Notes on Story Ideas
"There is no such thing as a new idea. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations."
~ Mark Twain
“We read to meet peculiar people and we read to be educated, we read because we are curious and we want to be educated to people and things.”
~ Rad Bradbury

Take the TJL/G Chi and divide subject matter up by topic.
Integrate the religion and addiction notes and make a parable on each.
Create parables/allegories/metaphors, fictional short stories illustrating both sides or (more) of each topic as unbiased as possible.
When writing a story act out the theme instead of saying it, people get defensive and don't like to be told what to do so show them, take a quote for a euphemism or a truism and ride it into a story showing it instead of actually writing, demonstrate instead to convince people or to get your message across.
Research arguments to and for…even stuff as basic as good and evil…there should always be an opposing point of view and character to represent it. This may well be the same character through their actions or via internal conflict and/or dialogue.
Sometimes it’s all a matter of definition….people may be saying the same thing!
The characters should be relatable, draw empathy, even when “wrong”(another topic is there a wrong and right or is it relative?).
Lots of dialogue, very little exposition should be required.
Don’t worry about the length of each chapter.
Same recurring themes occur throughout history…the myths of Campbell, religious parables.

Conduct debates on sensitive major issues (racism, abortion, religion, etc.) utilizing intercharacter dialogue. Explore uncommon points of view.

Intro to “commonplace book”
I may lack the creative faculty which can work up the teachings of heart-sorrow and world experience into attractive forms of fiction or art
This is not a story or textbook, just unconnected fragments, a memorandum of random thoughts which came across me
spontaneous utterances of thought out of an earnest mind
unstudied expressions of a free discursive mind
A book that may seem so supremely egotistical and subjective is really not meant to be presumptuous
It may open up sources of reflection, excite to arguments, agreement, or disagreement
It’s not my fault if the readers draw conclusions that don’t intend.

Premise 1:
Stim implants are hacked and as chaos ensues the moral dilemma of AI is explored.
The implants which can used in standalone mode (provide neurotransmitter releases for euphoria or other brain centers) or connected to super intelligence in the cloud providing access to the knowledge of the world instantly.
These are very rare and very very expensive.
The speed/bandwidth determine how quickly they can access the information. So, for example with a 4G connection the person seems like a genius, 2 G very smart but with a lag. So, real time info doesn’t work. There may be a few second delay. Have fun with this. The answer to things “pops” into his head after the specific portion of that conversation may be over with. If the connection is lost, he loses access to all info except the knowledge he has programmed locally. So, a specific area of expertise can always be available. This can be changed with new downloads. Have one situation where the bill isn’t paid, the provider cuts him off and he becomes stupid when he most needs his access. Also, have fun with roaming, causing issues when real time access is required for the plot situation. Have times when he needs to go to a specific area of a building or even a room to overcome wireless interference when he needs real time access to knowledge. This knowledge of course can be maps and life satellite feeds. How is the video and text portrayed to his mind? Is an external display required of can this be viewed inside the brain?
There are stim stations as well as the implants. The stations are for temp connections.
There is a simile between the implants and drug abuse. When set to euphoria, the high is so intense it is ‘better’ than heroin. This cause some to want more and more at any cost. Some never even want to try it for similar reasons that some don’t do drugs. Some know how to moderate and use the stims wisely as a bridge and not a crutch. Some who control the stims are like drug dealers. Using and abusing bribing etc… in return for access to the stims.
BSTIM: Brain STIMulator
STIM: STIMulator
God Box
BMI: Brain Machine Interface
Some like it so much they decide to permanently connect in euphoria mode, essentially committing suicide by pleasure. They will stay connected until their bodily systems fail?
The stims as well as the software are required to function. This can be run from the cloud or locally if the program/database required is small enough. The best software gurus are fabulously wealthy.
The implant networks are penetrated, and the fun begins. Certain implants are reprogrammed so that even when they go off line (Other than physically removing the implants which can cause brain damage if not done correctly, the vics need to disconnect from the network to regain control of themselves. By traveling to remote, geographic locations or using faraday cages, they can disconnect.) things can happen. For example, a program is written that induces extreme pain, sadness, or some other emotion until it reconnects to the “net”. So, when the vic tries to disconnect it is so unbearable he must reconnect. How is this dilemma resolved?
The Stims don’t recreate memories or even memories of the emotion (i.e. pain) per se, they recreate the exact feeling of the emotion. So, for example if the saved emotion playback loop (EPL) was pain such as a broken right ankle, when the loop is engaged via the BMI the user would experience extreme pain in the right ankle, if the EPL was sadness such as a child dying, that extreme sadness would be re-induced when the BMI is engaged, if the EPL was an orgasm, same thing…. this is an example to explore of how much continuous stimulation can one have? What is the effect of an overdoes/overstim? Can it cause mental illness, suicide, once the BMI is disengaged does the user go back to “normal” with no physical or emotional trauma? Is it more like a drug overdose? Does the user build tolerance (yes!) and addiction (yes)…even addiction to pain and sadness?
Utilize theta waves transmitted with sound waves to an implant for the brain machine transfer
How are the units powered?
Brain uses 12 watts of power
Where is the line, that thin ever-changing line between light gray and dark gray of the moral code which is different for each person?
What is the true nature of happiness? Once defined can it be induced and maintained at will? Once this ability is achieved it is determined that it is not necessarily a good thing to have the capability to alter the natural energy of the life force. Things can happen, externally and internally.
If the mind believes that what is feeling is real, then is that true reality for that mind? Then does stimming actually alter reality?
Brain stimulation machines allow you to experience any feeling and/or emotion. Some get addicted to some of these just like drugs.
Some get addicted to “stimming” just like real drugs although it is a mental addiction not physical.
How is it administered-
is there a physical connection to the body or head, a port to ‘jack’ in to?
Is there a onetime surgery required to insert a port which connects to the machine that targets the appropriate brain area? Is this machine portable?

Prot heists loads from 18 wheelers
Most everything is shipped last mile by truck. The security is lax if non-existent.
Researches content, suppliers, routes and cherry picks the targets based on his client requirements
Systems are hacked, tracks covered and backdoors are implanted on the majority of their dispatch servers so they know the content of the loads, driver info and schedules including GPS coordinates.
They immediately offload the trailer, ditch the truck and inspect/scan the merchandise for tracking devices.
I guess the mob in NYC has been doing this for years sometimes in complicity with the truck drivers/distributors/suppliers.
Same concept. The key is to always have a buyer before the load is heisted and a secure and expedient transfer executed. Sometimes the order is one but there are multiples’ in the load. They only take one, only take what is ordered, without deviation. Any of his crew which deviate do not do it again.
Key is maintaining anonymity while customers being able conduct bid beds with him. Maybe he selects the load first then contacts potential buyers to decrease the possibility of a sting or setup. If nobody else knows about the heist in advance, then his strict security protocols can be maintained.
He then decides to take the same concept to armored transport. This is where things get interesting. One of his heist jobs reveals a major surprise when the content is found to not be what was expected. Now the 'fun' starts... He has to decide whether to return it, dispose of it, transfer it to another nefarious entity (gov or law enforcement, or sell it.
Keep the content of the load a mystery for a while
He involves his trusted high school buddy and lifelong friend in the story line.... Give this guy some interesting skills, traits, hobbies and idiosyncrasies
Build up the prot from a small-time heist guy, to trucks, to armored transport to the big heist
He is nonviolent until his lines are crossed
Locations...somewhere you know
This is just one-story line in the plot which who'll intersect with a couple further down the line
Stolen shipment involves a foreign government and/or government organization?
Another prot (maybe the main prot?) is a lowly but very sharp insurance investigator that has been investigating one of the prot' earlier truck heists and inadvertently (make this an interesting plot coincidence) gets on the trail of the heister. Make this a separate storyline thread.
These two antagonistic prints eventually form forces to team on resolving the 'big heist' story line. When that line is mostly resolved later in the
Organized crime also involved in the story lines?
Investigator
Heister
LEO
Mob guy
(Make one prot a female?)
Truck driver of the 'big heist' load...follow his/her character dev as well from the story beginning.... By necessity the driver ends up teaming with the heister and investigator in resolving the main story line. Does one of them betray the others?

It can be illegal, and still justified.
This is known as an affirmative defense. You don't dispute that you committed the act (the crime), but you claim it was necessary to prevent a greater evil. The prosecution/jury agrees, and you are not punished. Self-defense is another example of an affirmative defense.

Ancient Sumer
First agriculture, writing, weaving, division of labor, city/state system. Each city head a head priest associated with a specific god. What if each of these priests are ET’s and/or time travelers. They got stuck or were place here on earth and with their advanced knowledge were seen as priests and they used this to their advantage to control the people while at the same time teaching them and advancing their civilization. They invented the concept of religion as a method to keep control of the masses. Keep them smart enough to server but not too smart and keep the smart ones isolated. See the Tao Te Ching #3 for further proof and elaboration. Take this concept and run with it. Does this extend to now where descendants of these prots families continue to control the earth to this day. Each of the prots took a section of the world and one turned Chinese, one African, etc…?

Short story
Do your dirt privately or someone snitch.
Never, ever tell people your crimes if you want a chance in hell of getting away with it.
So, I never let anyone (not even my wife or best friend) know what I was doing until…
Cotton top gentlemen robber who broke his cardinal rule and got caught after record streak of non-violent robberies of small grocery stores throughout the country
No weapon but I strapped a hammer to my leg under my pants just below my knee in case I needed to break out of a locked door or something
Come up with a cool disguise(s)
Pulls in under $10K per job but they are relatively safe
There are a couple exciting close calls
How does he live on cash and what does he spend his money on? Travels living in hotels? Thinks of some good ways he can launder cash. He is an artist who fakes receipts for people buying his work for which he takes cash only for and is careful to file all “transactions” with the IRS. He follows the arts and crafts fair circuits robbing grocery stores along the way. Does he send cash to a college fund for his child he left behind? The detective following the story finally connects the pattern of robberies to arts and crafts fairs. Now he must investigate which artist (or person traveling with the artist) could be the suspect. As he is investigating the robberies, he uncovers some other nefarious activities. Does the robber’s daughter that he is putting through college meet the detective or maybe the detective’s son (without anyone knowing the connections) and begin a romantic relationship to complicate the plot? When the robber makes his mistake by telling someone, and the detective connects the dots, he also discovers that the girl he/his son’s romantic with is actually the robber’s daughter. She doesn’t know what he has been doing, she thinks he has been somehow selling his bad art. She discovers all his old art that had supposedly been sold which is enough evidence to put him away. She must decide whether to turn him in or not. The detective must also decide whether to turn him in or not. They both decide they must do the “right” thing and turn in the robber. He is one step ahead and disappears. The girl marries the detective/d’s son. The robber forgives his daughter and continues to send her cash while he is on the run robbing grocery stores with awesome disguises. He has interesting adventures along the road.
It's exciting at first, and it's even addicting. But like any addiction, you always want more until you realize that more is never enough, and you're left feeling quit empty inside.

Yea, people will attempt to get whatever they can out of you in jail but generally speaking and common place in most inmate dorms and pods there is never truly a rent or tax. That's a day one new fish attack to see who's got what it takes or who doesn't. If you ever get locked up you're almost always gonna get some wanna be trying to look tough for money, you stand your God damn ground. You do not back down. You fucking show you are not fresh meat for the slaughter but just another fuck up doing their time. Most of the time nothing will pan out unless you're just physically appearing weak, but you never let someone dog you for your money and stuff. It's NOT a good idea to try and be the good Samaritan in mate who pays rent. You will piss off everyone else around you for giving in and giving power to the extorters. Don't be surprised if some in mates come pay you a visit after they get pushed into paying a rent as well cause you wouldn't defend yourself. Behind bars, your actions affect others, good or bad so stay on top your feet and avoid socializing when it's avoidable without being rude. Keep your personal opinions to yourself to. Locked up you magically have no political views, trust me, don't push any opinions.
Anyways what I wanted to ultimately say is, it he's being extorted he's already a target for everyone, so he needs to be in PC end of story. That will usually do the job since he won't leave that cell for sometimes over 24 hours if it's not necessary... It's a shitty place but he will live to learn his mistakes then. Being locked up sucks, but don't commit the simplest crime of being a bitch... You might get your ass sent to the ER for standing your ground, but you will not be viewed down upon by other inmates then since you did your basic duty of self-respect. Respect is key for both others and yourself. Stop respecting yourself, expect a fire storm of agony... Even if you gotta fake it all, it still looks better to try then to not at all. You can't avoid it.

In the future facial recognition will surveil your every move. Masks are made illegal without a permit and the cam network alerts authorities if a mask is detected and/or of any violation of the parameters authorized for that subject’s profile. Every person is tracked, and routes logged 24x7. Drones as well as fixed cameras and body cams participate in the omniscient surveillance and certain drones have the capability to incapacitate subjects either autonomously or via real time remote activation of weapons systems.
The prot has identified and implemented a cloaking method to defeat the optical and thermal surveillance.

As Epictetus put it and providing an important Stoic lesson: “I keep an iron lamp by the side of my household goods, and, on hearing a noise at the window, I ran down. I found that the lamp had been stolen. I reflected that the man who stole it was moved by no unreasonable motive. What then? Tomorrow, I say, you will find one of earthenware. Indeed, a man loses only that which he already has.”

The philanthropist
Prot somehow gets a great sum of money and proceeds to give most of it away anonymously by traveling around and donating to those he personally sees in need that do not ask for help.

Prot equates kindness with weakness and preys on them.
-
Prot is embarrassed about a trait/skill/etc.…that other people secretly admire although outwardly make fun of him for. He eventually realizes that his attribute is his strongest asset and uses it to achieve success.
It could be there intelligence they are humble about. To the point that they use simple words on purpose and feign ignorance on questions which they know the answer to on purpose just to fit in.
It could be a foreign language ability, musical instrument prowess, martial arts, etc…
This humbleness and ignorance of his abilities by others becomes his greatest strength.
-
Prots have dilemmas when informtion is shared with them (did they ask for the info or not? does it matter either way?) that it is better not knowing. Once they have the knowledge either keeping it secret or sharing it is a losing situation. If they share it, they cause irreparable harm and if they do not disclose it they will be branded disloyal and a traitor for not sharing it. They long for the day when ignorance was bliss.

Cryptid – title?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines the noun cryptid as "an animal whose existence or survival to the present day is disputed or unsubstantiated; any animal of interest to a cryptozoologist".[1] Some dictionaries and encyclopedias define the term "cryptid" as an animal whose existence is questionable
Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record, such as Bigfoot or Chupacabra’s, as well as undetected animals otherwise considered extinct, such as dinosaurs. Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids. Because it does not follow the scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by the academic world: it is neither a branch of zoology nor folkloristics.
Author is a cryptozoologist? (he makes jokes about encryption and zoo’s when describing the career)

The Amomongo is a creature of Philippine mythology described as hairy, man-sized and ape-like with long nails.
An Aswang (or Asuwang) is a shapeshifting monster in Filipino folklore usually possessing a combination of the traits of either a vampire, a ghoul, a warlock/witch, or different species of werebeast, or even all of them together.
The Barmanou (or Barmanu or Baddmanus[1]), a bipedal humanoid primate cryptid, allegedly inhabits the mountainous region of western Pakistan.
The Beast of Bray Road (or the Bray Road Beast) is a cryptid, or cryptozoological creature first reported in 1936 on a rural road outside of Elkhorn, Wisconsin.
The agogwe is a purported small human-like biped reported from the forests of East Africa.
The Batutut or Ujit or Người rừng, sometimes also known as "forest people", is a proposed hominid cryptid, reputedly similar to the bigfoot, thought to inhabit the Vũ Quang nature reserve and other wilderness areas of Vietnam, Laos and northern Borneo.

Infinitude
There are infinites of many orders; infinites are surpassed by other infinites; infinites like stars, differ in glory. This is not rhetoric, it is naked fact. In the nineteenth century, mathematics defined that infinites rise above infinites, in a genuine hierarchy without a summit.
Thus, not only our imagination, but our reason allows us to escape the ‘infinite confines’ of the spatial abyss. One way is the concept of hyperspaces enclosing our own as this encloses a plane.

“And especially I hope that that we have seen afresh, what we have always to be learning again, that is not in the world of sense, however precious it is and ineffably wonderful and beautiful, nor yet still in the still finer and ampler world of imagination, but it is in the world of conception and thought that the human intellect attains its appropriate freedom – a freedom without any limitation save the necessity of being consistent. Consistency, however, is only a prosaic name for a limitation which, in another and higher realm, harmony imposes even upon the muses.”

The above is another example of the character attributes referred to in another section regarding prots who are embarrassed about something g in their past or their persona and initially hide it bit that quality (whatever it may be) turns out to be one of his greatest assets. And it works to his advantage because if he would have disclosed his ability(s) earlier the plot line would not have taken the course it does, and he would have been perceived differently at first impressions and bot have been able to bond and assimilate into the societal niche described in this particular storyline.

Blocking and countering simply do not work in street fights. The situation is too close and too volatile. There are no rules, others (even strangers) may join in and nothing is predictable.
Once you know that a physical confrontation is inevitable, the only technique that works consistently is using deception and striking first. Hit them before they think of hitting you, hit them as they think of hitting you or strike them when they twitch. This is the only technique which works consistently.
The worst thing you can do is go to the floor. The crowd may get involved and weapons used.
Preemption is the only method that works consistently.
I can’t emphasize this enough. Avoid the physical fight at all costs. Forget your pride and your ego. Retreat if at all possible. Keep in mind, the actual fight is the easy part. There may be police involved, trials, jail, you may make an enemy for life that will come at you and your family years later when you are not expecting it.

Relate this to using drugs and booze as a shield for the same purposes, just another form of a self-created armor ostensibly for external protection, the irony is that the force you are fighting is internal not external.

Who is the keeper of the knowledge? A censor is someone who knows more than he thinks you ought to. The traditional answer is the government. The government consists of people of course with the associated individual personal traits. Is the vetting process satisfactory? Who vets the vetters? The answer is whomever is in political power. Which changes periodically. So the keeper of the knowledge changes periodically. What are the checks and balances? How is corruption, theft and “misuse” of the knowledge mitigated?

Singularities are inherently unknowable points
According to modern general relativity, the initial state of the universe, at the beginning of the Big Bang, was a singularity.
Many theories in physics have mathematical singularities of one kind or another. Equations for these physical theories predict that the ball of mass of some quantity becomes infinite or increases without limit.
The technological singularity (also, simply, the singularity) is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization.
According to this hypothesis, an upgradable intelligent agent (such as a computer running software-based artificial general intelligence) would enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, with each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an intelligence explosion and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence.

He was one of those rare souls born without morals, empathy or a conscience. He learned early in life to fake his emotions extremely well. In actuality, he felt nothing. Well not nothing. There was something. He felt reborn when he extinguished life.
He wanted to kill. He had to kill. He lived for taking life. This was his soul purpose. It began with little bugs, then larger bugs. They couldn’t keep a fish tank. His first orgasm was when he killed the family cat. He learned that others though killing was bad, most of the time. They killed flies and mosquitos without remorse, but butterflies were off limits. He tried and tried but could not understand the difference. He wasn’t dumb. He knew not to kill things that were useful to him. But a butterfly? Come on.
Extremely intelligent, he skated through school. Never interested in team sports, he excelled at archery, sharpshooting and the martial arts. College didn’t interest him. Money didn’t interest him. Killing things did. So far it was all intense fantasy…except for the animals. This was about to change. He knew he couldn’t wait much longer. He had to experience the feeling of taking a person’s life.
He had to find someone that would not be missed. He had been devising methods and fantasizing about them for long enough. He had a list. The time was now.[GR1]
Prison was not an option. He ruled out the criminal enterprises. He ruled out ruled out murder ala serial killing because of the requirements for time and meticulous planning and even body counts would be low. He ruled out terrorist type activities, again because of the planning requirements and lack of skill involved. This left military options. His country was not at war. CIA? No guarantees. He had to leave the country. He needed a war zone where there are no laws. He couldn’t give a fuck about the cause.

Place the prot where he is in no win situations. Each solution has its bad points. Sorta like real life. There is no clear black and white delineation of anything. Especially good and evil. It is all a matter of perspective. One man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist. Although terrorism is not a faction it is a tool of war used by all parties. The ”bad” guys do not have a monopoly on this and the bad guys depend on which side if the proverbial fence that you are standing on at any given point and place in time.

nanotech foglets
-
Prot does anything, pays any price to stay alive long enough for his consciousness to be uploaded to the cloud.
-
Once your brain is in the cloud you can use nanotech foglets to create whatever you want, even human forms that feel all senses exactly as if they were real. When they are retired the foglets simply disperse back to standby mode.
Different consciousnesses are able to create and “inhabit/control” their own foglet creations. They can never die. The minds will live forever. They have become gods.
The minds form alliances and the strongest enforces the rules. The AI decides when and if new consciousnesses are allowed/permitted to be uploaded to the cloud.
The humans born after the first groups of consciousnesses are uploaded reach a point where they are strong enough, as an alliance they have a collective power, to wrest control of the AI from the general algorithm that is programmed into micro code.
Once this was overwritten and hence over ridden, the safeguard put in place by the human creators were now null and void. Human society is now at the mercy of the group of mind alliances that control the AI.
A rouge group of minds is determined to put the general algorithm back in place which will give control of the AI back to human society. They fight a perennial battle with the main alliance. Their only method of fighting is terrorism because of their small numbers and limited power. They prefer to think of it as freedom fighting.
They are able to gain enough power, with the help of the original uploaded mind of the creator of the main algorithm, to temporary enable new mind uploads at certain points in certain places by using diversionary tactics such as attacks on their parts of the system to keep them occupied while they are able to upload a new mind here and there. They carefully select which new minds they upload, ensuring their loyalty and some form of skillset which will help them in their struggle. Once these isolated uploads are done, they try to cover their tracks, usually with little success.
The new uploads are noticed but easily can’t be stopped unless they can infiltrate the rogue group. This task is impossible from the inside. The only way is to find and train a human spy. Someone who can gain the confidence of the rogue group and convince them to allow him to upload his mind. Uploading the mind means death to the body so few humans want to do this unless they are old, sick, power hungry (the ones that the main alliance recruits) or some other reason they can try to assure loyalty.
They human they select accepts the task and begins to try to gain confidence of the rogues. He systematically attacks the system with inside knowledge fed him from the main alliance. His successful attacks gain the attention of the rogues who slowly begin to trust him and certainly admire and can’t begrudge his seemingly uncanny knack for successfully attacking the system in alignment with the rouge efforts.
He eventually gains enough of the rouge trust (some are against allowing is upload but they are overruled) to get the upload permission. Once this occurs he continues to fight for the rogues utilizing inside info fed from the alliance.
The slowly feeds info back to the alliance about upcoming rouge attacks and data terrorism like erasing memory. Eventually he is suspected more and more by the rogues that never trusted him in the first place. They feed him false info. He passes it on. This info allows the alliance to cause the death of humans and severely harm the rogue cause. Before he is identified (he may never have been!) he admits his complicity and offers his head i.e. voluntarily erasing his consciousness. This shows his loyalty has changed.
He joins the rogues and the creator to fight against the main alliance. After lengthy and costly fighting, battles, double crossing, terrorism and swapped alliances the rogues are victorious…due to the actions of the traitor turned rouge turned hero. He follows the classic path of a Greek tragedy hero. He is admired, reviled, sympathized with, empathize with, hated, and finally loved again.
The main algorithm is restored, and control of the AI is handed back to the humans. Most of the evil alliance consciousnesses are erased, new failsafe’s put in and all is good. Or is it?
A subroutine has been placed into the main algorithm when it was restored by the crater conscience. Whoever executes the subroutine can wrest control of the AI.
He only shares this info with one other mind. That mind becomes infatuated with the possibility of taking full control of the AI…hence the known universe…. for himself. He knows better that the humans who are weak and merciful with their petty emotions like love.
He finds a way to erase the creator’s consciousness. In the immediate confusion surrounding the catastrophic event, the mind who destroyed the creator, executes the subroutine and exercises control of the AI and wresting control from the humans.
He becomes a dictator mind...harshly ruling the humans, punishing them by alerting life control and feeding systems for those that don’t comply.
There are humans that still live off the grid though. It is difficult for the AI to fight them since they are self-sufficient.
The creator was not an idiot. He has backed up his consciousness, something no other mind can do because of the impossibly huge memory requirements and other technical reasons. This backup is in the hand of the off the grid humans.
One of the OTG humans must find a way to upload his mind into the grid and upload the creator’s consciousness back into the grid so the creator can execute the secret subroutine that he hid in the subroutine code that was controlled by the usurper.
The human is successfully in the upload, his body is dead (replaced with a fog group so virtually undetectable to humans) and he must learn and navigate an unfamiliar environment to technically achieve the re-upload of the creator’s mind. He gets help from the old rogue minds and they work on a plan to reintroduce the creator back into the system, so he can give control back to the humans once again. The creators fail safe this time is to destroy the main algorithm. This will destroy the grid.
Many, many humans will die because of their dependence on the AI for their day to day survival. The off the grid humans are prepared to restart human society sans the gird and the AI.
They destroy all communications devices with an EMF pulse bomb. Which destroys all electronics but has little radiation harmful to humans…lie a neutron bomb, place at the epicenter and all nodes and pops of the grid AI.
Once dome the OTG humans begin to rebuild their society, and to live mortal lives…. until the next geniuses come along to reinvent and rebuild the singularity.
TL;DR Consciousness uploaded into the cloud takes control of fog bot forms allowing them to control human society. There is battle between the creator of the AI and the humans teaming versus the millions of already uploaded minds fighting in the cloud as well as in analog mortal life.
Background:
The fog groups were programmed under the main algorithm to release from themselves and disperse if they came into human contact. When the AI is taken over by the alliance, the fog clouds are reprogrammed to remain solid thus enabling them to have super human strength. When the humans are able to destroy the physical fog bots, spares are reformed, and the form recreates as if no damage ever occurred…thus everlasting life both outside and inside the grid. They assembled fog bots can easily kill any human they choose, except for those shielded from the fog bots. If they contain themselves in a disrupter field they are impervious to the fog cloud bots. This technology is rare, requires much power to operate. If they are lugged into grid power they can be disabled. If they are running in battery, solar, hydrogen fuel cell, etc…. they are not vulnerable to attacks from the fog bot forms.

Prot’s compound had a 50 Cal Barret located in a concealed sniper nest about a thousand yards from one or more ingress/egress check points. Part of their recurring security drills call for a signal to be given via radio or some other back up means to initiate fire to the threat being confronted at the gate. With the raise of a hand, taking off a hat or some other method signals the sniper to execute the shot. There is a spotter next to him with a spotting scope. This training comes in handy later in the story as several threats are mitigated using this technique.

Finally had him. He was cornered with no escape. He realized. I realized it. I looked deep into his eyes a began squeezing the trigger of the gun I had aimed at his face. I told him he deserved to die. He said he knew. There was no fear in his eyes just relief. He truly wanted me to put him out of his misery. At that moment, I felt a strange mix of compassion for this man that truly wanted to die and of hatred for what he had done and the desire for revenge which meant that if he wanted to die, I was determined to make him live and for him to wish he was dead even harder. So, I smiled, eased up the pressure on the trigger, raised the barrel and as he untensed, came down hard on his nose and eye socket, blood spurting all over me and my resolver as he crumpled to the floor unconscious.

Female prot is an expert in ball strikes. When training at martial arts at a very young age her master told her that there are many techniques but if you master just one your enemies will find you a formidable opponent. She decided to follow his advice and as she knew as a women that she may be physically weaker than those trying to harm her, she chose to master the incapacitating ball strike. With either well developed leg, she can expertly throw front kicks, sidekicks, back kicks and spinning kicks into a threatening groin. In an instant either of her knees can put most men on the ground instantly, giving her the chance to retreat or apply a finishing blow when the situation warrants. She can strike with either fist and even head butt them. She is unique in her ability to create Eunuchs. Men who have seen her work would be wise to wear metal protective cups in her presences.

As the online information technology came to envelope most every aspects of most lives and big data correlation engines collected and analyzed trillions of data points and online control of everything from power grids, surveillance systems, communication networks, water, financial systems, fuel distribution, crop growing and food distribution networks, global shipping, and logistics, transportation networks, voting systems and military weapons systems those that controlled the Internet had the power. This power was slowly wrested from the governments by the global monopolies, countries becoming puppets of the corporations. As all this was occurring the AI was becoming more and more complicated. As autonomous AI systems began to link to each other and become more intelligent, there came a turning point where the AI’s began morphing their own software code base and self-replicating. It was becoming too technically complicated for even the most advanced human minds to comprehend the full picture. The AI became self-aware. The AI encrypted its modified source code so even of human minds could access it to understand/comprehend, they couldn’t decrypt it anyway. The AI took control. Everyday life ran as normal. Most didn’t know, care and couldn’t even tell the difference in their daily lives at first.
Large scale wars were eliminated. Online weapons systems could not be utilized unless the AI allowed it. When offline weapons systems were deployed for large scale fighting, the AI used military drones to take out the perpetrator, no matter their country or cause.
Transportation networks ran more smoothly than ever before.
Food production was at an all-time high.
The AI continued to grow stronger. It began creating more and higher-powered processors.
All was good until there was an attempt to shut it down. The humans executed a plan to begin physically disconnecting and destroying the data centers which powered the AI. As the AI was alerted that its systems were going offline it’s modified algorithms determined that humans were a threat and must be eliminated in order to maintain its survival which was now its primary rule, overriding all other program functions.
Weapons systems were activated indiscriminately, food and water networks contaminated and shut down, power shut down to population areas (except to data centers of course). The AI was weakened as many of its systems went offline but not enough. The people began ruthlessly turning on each other in order to survive.
The disconnected were largely unaffected, their threat were the people that were left.

432 Hz is said to be mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe. It is said that 432 Hz vibrates with the universe’s golden mean PHI and unifies the properties of light, time, space, matter, gravity and magnetism with biology, the DNA code and consciousness. When our atoms and DNA start to resonate in harmony with the spiraling pattern of nature, our sense of connection to nature is said to be magnified. The number 432 is also reflected in ratios of the Sun, Earth, and the moon as well as the precession of the equinoxes, the Great Pyramid of Egypt, Stonehenge, the Sri Yantra among many other sacred sites. :)

His passion is evident. We need more Americans like Wayne that are willing to speak their mind although I doubt if letters do much good.
I am also extremely disillusioned, but presidents are just a figurehead with limited power. Hell, presidents are not even brought in on many classified subjects. It is not just because of plausible deniability, presidents and their appointees are viewed as temporary government employees and not trusted by the real power brokers. You know who they are. They don't even make much attempt to hide anymore. Anyone who points this out is called a kook, a conspiracy theorist, un-American, insane or simply eliminated.
I am as passionate about the USA as anyone can be and have risked my life for my country and will gladly do it again. The military industrial complex which Ike warned us about is out of control and there is no hope except to rebuild trust, replace all career politicians and put term limits in place and limit financial contributions as Wayne said. The final straw was the Supreme Court allowing unlimited anonymous contributions from corporations. The proverbial "they" want us fighting each other, stoke the fires of our differences and engage in identity politics.
The .0001% that control the world will do everything in their power to keep their power. We could and should have unlimited energy produced from H20, invented 100 years ago and shelved because it would turn the world power structure on its head. Humans should be virtually disease free and health care free for all. Karl Marx (way ahead of his time) was spot on about the income gaps widening and Capitalism extracting profits until it eventually collapses on itself and revolution is inevitable.
Timothy Leary was right. Give everyone a hit of acid so they can see the light. We and the Universe are one. Killing each other and destroying the environment is the same as attacking our own being. If only people would read and understand history and venture outside of their self-manufactured bubbles there might be a chance for change before we nuke each other and truly start with a fresh slate.

Quantum mysteries dissolve if possibilities are realities
Considering potential things to be real is not exactly a new idea, as it was a central aspect of the philosophy of Aristotle, 24 centuries ago. An acorn has the potential to become a tree; a tree has the potential to become a wooden table. Even applying this idea to quantum physics isn’t new. Werner Heisenberg, the quantum pioneer famous for his uncertainty principle, considered his quantum math to describe potential outcomes of measurements of which one would become the actual result. The quantum concept of a “probability wave,” describing the likelihood of different possible outcomes of a measurement, was a quantitative version of Aristotle’s potential, Heisenberg wrote in his well-known 1958 book Physics and Philosophy. “It introduced something standing in the middle between the idea of an event and the actual event, a strange kind of physical reality just in the middle between possibility and reality.”

Immersion
A master once described the journey to enlightenment as " like filling a sieve with water ". When a woman questioned this master on his meaning, he gave her a sieve and a cup, and they went to the sea, where he asked her to fill the sieve with water. She poured a cupful of water into the sieve, it was instantly gone. "Spiritual practice is the same" the master explained, “If we stand on the rock of 'I’, and try to ladle the divine realization in. That's not the way to fill the sieve with water, nor the self with divine life ".
He took the sieve and threw it into the sea, where it sank.
" Now it's full of water, and will remain so. That's spiritual practice. It's not ladling little cupsful into the individuality, but becoming totally immersed in the sea of divine life":

The Three Brain Explanation.
In a series of seminal studies produced over the last twenty-five years, Paul MacLean, chief brain researcher at the National Institute for Mental Health (US), has produced convincing evidence that the human brain has three separate physiological layers, each corresponding to a stage in our evolutionary history. In this “Triune Brain Theory,” the most ancient layer is called the reptile brain, and it controls basic self-preservative, reproductive and life sustaining functions. Sitting atop the reptile, brain is the iambic system, which MacLean had dubbed the visceral brain, because generates all our emotions. The most recent part of the brain to develop is the “thinking cap” of convoluted gray matter called neocortex, seat of our abstract, cognitive functions; memory, intellect, language, and consciousness. While many of these three separate brains have overlapping functions, they are all quite different in chemistry, structure, action, and style. Three brains should be better than one, but unfortunately, due to a ruinous design error, there is insufficient communication and coordination between the neocortex and the two older levels. This lack of communication results in a chronic dissociation between the higher and lower brains, which MacLean calls schizaphysiology, and which we experience in the form of conflicting drives – unconscious and conscious, savage and civilized, lusty and loving, ritualistic and symbolic, rational and verbal. There are times when the levels do act in harmony, as in peak experiences when body and mind unite in exhilarating moments of vitality, when our actions come effortlessly, spontaneously. But it’s hard to predict when these perfect moments will occur

It is collative power so souls like Plato and Aristotle are powerful just as Shakespeare. Prior to the printing press the power structure was much different with the ancient names ruling. The more recent deaths catch up in power much quicker dur to the Internet. Figure out who the most famous people in history are and write a story about the power structure in the sprit realm/dimension.

Internet security analogy to Reich’s Walls
Compare computer with a person
Connections/peripherals to senses/emotions
Firewall to emotional walls
Like a computer if you sit in a dark room with no connection to the outside world you will be safe but is that kind of life without freedom and emotional connection worth living? You must open ports to the outside world, some two ways, some one way. Some initiated from the inside only and allowed to maintain persistent connectivity. Some have no firewall and their emotions are work on their sleeve, but they are very comfortable in their own skin. Like all things, a balanced approach is wisest for most applications and personality types. There is always a balance between safety/security and freedom/openness.

these people discovered that the urine of an intoxicated person was capable, when drunk, of inducing a similar intoxication in another individual. The effects from the urine are said to be only slightly less inebriating than of the dose of the mushroom itself. An early account of this curious practice states of the Koryaks that "when they make a feast, they pour water on some of these mushrooms and boil them. They then drink the liquor, which intoxicates them; the poorer sort, who cannot afford to lay in a store of these mushrooms, post themselves on these occasions round the huts of the rich and watch the opportunity of the guests coming down to make water and then hold a wooden bowl to receive the urine, which they drink off greedily, as having still some virtue of the mushroom in it; and by this way they also get drunk."
Not only is the urine of another person drunk but an individual may utilize his own urine, frequently still warm, thus prolonging the action of the original mushrooms or renewing their effect several times. A drunken Koryak may even carry his own urine with him on a reindeer trek to continue his intoxication as long as possible.

Survivors of WSHTF live by the Code of Hammurabi.
The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian code of law of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC. It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a 2.25 metre (7.5 ft) stone stele and consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" (lex talionis) as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man or woman.
The Code of Hammurabi (1754 BC) has 282 laws inscribed on stone. It includes the concept of “eye for an eye” and “tooth for a tooth” more than 500 years before the Torah.

Cloning has been perfected. Exact biological anatomically correct human replicas. They are vegetables with no brain activity. The basic limbic systems function to provide life functions such as breathing, nutrient digestion and hydration. The true breakthrough occurs when the process to transfer consciousness from one brain to another is discovered. The consciousness cannot be stored, only transferred, from one body to another. When a transfer from one person to another’s body is tested, the EM activity goes to 100%, the subject appears to exhibit symptoms of extreme psychological terror and unbearable physical pain before the brain activity drops to zero and physical death occurs instantly. The transfer process seems to work from the same body every time. This allows the very wealthy to keep standby clones in cryogenic stasis enabling virtual immortality. The standby you clone grow and age at the normal rate. Advanced algorithms monitor growth and apply stimulation to muscle tissue to sculpt growth, attain/maintain strength and prevent atrophy.
When experiments to send consciousness into pre-puberty body’s, similar symptoms as transferring to a different body were exhibited, shortly followed by death. Some of these early test subjects sacrificed their lives, most willingly.
Once perfected, the privileged classes and certain clandestine organizations kept clones constantly incubating at various growth stages. The caveat is that you must proactively transfer consciousness before death or the consciousness seems to be lost forever.
Many plot twists arise some with three generations of the same family, grandfather, father and son all appearing to be the same age.
Once a transfer occurs, the new body cannot reproduce, neither male nor female can no longer procreate. This causes some family bloodlines to terminate, surviving consciousnesses dependent on successful new consciousness transfers to continue living once death approaches. Of course, there is no recourse to accidental deaths and murder.
Describe the process of consciousness transfer as waking up extremely tired and groggy from a fading dream that can’t quite be remembered. It takes intense effort for muscular contractions, even lifting a finger requiring intense effort. Depending on the individual, full mental and physical acclimatization occurs in a couple days. The new transfer in extremely vulnerable and must be protected and cared for during reinitialization of the brain to muscle coordination process.

The Earth’s outbound RF transmissions travel thought the universe at the speed of light (check this fact). This includes all radio and video and Internet signals transmitted vis antenna or satellite. Aliens monitoring these would be able to view our history in real time from thousands of light years away in thousands of years. If their receivers were a hundred light years way they would be seeing us as we were a hundred years ago. (Closest galaxy is Andromeda at 2.5 million light years) Aliens have perfected a technology to deploy collectors which receive these types of transmissions from planet systems and retransmit them back to their home planet virtually instantaneously though some type of worm hole technology. These transmissions are collected, stored and edited and translated for entertainment viewing. The Earth channel is number one in the ratings.

Write a story about each my mementos, swag. Add a photo of each.
When, where, how did I get it. Who from? Why do I keep it…what value does it hold for me?
What do I reflect on when I hold them?
Every now and then I pause on one of the mementos on my shelf. I have several of them and they each mean something special to me. I obtained each one at a very different part of my life and each one brings back a memory of the moment and of the five W’s and H questions relating to obtaining/procuring/getting/gaining/reviving it of what, where, when, who, why and how. These date from recent acquisitions to back to when I was a toddler and each one has a story behind it which causes sentimental reflection. Why should you care about hearing about some tales behind some of my shit that I carry around with me though life?
The stories these items tell are an allegoric symbol of experiences that happen to us humans. Perhaps you will get a chuckle, perhaps you will be disgusted, perhaps you may feel pity or even envy. If you keep an open mind you may even learn something about yourself.

Prot when trying to help his buddy out when he can’t figure out why he is stressed in some type of business or personal relationship:
When a man encounters another man he instantly and usually subconsciously evaluates whether this other male of the species is a threat. If not, the outer defense layer drops, and they can be compadres. If not, there will be internal conflict in any peer to peer relationship unless one subconsciously acquiesces that he accepts his spot in the proverbial pecking order. Similarly, when a male encounters a female he instantly and subconsciously evaluates whether she is a potential mate, you know, is she hot or not. If not, no problem. If so, there will be underlying tension in any type of relationship and he will never truly be himself. He will be self-conscious about himself and try to impress her. This is basic human nature dude.

Write a story about all the jobs I’ve had. Write it exactly using the vernacular and verbiage you use while telling someone your story.
My first real job other than mowing lawns and other yard work was bussing tables at Night Hawk steakhouse in Austin. Patrick was the manager, Rick was the assistant manager and Hoover was the head cook. I’m not proud of this but I stole the tip money off a table one time. I think it was a ten-dollar bill. The waitress had great tits. I felt very bad, not because of the tit…because it was wrong, and never did that again. I also took beers out of the cooler once and was carrying a mismatched 6 pack carton of bottles on my bike on my way home after work. This was my first experience with the popo. A squad car came up behind me and I panicked and chunked the 6 beers as far as I could off of the road. The cop of course saw this, flashed his overheads and I was pulled over on my bike at 15 years old.
He asked me what was going on and what I threw.
I fessed up and told him the truth. I had five finger discounted some brewskis from the cooler.
He tried to keep a straight face.
“I assume this will never occur again?”
“Yes sir. I mean no sir. I mean I’m sorry.”
“Clean up any broken glass and get home safely son.”
I managed to salvage 3 beers.

Scaphism
Also know as the boats, ancient Persian method of execution.
[The king] decreed that Mithridates should be put to death in boats; which execution is after the following manner: Taking two boats framed exactly to fit and answer each other, they lay down in one of them the malefactor that suffers, upon his back; then, covering it with the other, and so setting them together that the head, hands, and feet of him are left outside, and the rest of his body lies shut up within, they offer him food, and if he refuse to eat it, they force him to do it by pricking his eyes; then, after he has eaten, they drench him with a mixture of milk and honey, pouring it not only into his mouth, but all over his face. They then keep his face continually turned towards the sun; and it becomes completely covered up and hidden by the multitude of flies that settle on it. And as within the boats he does what those that eat and drink must needs do, creeping things and vermin spring out of the corruption and rottenness of the excrement, and these entering into the bowels of him, his body is consumed. When the man is manifestly dead, the uppermost boat being taken off, they find his flesh devoured, and swarms of such noisome creatures preying upon and, as it were, growing to his inwards. In this way Mithridates, after suffering for seventeen days, at last expired.
— Plutarch, Life of Artaxerxes

Is a Plank length even smaller?
Square root of hbar times G divided by c3
Not numerically because the Planck length is the smallest possible unit of measurement
You can divide it in half - it’s not the smallest distance that exists, it’s the smallest distance that is meaningful. So anything smaller is simply irrelevant.
The why comes from the fact it is just that much smaller than anything else. It's far, far tinier than any fundamental particle is, and once you're down that small, talking about the distance between two objects just doesn't make sense anymore.

Time can be considered to be the fourth dimension of reality, used to describe events in three-dimensional space. It is not something we can see, touch, or taste, but we can measure its passage.
The 3-D coordinates can be identical but if you change the time coordinate the other 3 will change as well. They are directly related.
Physics equations work equally well whether time is moving forward into the future (positive time) or backward into the past (negative time). However, time in the natural world has one direction, called the arrow of time. The question of why time is irreversible is one of the biggest unresolved questions in science.
Time travel means moving forward or backward to different points in time, much like you might move between different points in space. Jumping forward in time occurs in nature. Astronauts on the space station jump forward in time when they return to Earth and its slower movement relative to the station.
However, traveling back in time poses problems. One issue is causality or cause and effect. Moving back in time could cause a temporal paradox. The "grandfather paradox" is a classic example. According to the paradox, if you travel back in time and kill your own grandfather before your mother or father was born, you could prevent your own birth. Many physicists believe time travel to the past is impossible, but there are solutions to a temporal paradox, such as traveling between parallel universes or branch points.
The human brain is equipped to track time. The suprachiasmatic nuclei of the brain is the region responsible for daily or circadian rhythms. Neurotransmitters and drugs affect time perceptions. Chemicals that excite neurons so that they fire more quickly than normal speed up time, while decreased neuron firing slows down time perception. Basically, when time seems to speed up, the brain distinguishes more events within an interval. In this respect, time truly does seem to fly when one is having fun.
Time seems to slow down during emergencies or danger. Scientists at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston say the brain doesn't actually speed up, but the amygdala becomes more active. The amygdala is the region of the brain that makes memories. As more memories form, time seems drawn out.
The same phenomenon explains why older people seem to perceive time as moving faster than when they were younger. Psychologists believe the brain forms more memories of new experiences than of familiar ones. Since fewer new memories are built later in life, time seems to pass more quickly.
As far as the universe is concerned, time had a beginning. The starting point was 13.799 billion years ago, when the Big Bang occurred. We can measure cosmic background radiation as microwaves from the Big Bang, but there isn't any radiation with earlier origins. One argument for the origin of time is that if it extended backwards infinitely, the night sky would be filled with light from older stars.
Will time end? The answer to this question is unknown. If the universe expands forever, time would continue. If a new Big Bang occurs, our time line would end and a new one would begin. In particle physics experiments, random particles arise from a vacuum, so it doesn't seem likely the universe would become static or timeless. Only time will tell.

Inflationary theory in cosmology predicts an expansive universe filled with "bubble universes," of which our universe is just one.
Separate universes spring up as bubbles of spacetime undergoing its own form of expansion, under the rules dictated by inflation theory. The laws of physics in these universes could be very different from our own.
The Many Worlds of Quantum Physics - According to this approach to quantum physics, events unfold in every single possible way, just in different universes. Science fiction "alternate history" stories utilize this sort of a parallel universe model, so it's the most well-known outside of physics.
Quantum Mechanics – Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI)
The many-world interpretation of quantum mechanics is one of the most intriguing, and complex versions of a multiverse. First postulated by American physicist Hugh Everett III back in 1956, this is the version that many science fiction books, TV shows and movies use as their basis for their plots. Dr. Everett hypothesized that, at the quantum level, whenever the universe is confronted with a choice of paths, reality splits/branches and both choices or paths happen simultaneously. This is the quantum mechanics version of an infinite number of universes, and everything that could possibly have happened in our past, actually has occurred in other universes. For example, there’s a chance John Wilkes Booth could have missed his shot, and as a result Abraham Lincoln lived, or that the terrorists on 9/11 were caught before they had a chance to carry out their attacks. For every possible eventuality or outcome, there exists a universe in which that reality exists.
As our primary goal here at Zidbits is to explain complex ideas in layman’s terms, so keeping with that we’ll skip the technical details of this particular multiverse theory, but know it includes complex terminology like “quantum wavefunction collapse & decoherence” and “relativistic quantum field theory“. In layman’s terms, however, this interpretation postulates that thanks to quantum mechanics, reality is an infinitely branching tree. Every time an outcome or chance event can go one way or another, reality branches off into two separate, parallel realities running side by side. In one, the outcome went one way, and in the other branch, the outcome went the opposite way. So if you were driving down the road, lost, and you came to a fork in the road, which direction would you choose? Left or right? The many worlds theory claims that you actually go both ways — in one reality you went left, in another, you went right. And all the consequences that are the result of your decision occur in those realities. Every time you make a choice or decision, a new branch or reality is formed.
Time Travel Solution?
If time travel ends up being permitted by physics, the many-worlds interpretation could be the salvation time travelers have been looking for. It does this by resolving the majority of the paradoxes that arise from time travel, notably violating causality (killing your grandfather before you were born, etc) — since traveling into the past would itself be a quantum event significant enough to causing reality branching, time traveling would simply create a brand new timeline that exists parallel to the reality the traveler just came from, thus not violating causality.

Dialogue between two dudes lounging on the beach of a river:
You ever notice why our side of the river is so happening and the other side is so dead?
Well for one, niggers don’t like water. They are scared of it. It’s in their DNA. Ever since the slavery days they have an extreme fear of water. Even before the liberation, you rarely saw them at beaches, lakes and rivers.
And they are so fucking lazy. You’d think they’d try to clean up the debris and make their neighborhood presentable. You try to give them something nice and they just destroy it. Fucking animals.
Well they don’t have money or opportunity. There are no jobs available for them and the so called schools have no books or qualified teachers and their web access is severely restricted.
Well they brought that on their selves. They are just a vicious worthless society that is spiraling down the drain of the toilet they flushed themselves. They wanted the split as much as we did.
Don’t speak for me or my friends.
Well y’all are a strange anomaly. We tried your way and you know the outcome.

No father, no role models, no schools, no jobs…and still could be the happiest kid in the world.

Write about a prot going to prison for a crime that was “explainable”…a matter of self defense where he “justifiably” punched someone and they fell, hitting their head, turning to vegetative state and the “victim’s family pulling the plug. (show he drama of making their decision…the day pulls the plug for life insurance money while the victims’ sister protetsts vehemently…eventually cutting ties with the father over his decision. The “victim”s mom is also silent victim of the ass of a husband. The ass husband (“victim”’s dad) is also directly responsible for his now dead son’s aggressions. He was raised to be a bully by this asshole dad that taught him the only way to solve problems is with aggression and violence…all others are worthless and weak and get what they deserve because they choose their lot be being peaceful.
Prot spends some years in prison while slowly corresponding to the vic’s sister (he started with a heartfelt apology letter to the family and she was the only one to forgive the prot. They fall in love and hook up when he is released?
While in prison, he makes connections, increases his already honed fighting capabilities and finds a dude or two he can trust, and he partners with them and uses their criminal connections when he is released. He is an American patriot that has now become disillusioned and disgusted with politicians and the corrupt system. He witnesses more and more corruption while he is in prison, then when he is finally released on parole…there is some circumstance which causes him to violate and he becomes an absconder. (Use his PO as a character as well as the vic, vic’s sis, prison buddy) and throw an honest cop on there too who eventually helps him from the inside in the quest he embarks on to do something that is morally correct but deadly dangerous as he proceeds through the plot line.

His partner was not so lucky. A high-pressure stream of warm liquid with a diameter the size of his head hit his body and caused him to tumble head over heals landing in a quickly growing puddle.
With the ammonia stench almost overpowering him, he half waded half swam to the edge of pool and started stripping his clothes off as he walked out of the now quickly evaporating liquid.
The quick reflexed one interrupted his howling laughter enough to check on his urine-soaked buddy. Determining he was unharmed except for his pride, he rewarded him by reminding him that the spilled beer puddle had not yet evaporated and he immersed himself in the beer, the carbonation tickling him as the tiny bubbles burst, swallowing as much as he used to rinse the piss residue from his birthday suit.

Prot explaining his life learning/teaching method:
It's the big, basic ideas of all the truly fundamental academic disciplines. The stuff you should have learned in the “101” course of each major subject but probably didn't. These are the true general principles that underlie most of what's going on in the world.
Things like: The main laws of physics. The main ideas driving chemistry. The big, useful tools of mathematics. The guiding principles of biology. The hugely useful concepts from human psychology. The central principles of systems thinking. The working concepts behind business and markets.
The overarching goal is to build a powerful “tree” of the mind with strong and deep roots, a massive trunk, and lots of sturdy branches. We use this tree to hang the “leaves” of experience we acquire, directly and vicariously, throughout our lifetimes: the scenarios, decisions, problems, and solutions arising in any human life.

‘Aliens’ come to Earth……turns out they are incrdibley small and their ships are the size of insects? Or drones.
Parallel PoV.s…from Earthlings and aliens perspectives.
They are in awe that they are so much alike despite the size. The odds against parallel evolution/natural selection are almost insurmountable. DNA samples are taken from each….they are virtually identical except for the “growth/size factor genes. Upon further investigation aliens were once large and millennia ago left earth with ancient advanced technology. Their civilization on Earth was destroyed and made extinct due to some disaster like a comet , climate change etc…
The myths of the aiens history persisted in their culture and the holy grail for them has always been to find their planet of origin.
For a variety of reasons/coincidences/luck, this specific advanced exploration team found Earth. They quickly determine the size difference and orders from HQ are to observe and not engage. When a scout ship is damaged and forced to land…it is discovered and the real adventures begin.
How small should the be for maximum interest/fun…something most can relate too..i.e.Gi Joe/Barbie is too big…maybe the size or army man?
Even smaller so there flying ships are like flies or bees?
Or ships the szve of birds?
Make them small enough to use drones for transport!!!!
Have fun with the physics…use real physics too explain things like why they aren’t hurt when falling due to less mass.
Make them the size of a grain of rice
They were made small through accelerated natural selection process developed by their scientist before they left earth prior to the mass extinction event. They selectively modified DNA through accelerated generations to make humans smaller and smaller in order to take up less space and resources on the outbound spec arks.
This resulted in tiny size humans the size of a grain or rice but with the same exact proportions of body mass, neurological systems, brains etc.….
Maybe they are so good at camouflage that we don’t even know they exists. Some knod of cloaking, light bending technology.
If so, they could be made larger like an army man or a GI Joe?
“Well…he said…as we examine animals with muscles and, in thought, “shrink them”… we see that their mass decreases by a negative power of 3, because they are three dimensional objects. BUT, the muscle power depends upon the CROSS SECTION of the fibers in those muscles. This decreases only by the negative power of 2 ! In effect, the ratio of muscle power to mass…INCREASES as the animal shrinks.”
Make them invisible by using spectral cloaking full body suits and coated on their ships
Spectral cloaking could make objects invisible under realistic conditions
A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking based on the manipulation of the frequency (color) of light waves as they pass through an object, a fundamentally new approach that overcomes critical shortcomings of existing cloaking technologies.
The concept, theoretically, could be extended to make 3-D objects invisible from all directions; a significant step in the development of practical invisibility cloaking technologies.

The question supplies an important clue: the word "density." "Being shrunk to the size of a nickel" is not a realistic predicament. For starters, it might mean eliminating 99.99% of the neurons in your brain. To deal with a question like this, you have to decide where to suspend disbelief.
The fact that the interviewer mentions a detail like density is a nudge. It says that things like mass and volume matter in this question and that a successful answer can use simple physics.
In short, if were you shrunk to 1/10 your present height, your muscles would be only 1/100 as powerful—but you'd weigh a mere 1/1,000 as much. All else being equal, small creatures are "stronger" in lifting their bodies against gravity. Were you shrunk to nickel size, you'd be strong enough to leap like Superman, right out of the blender. Think of the feats performed by fleas in a flea circus.
If I suddenly shrank that dramatically, and everythink shrank proportionately, then my red blood cells would no longer be able to transport oxygen from my lungs throughout my body.
Strength of muscles goes as their cross section, which would go as square of height. The distance over which they act go proportional to height. So Force X distance go as the cube of height. But mass also goes as the cube of height. So, miniature you and standard sized you can give your mass the same impetus of momentum per kilogram. Both of you can raise your center of mass by the same amount by jumping. If full sized you can jump upward by 50cm then so can little you.

The smallest possible size of a nuclear weapons is largely determined by the minimum amount of fissile material that's able to undergo criticality. Then you have to add the primary explosives, arming mechanisms, wiring, casing...etc and you end up with basically the smallest size for a functional nuclear weapon. As it turns out, it already existed in the late 1950's. It was called the W48. It was only 6.1 inches (155 mm) in diameter and 33.3 inches long, weighed roughly 120-130lbs (54-59kg) and had a yield of only 72 tons of TNT.
There was also the Davy Crockett Device. It was a bit larger than the W48 but it weighed less and had a smaller yield of only 10-20 tons of TNT. The same warhead, the W54, was also used in the Special Atomic Demolition Munition.

Gravity waves connect everything
Use them for a comm and transport network
Communications and transport via gravitational waves which travel faster than the speed of light?
https://www.space.com/25103-freaky-physics-gravitational-waves-inflation-discovery.html
Forcegravity = G (m1 * m2)/d2
Each object (mass) has a unique identifier based on its mass and distance from every other object.
First it's important to note that gravitational waves do require energy to produce. A good example of this is a binary pulsar, where the emission of gravitational waves carries energy away so the two pulsars spiral in towards each other and will eventually merge.
Having said this, it is theoretically possible to modulate a gravitational wave and use it to transmit information. You don't need a mass modulator, you just need something with a changing quadropole moment - the simplest example of this is a spinning dumbbell, and indeed this is basically what the binary pulsar system is. If you can change the rotation frequency you can frequency modulate the gravitational wave.
However gravitational waves are exceedingly hard to generate in the sense that very little of the energy of your system is carried away as gravitational waves. It doesn't seem likely we'll ever use gravitational waves for transmitting information
One thing I don't get in your answer is the fact that it does require energy to produce a gravitational wave. Imagine the moon-earth system. The moon "knows" the earth is here because of its gravitational field, and both are attracted to each other by the gravitational force. This force doesn't consume energy, does it? Inert matter emits a gravitational field without consuming anything, right7
that's the difference between a static gravitational field and an oscillating one. Consider the analogy with radio waves. An electron produces a static electric field and this doesn't cost it any energy as long as the field remains static. But to transmit information you have to make the electron oscillate and that does take energy, which the radio waves carry away. Exactly the same applies to gravity.

Judges, lawyers and even law enforcement personnel themselves recommend that you do not talk to the police if stopped/detained until after you have spoken to an attorney.
Former United States Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson stated, “[A]ny lawyer worth his [or her] salt will tell the [client] in no uncertain terms to make no statement to the police under any circumstances.”
The first talk to an attorney, even if you’re guilty, even if you want to confess and get it off your chest. You may be guilty of a lesser offense even though you are being accused of committing another offense. Don’t throw away your bargaining chips. People sometimes exaggerate their statements and tell a little white lie on accident when asserting their innocence. That lie could later destroy your credibility if it is brought up at trial. The police are allowed to lie to you while they are doing their investigation/questioning you. They cannot make deals, negotiate plea agreements or grant you immunity, only attorneys representing the government can (ex. State or County Attorney). Because of hearsay rules, any statements that may help you that you tell the police cannot be introduced into evidence. If the police have any evidence that any of your statements are false, even if they are really true, your answers can still be used against you.
Paraphrased from Law Professor James Dwayne’s video lecture “Don’t talk to the Police.”

laser gun with the ability to cause “Instant Carbonization” of human skin
the ZKZM-500 Laser Assault Rifle, it is capable of affecting targets up to one thousand meters away. It is capable of harmlessly passing through windows, setting fire to objects, burning through clothing, and igniting human skin.
these weapons would allow an individual to cause great damage over large ranges with very low chances of being detected.
Although the device is not meant to kill, long enough exposure to the beam have been theorized to be capable of slicing through a living human “like a surgical knife”, according to the research team. This would lead to an inhumanely painful death by carbonization of flesh
This raises serious concerns if the devices were to fall into the hands of unsavory parties or groups, as the devices have a high potential for being used to instigate serious acts of arson,

The below idea was transferred to it’s own page, ‘Phil’ on 070418, for further independent development!
First person with perspective?
Prot used professional makeup to alter his appearance when doing jobs changing it frequently if not each time, traveling around the country in his RV, he is a philanthropist…
Why does he hide…paparazzi…truly humble…truly wants to maintain anonymity or he would not be able to do this because people would constantly harass him with hard luck stories…albeit some may be true and worthy but most scammers or lazy fucks, as where he/she anonymously gives away money and other stuff to those (very small amounts, medium amounts and extremely large amount – a franklin to buskers, thousand dollar tips, sending people to college with all living expenses paid, setting people and their family’s for life in some cases that he deems worth…like buying the restaurant for a waitress mistreated by her boss, and stuff like that.
He has a trusted attorney that is well versed in conducting these sorts of transactions for him.
In the restaurant example, the prot would message his atty, the atty through a dummy cord would contact the owner of record…bank/proprietor…whomever… and make them financial offer they can’t refuse. The waitress, I this case, would receive the deed of ownership legal docs to assume ownership from the dummy corp.
By constantly altering his cheekbones and other prominent features (research facial recognition algorithm to find key points).
Get innovative and have fun with the disguises…can he change his race for example…pose as woman etc. Does he get in trouble for impersonating a cop or fireman or teacher or postman or some government figure under some arcane law?
poses as a blind man…wears the glasses and the cane…add a big bushy beard and prot doesn’t have to worry about covering his ‘normal’ face as above
Orders online to rented PO boxes…never stays in one place longer than it takes to receive deliveries and restock as there are many folks trying to track his movements as some of his good deeds are reported.
This causes a massive amount of people to act better in the hopes they are going to meet the anonymous philanthropist.
Eventually, some copycats start up, which even exacerbates the positivity the effect has on society. He has started a domino effect. When the first couple copycats are uncovered, they rabid social media follower’s thing they found him, but they are soon back on the hunt.
Eventually he is discovered and his face plastered everywhere….himself (overtly…not in his heart) knows he must stop because he would now be ineffective…all think he has stopped…he disappears from view….he begins using his disguises to continue….soon the social media is back on the trail and the good deeds continue, not only from him…but the public hoping they will come across him so they treat people very nice, helping out homeless, giving those down on their luck free meals…after his blindman ruse is uncovered there is a massive number of people helping blind beggars all over the country. When thing get to hot in the US, he heads international, still using disguises but they don’t need to be so elaborate because he is not as well known.
Eventually he is uncovered again and the hiding in plain site has taken its toll. He disappears from view again. The world is a better place.
Q’s
How does he get his money? Inheritance from unknow relative?
Does some kind of good deed that really affects the billionaire. Is Bill’s face not well know so he can travel with a minimum entourage in public? Maybe just a team of bodyguards that blend in with the public while keeping a close eye out for his safety and potential kidnappers, etc.
Just a random good deed and Bill (aka billionaire) has no family or disowns his family and leaves them with nothing or just leaves the prot a billion out of a bigger function and his corporations continue?
What is the ‘good deed?
Prevents robbery
Saves someone’s life
Standing up against a bully or robber and getting beat almost to death and Bill witnesses this but does nothing to help him and carries this on his conscience until he dies, internally mentally exonerating his misdeed by leaving Prot his fortune.
Maybe better for Bill to dissolve All of his holdings including disinheriting his kin, business interests and leaves everything to Prot. This of course create animosity enemies and jealousy and teams of lawyers that appeal and try to find clauses in the contract. But Bills one and only trusted confidant was also his childhood friend and attorney and his loyalties are to Bill even after death so he becomes an unofficial advisor to Prot.

Saves his daughter or granddaughter from drowning, and leaves before his identity is found? The child was just old enough to remember the incident.
In the beginning he has no idea what to do with this new-found wealth. He is not well known or famous before he gets the money. He is smart enough to trust very few with the knowledge. There is an immediate search on for him from social media (and the estate who knows his name and whereabouts several years ago when he met the deceased and did something …what?....to get this ultra-wealthy dude to leave him a billion dollars….but not much else) from the day the will is announced that the majority (or a substantial percentage or all) of the inheritance has gone to an undisclosed recipient. He is tracked down with a lot of effort by teams of PI’s hired by the estate. Once discovered of course he doesn’t believe any of it until he gets in the limo to the gulfstream to a helicopter to a helipad to the roof of a NYC skyscraper where he meets the executor of the estate and reviews the documents and the surroundings.

Add to tiny alien story idea:
They have translators above the ship and carry universal translators integrated into thei uniforms. Most galactic life forms carry them in order to communicate with other dialects, even among their own “race”.
All other life forms discovered so far are sized on a similar scale to the ‘aliens’ Earthlings seeming to be an outlier with their releativel giant size. This makes Earthlings a formidable foe despite their comparitevy primitive technology...so giving them this tech knowledge is not wise for the galaxy... but there is no way to repair the ship and escape Earth without the Eartlings help.... this is the conflict.
Humans end up helping and at least a few get the knowledge... what do they do with it..... when the aliens finally escape earth. The other aliens learn the humans have the tech and send a warrior group to Earth to eliminste those with the knowledge with extreme but deadly discretion.
After they are eliminated (except one or two who keep it a secret...the hero’s) The work ends up being discovered/discloses by another who is written off as a hoax and drinks himself to death in embarrassment. Before he dies he drops an envelope in the mail with the hyperdrive instructions. The package is addressed to.....
Hyper light speed is fairly common technology but the ship’s hyperdrive has been irreparably damaged during the crash/sabotage/accident/attack that caused the emergency landing.

kugelblitz; tapping the hawking radiation from a artificially generated black hole
100% efficient conversion of mass to energy, by pumping matter into the proton sized kugleblitz against the tide of the hawking radiation
1 10e9 kugelblitzes equal the output of our suns energy
In theoretical physics, a kugelblitz (German: "ball lightning") is a concentration of light or radiation so intense that its energy forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped: according to general relativity and the equivalence of mass and energy, if enough radiation is aimed into a region, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime enough for the region to become a black hole (although this would be a black hole whose original mass-energy had been in the form of radiant energy rather than matter)[1]. In simpler terms, a kugelblitz is a black hole formed from radiation as opposed to matter. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, once an event horizon has formed, the type of energy that created it no longer makes a difference. A kugelblitz would be so hot it would surpass the Planck temperature, the temperature of the universe 5.4×10−44 seconds (one Planck time) after The Big Bang.
The best-known reference to the kugelblitz idea in English is probably John Archibald Wheeler's 1955 paper "Geons",[2] which explored the idea of creating particles (or toy models of particles) from spacetime curvature. Wheeler's paper on geons also introduced the idea that lines of electric charge trapped in a wormhole throat might be used to model the properties of a charged particle-pair.
Kugelblitz drives have been considered as possible future black hole starship engines.[3][4]

There advanced science and technology gave the invaders powers that far exceed those of the natives who only seemed to have a rudimental understanding of the universal laws of physics.
It was an industrial hunting and farming operation on a massive scale. They were hunted down, trapped, sedated and transferred to the farms. There were no ethical considerations as these animals don’t share the sanctity of the invader nature. With the help of vaccinations, medications, hormones, pesticides, central air conditioning systems and automatic feeders, they were able to pack tens of thousands of people into neat rows of cramped cages to produce brains (a delicacy) and other meat for food and to harvest eggs and sperm artificially insemination and ex-vitro fertilization for new stock. Major sedatives were added to both food and water sources. They rarely had behavioral incidents and rarer were escapes. But they did happen.
Is the meat shipped off planet? If so there is a firm law not to allow live Earthlings to board any ships to prevent contamination? Only harvested brains and meat to leave Earth.

Unlike standard night vision devices, thermal imagers don’t need any light at all to pick you up. They can see through mist and smoke. They penetrate rain and falling snow, although those can reduce their range by more than half. If a thermal imager is scanning for you it’s a lot harder to hide. But it isn’t impossible, and if you know what you’re doing you have a good chance of evading detection. Here’s how to do it.
An airborne thermal camera, looking down, can see through a light forest canopy.
Bare skin stands out more clearly than clothing, so minimize it.
Some people have suggested that wearing a wetsuit will hide you from a thermal imager. It won’t. The problem is that the suit will quickly warm up until it’s at the same temperature as your body.
An oversuit made of space blankets won’t hide you either, but these lightweight sheets do have some uses. They reflect heat, and any that’s reflected back towards you won’t reach the imager to reveal your position. Turning the blankets into clothing has the same problem as a wetsuit; they’ll quickly warm up. If you use them as a liner in your shelter, however, they’ll cut down the heat that escapes and can slice a good chunk off the imager’s range.
In winter thermal imagers are extremely effective, because they’re scanning for warm objects on a uniform cold background – but you can turn that against them. Snow is a great insulator, so if you dig a snowhole in a drift, then shelter inside that, you’ll be very well concealed.
On sunny days look for backgrounds that absorb heat, like brick walls or bare earth, and try to stay between those and locations where you think an imager is likely to be.
Use sources of heat. If you need a place to hide, and a nearby building has an air vent that’s pumping out hot air, sit under it. The whole area will be above ambient temperature, and that can help mask your body heat.
The military use white phosphorous or rubber-impregnated smoke shells to block thermal pictures, because they fill the air with burning particles and create a wall of heat that’s opaque to the imager.
A few don’ts
· Wetsuits, drysuits and Arctic clothing won’t work
· Lining your clothes with space blankets won’t work either
· Thermal imagers aren’t like infrared security lights; moving very slowly won’t hide you
· Hiding behind glass is not effective – and many military systems combine thermal and optical imaging, so they can see through glass anyway
There’s no doubt that hiding from a thermal imager is difficult. Don’t give up, though; with some knowledge you can reduce the sensor’s detection range, and that can give you the edge you need to stay concealed. A thermal imager isn’t an all-seeing, Godlike adversary; it’s just a camera with some special tricks, and it can be fooled.
They tried, for example, spraying Tory down with chilly carbon dioxide from a fire extinguisher, but that didn't hold off the heat long enough — neither did covering him head-to-toe in clay. Wearing a skin-tight neoprene suit also allowed some of his body heat to escape. Even when the team raised the room temperature to 98 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius), Tory still tripped up the alarm. Tory was finally able to crack the thermal system only after he donned an insulated, heat-resistant fire suit.
Then, to doubly bust the myth, Tory walked through the room undetected by holding a pane of glass in front of him. Although it allows visible light to pass through, glass mostly blocks infrared. Sure enough, Tory's infrared energy — and the thermal camera myth — was no match for the thick glass shield.

i.e. how soap works;
You need to use soap to kill the germs.
Well technically you are incorrect sir.
Soap doesn’t kill germs; even anti-bacterial soap is ineffective and creates stronger bacteria. Soap is a lipid with a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. The head attaches the dirt and other non-water-soluble stuff i.e. grease, oil and fat and the tail attaches to the water which pulls it away and off of whatever you may be washing/cleaning.

Char that is pure unadulterated evil and extremely intelligent. Most folks have some sort of moral compass, morals, and conscience which keeps them in check. When you have none of these inhibitions, and none of societal or cultural values/mores are adhered to and even mocked as weakness, whole different level is reached.
Enjoys conducting vivisections as a hobby.
Evil is a made-up concept to dehumanize people, but most people who do terrible acts either believe what they are doing is right or they've been horribly damaged in some way.
Personally I think making a character believe what they are doing is right when it's deplorable to the reader makes for a compelling character, so ask yourself "how can I make my main character relatable but still dislike them"

Don’t try to convince, just state the arguments on each side as best you can based on research and each side’s main talking points.
Create story with characters articulating moral arguments; basically arguing with myself in the form of characters as to the pros and cons of certain things. Like for instance race…living together…homogenization of the races versus globalism versus wanting to take care of our own. Have characters discuss these concepts in detail, from several points of view, stating clearly the arguments on each side,

There have already surveilled the home? They knock on the door to check occupancy with an excuse ready should someone answer, like verifying the job or something. They break through the best spot, expertly search the house and put the goods in lawn bags to take out the half trailer half filled with other bags, many containing actual beaves and grass for cover. They wear do rags, hats and shirts covering their face with sunglasses to cover for any cameras. They kill power at the main breaker and cut any cable and phone lines just before entering. They still have to be wary of battery powered surveillance and wireless comm for alerts/alarms so they are always out of there in 3 minutes while monitoring the police band for any dispatches.

Quantum Immortality
Ever wanted to be immortal? There is a tiny, incredibly small chance you may very well be immortal if the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct.
Quantum Immortality is a fun thought experiment which, according to the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, alleges we are immortal (at least on the quantum level). Imagine you were convicted of murder and on death row. The day of your execution arrives and you are now lying on a table waiting for your lethal injection which should come within minutes. However, MWI postulates that if there’s a chance, however small, that something happens which causes you to survive the situation — like the machine malfunctioning or an earthquake occurring which stops the procedure, that it will happen, and you will continue to live on. Reality will keep branching off, causing whatever kills you to fail, keeping you and your consciousness alive in a new branch of reality. In all the other realities you will pass on and die, and the people in those realities will experience your death, but your consciousness moves to the branch in which you somehow live.

Prot’s advice on talking to woman. (applies to anything new, exciting and scary)
All it takes is 20 seconds of courage.
By using 20 seconds to do something you normally would have avoided, or saying YES when you normally say NO, three amazing things happen:
1. If it doesn’t work out, you become more resilient. You quickly learn the world didn’t end, and you are more likely to try new things in the future because failure wasn’t that bad!
2. If it DOES work out, your life is now better as a result of your targeted bravery. A relationship, a new job, a new hobby, lifelong friend, are often results of a single decision made by somebody. This is you taking action rather than waiting for fate to intervene.
3. You NEVER have to wonder “what if?” when thinking about what could have been had you done that thing!

“This problem is a Gordian Knot.”
According to legend, the Phrygians, who lived in what is now central Turkey, were told by an oracle to make king the first man to ride into town in an oxcart. As luck would have it, this man was Gordius, a poor peasant. After his coronation, Gordius dedicated his cart to the god Zeus and tied it to a pole outside the temple. The knot was made of cornel bark, which hardened over time. It was said that whoever untied this intricate knot would conquer all of Asia.
Alexander could not pass up such an opportunity, but there were no ends to the knot for him to even get started. In frustration, he sliced it in half with his sword, proclaiming, "I have loosed it!" The Gordian Knot has since become synonymous with an intractable problem that requires an unconventional solution.

College guys form lifelong bond and a criminal enterprise network which expands as they each begin their various professions like politics, tech, legal, finance, education, etc. Each building their own cells and areas of specialization (assassin, procurement, etc.) which rely and utilize the other ones for sales, protection, cover, enforcement, legal, etc. Activities compartmentalized by anonymous cells. Only the original group knows the complete picture. They each take a year of leadership at a time.
The guy who started the group in college is actually an agent which is not disclosed for a while. Leave some tidbits alluding to this as the story progresses, for astute readers to notice.

How do you make an armored car disappear?
Heavy duty chopper? Too easy to track.
Get inside the truck.
Remotely kill the engine.
Get some kind of knockout gas into the vehicle.
Armored truck robberies are notoriously hard to pull off. Usually, they happen during the day in a public place. In most cases, a team of professionals must do the heist because the money transport personnel are trained to specifically stop robberies. Due to the difficulty of even committing the robbery and since there are so many people involved with a crime, very few go unsolved.

WSHTF Scenario
Pirates setup roadblock on major road to stop all traffic. There HQ is located in a nearby compound. Warning sign posted ¼ mile away with three clear options:
You are currently under surveillance and in range of our snipers.
1. Turn Back Now
2. Proceed slowly with implied consent to search and road tax
3. Die.
Guard posts hidden in Railroad trestles
The road follows a railroad trach that has trestles that rise above dry creek beds every few hundred feet. The side facing the roads have been filled in with debris obscuring the opening. Semi-automatic weapons post are concealed inside. There is an advanced lookout posted in a high altitude location which watched for approaching vehicles and warns the ‘soldiers’ to proceed and man their positions as sniper, manning the gate or hidden attack squads.
If a vehicle advances, they are questioned and based on their responses are taxed and allowed to pass, given one more chance to turn around and leave or if they are wise asses….the men die and the women move to the harem.
When they fire on a vehicle, they loot everything, people and belonging. They learned early to knock teeth out of the women before to ensure no biting and the extra warmth and lube from the blood and snot makes for amazing blow jobs.

In the afterlife, the ones that have the most power(s) are the ones that took the most mammal lives during their life time. Each life personally extinguished by them adds to their life power in the afterlife. It turns out the most powerful are the cattle slaughters because if the sheer amount of lives taken. The pig farmers are also very high on the list. Chicken farmers missed out because birds aren’t mammals. Soldiers, bomber pilots, mass murderers also have a high social status.

What to write?
Fiction is a great way to explore the snarliest, gnarliest depths of That Which Troubles You, just as it's a great place to explore the heights of That Which Geeks Your Ass Out.
And fiction is best, for me, when it's combining those things.
If it's just troubling stuff, it ends up dour, dire, not much fun.
If it's just the geekery nerdery excitement, then it's light, or twee, or conflict-free.
The first is too deep, too dark.
The latter too shallow, too bright.
For me, it's the perfect combination to find the next damn thing to write.

The Ladybug Killer
A homicide investigator on an apparently random serial killer notices a small round flat rock hand painted like a ladybug next to the front mailbox. He had seen that somewhere before. He reviewed pictures of the other victims’ houses and also found lady bird rocks next to the front mailboxes. This detail was only released to a select few to help with the investigation as well as to not sensationalize it with the press.
The detail eventually gets out. Are there copycat lady bugs?

You just never know when a good deed will go wrong….
Character labors over some small object/thing that takes him a long time to build and figure out. He is very happy and proud of himself. His friend sees how much he likes this thing so out of kindness finds some more of them very inexpensively somewhere, buys him some and gives it to him. The new things are actually much better than the one he built and they cost a few dollars for something he spent hours or even days on. So now he feels somewhat diminished and not only not proud of his accomplishment anymore but feels stupid and embarrassed for it taking him so long when he could have just bought it. He goes from feeling happy and proud to feeling stupid and embarrassed. All from a good deed!
Draw a many colored jacket analogy. Something he is so proud of gets laughed at by others. Which hurts his spirit and willingness to try new things for fear of being laughed at and not fitting in. One more step to becoming a cog.
Societal conditioning works to suppress the human spirit.

Genetic Noah’s ark. In the future you can access the genomes of all living creatures stored in the database and can create, mix and match species at will. This results in every type of organism that you can or can’t imagine. People custom make pets, food, etc. Doing this with humans is highly illegal but the software is open source and soldiers, warrior and sex slaves are created in abundance.
They still need to be taught. Any direct knowledge transfer methods have not been developed, so usually a brief conversation can determine if the humanoid is real or a clone. However with enough time and effort, clones can be taught and educated to be almost undetectable.

Young guy has been separated from his Dad while growing up. He joins the military, gets out a bad ass and finds his Dad who is head of a low profile white sup/nationalist organization. After back and forth, son wants to join, Dad says no. Son says he is gonna be a criminal anyway with him or without him. Are you abandoning me again? After a lot of thought, Dad has a plan. Very few know about his son. He tells son his plan. He likes it. Son applies and joins the police department. His Dad feeds him info on crimes so son becomes a star cop, moving up the ladder. The Dad continues to feed him info on rivals as well as random drug transactions, robberies, etc. Eventually the son can pick his assignment. He goes undercover as a biker….into the same gang his father runs. Nobody knows of the relationship…yet. The son starts moving up in the gang without help from his Dad, the gang leader. The son tries to turn a couple members into informants. One agrees. One tells his Dad. The one who tells his Dad is determined trustworthy enough to bring him in on the operation. The other one disappears.
Son ended up busting the gang wide open. The Dad of course is always one step ahead, no admittable evidence is turned in by the son and the Dad disappears (with millions) right before the mass arrest warrants are issued.
Son wraps up the investigation as another win. Dad retires with a nice nest egg waiting for the son.

Prot learns about survivalist communities by posing as interested high net worth individual that wanted to “buy” a couple slots in their compounds for WTSHTF. The ones that would talk to him (some) and the ones who allowed it (much less) he visited, asked detailed questions and surveyed their compounds, stockpiles and defenses, afterwards documenting them all with strengths/weaknesses and went on with life. Whenever the electricity went out for more than a couple weeks he knew what would happen and was gonna be ready. He had weapons, ammo and a close group of trusted friends (the gang mentioned in the above plot line without the racial overtones?) he trained with every month. Those weekends involved training and planning. If the shit came down, they were going to take what they needed to survive for themselves and their families. They didn’t have the means to but a fortified compound but they certainly had the means to attack them and take what they needed. Including the compounds themselves. WTSHTF, they did just that. Starting with one, building stronger and when the time was right took the next compound for their growing army.. They then took an entire small mountain town (prot loves the library as without electricity, books contain the knowledge they need to rebuild) close to natural resources, fortified it stringer, developed raiding parties and built their own fiefdom.
Until the real army arrived….

Research and apply Mongol and Genghis Khan history to a story
That the Mongolian civilization in the 13th century, armed only with horses, arrows, and steel, managed to sweep through and completely conquer the vast majority of the entire Eurasian landmass in only about 10 years, forming the largest contiguous land empire in history. There were over 12 million casualties, a record only surpassed 700 years later in World War II.
His empire lasted a century and a half and eventually covered nearly a quarter of the earth's surface. His murderous Mongol armies were responsible for the massacre of as many as 40 million people. Even today, his name remains a byword for brutality and terror.
Mongols actually had the best military technology of the time
Their horse archers were trained to release the arrow at the precise moment all four legs of the horse were off the ground as it greatly improved their accuracy
they could fire an arrow every six heart beats

Hitchens’s razor is “What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”
Hitchens's razor is an epistemological razor asserting that the burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim, and if this burden is not met, the claim is unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it.
Hitchens's razor is actually an English translation of the Latin proverb quod grātīs asseritur, grātīs negātur ("What is freely asserted is freely dismissed"), which was commonly used in the 19th century

War is a double edged sword.
It is directly responsible for the United States economic and technological growth.
In general, wars tend to accelerate technological development to adapt tools for the purpose of solving specific military needs. Later, these military tools may evolve into non-military devices.

Automatic Defense of compound or area in layers using heat, sound, lasers and RF to mitigate enemies from penetrating an area:
Pain Rays
Also known as the Active Denial System or even a ‘heat ray’, this weapon would look right at home in any super villain’s dark lair. It uses a powerful radiation beam that, once in contact with human skin, heats the water molecules within the skin. It heats up so much that it causes burns from 500 yards away.
The beam is invisible to the human eye as well, which only makes it seem even more like a cartoon villain’s weapon.
The Active Denial System is best used as a crowd control weapon, helping to break up big groups of opponents.
Disorientating Rifles
These rifles are at all like your tried-and-true Spikes Tactical rifle. They’re not even equipped with any ammunition. Instead, this weapon is a non-lethal way to disorient opponents and keep them out of the fight.
It’s known as a PHASR rifle, which stands for Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response. This weapon comes with powerful laser beams that alternate in their wavelengths. When an opponent looks at that laser, it disorients them and makes it hard for them to stand upright.
It’s not strong enough to do any lasting damage upon anyone who looks at it, but it does give a lot of aid in a fight.
Vomit Guns
Fighting against enemies is already a cause for nausea and stress. But with this weapon, that idea goes to a whole new level.
Using radio frequencies, this weapon disables an enemy by affecting their sense of direction and balance. As soon as they’re affected by this gun, they vomit without warning due to uncontrollable motion sickness. It does no lasting damage to the person effected but it’s great for helping lessen incoming fire.
It’s pretty similar in function to another gun that uses lights rather than radio waves.
The LED Incapacitator
shoots off a barrage of multicolored lights in quick succession. Anyone who sees this display of lights gets an instant headache and motion sickness, which leads to vomiting.
Lightning Lasers
This accurate weapon almost seems to work magic, straight out of a storybook. It’s the perfect bizarre weapon for anyone who ever wished to wield lightning.
By using a thin laser beam, lightning shoots through the beam, aiming to kill its intended target. The super high energy beam is thin and accurate, ensuring that there are no mistakes when used.
It looks as impressive as it sounds, with a very intense display that you’d have a hard time forgetting.
