode of commerce. Also, stocks are a thing. I should point out, that stocks are publicly traded debts, that private people buy and sell, and they fluctuate with the company's value, and are like a loan to the company, where the buyer intends on growing his wealth with the company, and when the company is failing, they sell their debts for what a buyer is willing to pay for it, and the buyer buys the debts for what they're willing to pay for them, which I think is regulated by the Market. And some stocks pay a dividend, or a small portion out to their debtors, to encourage them to buy their stocks in large volumes.

I think, people aren't meant to do this kind of stuff. We're meant to grow things in soil, and build things, and dig, and hunt, and gather. Mostly, I think that's the major issue here. It's just unnatural. Which, with AI, we're going to actually have to be forced back into that kind of craft economy, where most work is the creation of objects, or gardening and farming. Economies will have to be local again, and not large corporations. Instead of Nike, you'll have a local cobbler, or instead of Abercrombie and Fitch, you'll have a local tailor. What's different, is that we have very advanced logistics, that can bring someone's product from California to Ethiopia if we wanted to in under a week, and that will only get faster. That's where the real money would come from, and whoever had the logistics or warehouses would be on top. Which, those would be automated. But most people need to feel a part of their company, and the Corporate mindset turned it into a cult, but generally, the local business should be more like a community: that's what people need.

It's weird, but I just don't believe Corporate America is what makes people happy. Just the commute alone, of driving 45 minutes or more a day, and then being regimented every second and not allowed to make autonomous decisions, or really have any ownership or onus over the products. That's kind of why this is happening.

You know a chapter a day, a poem a day, an essay a day, a short story a day, it does wonders. Most of them are about 5 pages, or 2,000 words or less. I think people are going to start consuming shorter works, like Short Stories and Personal Essays and Poetry. Because when I read, I can't really get through a whole lot, but I take it in chunks, you read 1 chapter or essay or poem or short story a day, that's 365 chapters, essays, poems, or short stories, and that's about 360,000 words a year. Which is about 5 books a year.

To give you another example, I will read a chapter from a book, and might read that book over 10 years. My memory gets refreshed as I pick it up again, and I can start from that basis. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, or The Prince and the Pauper--two of my favorites now--have been read by me for about 10 years now. Brother's Karamazov, also. Sometimes, like the Wizard of Oz, I just read the whole novel in a few days. Or Animal Farm I read in one sitting. Boethius, I read a chapter a day, and left the last chapter till now. I started him in December last year. Descartes, also, the Discourse on the Method, have been reading a little bit here and there. I might read a story from Egyptian Mythology, or read over Ptahhotep again; might read a dozen chapters of the Bible--that I fly through because I'm very familiar with it. Might read a poem, and do a deep analysis of it.

Another thing, I don't particularly like reading. I just read for wisdom. It's not my favorite activity. I'd rather listen to a video essay for 20 minutes, and break it into two segments, than read a novel. Unless I go into the flow.
