Online Group Discussion and AMA Bookchat Today: One Ring to Rule Them All

A reminder, there is an AMA Bookchat today on the blog's Discord group (https://discord.com/invite/Zy9XVad). This is a weekly text chat in which I talk with readers about technology's legacy in the early 21st century, in the form of red-pilled history. My definition of red-pilling is here. The bookchat is part of my work while I write my book-in-progress, Inside the Potemkin Village.

This week's newsletter is here. Everyone is invited to join the discussion. Friday, 31 July 2020. 6-9 pm Eastern (10 pm-1 am UTC).

Theme: Banks Enter the Crypto Space

• Will the mainstream financial system consume the cryptospace, or will cryptos remain independent? Who will profit?

Go to the room marked hashtag #bookchat. The blog's Discord was established as a free, mutually-supporting community.

A Camera's View of History

I Found The Abandoned Sleepy Hollow Millionaires Mansion - (EVERYTHING LEFT EVEN HUMAN ASHES) (22 October 2019). Video Source: Youtube.

It's just close enough to be recognizable, and just far away enough to be in the past. This British urbex find, probably in Kent, included three sets of human ashes. Two urns remained at the kitchen table, as though the ladies of the house were having a ghostly breakfast. One urn with ashes of a male resident, possibly a surgeon, was left on a mantlepiec. The earliest artefacts dated from around 1900 to 1910, with the last resident abiding there until around 2005. It is another testament to the wreckage of the 20th century.

You can't take it with you, and when you don't, a futuristic explorer with a camera's view of history could rifle through your things for a global audience.
