Open Thread - 08-21-26 - The Future Will Not Belong to Us

The past is being rewritten. The present is being manipulated. The future will not belong to us.

Some day search engines will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day books will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day wisdom will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

Some day history will disappear.

Then there'll only be AI.

And humanity will forget what it has lost.

Videotaped at the 3rd Annual Symposium on the American Indian, May 1 and 2, 1975, Northeastern Oklahoma State University.

Save your books, the future will need the truth.

Open Thread - 20 August 2026 - English, Then and Now

English, Then and Now
I happened across a really interesting video on youtube the other day and I want to share it, of course Smile . This is a young man, from England, presenting a monologue in English ranging from the language spoken in 450AD or so, to that spoken in modern northeastern America. It is very cool! It's interesting how the farm animal names haven't changed so much over time, how much, unsurprisingly, English sounds like German, Danish, etc, throughout much of time, and so much more! The rabbit hole beckons! Smile Smile
