       Unfortunate that you think so. I can only offer that if Hawking
       could continue to do what he did in his condition, you are in
       far better shape, and while not a Hawking, there must be a
       significant arena you can contribute to.

       Of course. And RE has his state sponsored helper show up at
       semi-regular intervals.

       I only watched the first half.  The pyramid is mentioned.  Both
       women have a strong socialist bent and are familiar to me.  One
       thing the YouTube algorithm is good at is pairing up people you
       have seen before.  I have seen both these women in videos, but
       not together.
       It is a good watch.
       Maslow's pyramid itself is valid, as is the comment that America
       ignores it and turns it on its head.

       * The video ends saying that fascism is the glue that keeps
       capitalism from falling apart.
       The part about glue I added myself.  So I guess I just authored
       a quote.  I am going to put it on my website.

       Steven Hawking was a hoaxter. I wrote the damn information sheet
       on Motor Neurone Disease for the Neurological Centre in the 90s
       and saw the sufferers. They were all deteriorating and dying.
       When was Hawking first famous, 80s  or 90s? It doesn't matter,
       he died only a few years ago and whether he claimed to have had
       20, 25, or 30 years with MND its bullshit. Just 15 would be
       extremely lucky. Whatever condition he had was not MND, because
       nobody survives that long.

       Not a big Hawking fan myself.  Never could figure out what he
       did that qualified him as a Genius. He didn't invent the light
       bulb, radio, car, airplane, atomic bomb or computer.  To me, he
       always seemed like a Jerry Lewis Poster Child for MD, just
       older.
       Not sure how Maslow applies to me either.  Basic Needs are
       currently covered at the bottom and at the top I have been
       actualizing myself since I was about 5, give or take a year.
       What is Safety?  I wasn't very safe driving my motorcycle in NYC
       traffic between the lanes or skiing double diamond trails and
       missing the trail markers and going straight off a cliff. lol.
       Love has dropped in and out of my life periodically, now it is
       out and I don't expect a return visit.  My self-esteem is very
       high, there is nobody I respect more than me. lol
       What am I supposed to learn from this?

       As I wrote in my Thanksgiving post, one of my main issues is
       extreme boredom.  What to DO each day?  It\s even hard to find
       things for my PCAs to do for me.  Mainly, I have used the time
       to teach them to play Chess (recorded as "social time" on the
       paperwork) or go shopping for food, preparing food, or trips to
       some medical facility, or personal hygiene essentials, etc.  But
       there are still other important things I need to do to PLAN for
       the future!
       I have written also about my unpleasant time spent in 2 Assisted
       Care/Skilled Nursing facilities, but this is only a small slice
       of what is out there.  Without a larger sampling, I can't make a
       good evaluation of the whole industry.  It is likely at some
       point I will have to return to living in such an environment, so
       the time is NOW to start checking out these places!  :)
       So, beginning next week I am going to start making appointments
       at Gulags for Cripples and Old Folks all around the Mat Valley,
       and perhaps even down to Anchorage and hopefully evaluate them
       on their cuisine, staffing, atmosphere, resident demographics,
       costs, etc. Hopefully I will be able to do interviews with
       Residents, Staff, Managers and Owners of these places.
       If this is successful in terms of gathering information, I will
       write a book about it.  This has not really been done yet, far
       as my Googling has turned up so far.
       So now I have a purpose for tomorrow, other than planning my
       next trip to the toilet.  :)

       That's an excellent project and might even lead to some places
       lifting their game.
       This is the defining trait a doomer, gathering information ahead
       of time to make the most informed choices for successful future
       outcomes. Normalcy bias wishful thinkers wait for problems to
       arrive to try and deal with it too late. They would dismiss your
       reporting on hearing of bedsores as doomporn, because the
       brochure is all thumbs up and smiles.

       🏥 RE falls off the cliff

       Date: December 27, 2021, 3:44 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       My worst week since moving out of the Gulag.
       First, my latest weekday PCA quit on Tuesday.  She had a high
       SUV I couldn't get into which is a big part of the job for me,
       going to appointments, doing errands and shopping.  The biz
       owner did not schedule a new one.
       On Thu, my smartphone screen died.  Couldn't call out, couldn't
       receive calls.  Not even 911 if I had a problem, which
       fortunately I did not.  No internet, since that is my
       connection.  Off the cliff.
       Finally today my weekend PCA showed up, and the main errand that
       needed to be run was over to ATT to get a new phone.
       Transfering from the car to my wheelchair my foot slipped out
       from under me on the ice, landing hard on my tailbone.  It's
       severely bruised, hopefully not fractured.  Did not go for an
       xray, since you can't cast a tailbone anyhow.
       My PCA got someone to help her lift me back into the chair, and
       we completed the phone purchase, which is why I am back on
       today.
       From there we went to 3 Bears, and I successfully transferred to
       the cripple cart, but as I drove into 3 Bears, I felt dizzy and
       then apparently lost consciousness for about a minute. 911 was
       called, and the EMTs gave me an EKG.  It showed Atrial
       Fibrillation, which doutless was why I passed out.  No doubt
       also caused by the fall that had occurred an hour earlier.  I
       was strongly advised to go to hospital, but refused.  I felt
       better, and did not feel like spending the rest of the day in
       the ER.
       I did promise to make an appt with the Cardiologist tomorrow.
       It will be interesting to see how quickly they get me in.
       Usually it's around a month wait.
       Heading into 2022 with a bang.

       Rotten luck to fall in the snow just before getting a phone to
       take a selfie. At least u didn't fall off or crash the cripple
       cart while passed out. Tis the season

       Apparently while unconscious I crashed into one of the checkout
       register conveyors, and somebody caught me before I fell off the
       seat.
       Newz for today is I have a Cardiologist appt for Jan 13, except
       the doc is currently stuck down in the lower 48 due to flight
       cancellations.
       Still no PCA, and I cancelled my PT appt for tomorrow, and
       suspended any further appts unti I get a PCA and my tailbone is
       sufficiently recovered I might actually be able to try working
       with the fake leg again.  I will need a new referral and go to
       the back of the queue, so it will be a few months (if ever)
       before that can be resumed.
       As dying scenarios go, this one is really good.  Zero pain, very
       fast.  Had I not regained consciousness, I never would have
       known I was dead.  lol.
