LOCUS DEMENTIA

You asked why I don't like to invest money into 401K and IRA funds. Well, I do. The problem with a 401K is in the government management and oversight. The small business I own is designed for heavy weight at the top of the salary scale as it's a Subchapter S corporation. That means all of the profit passes through to the principal shareholder at the end of the fiscal year. That pushes my income to very high levels sometimes, much higher than the employees.

Our soft bodies are cushions for the hard endoskeleton that keeps our body able to be rigid. We have control circuitry distributed throughout our bodies with a central computer. That central computer is controlled by an expert system that knows how to integrate signals and train several connected neural networks. We are the greatest robot ever built because we are self-locomotive. We create our own energy, don't need to get an external battery to replace old ones. Our computer is capable of work using single electrons and their quantum spin. Our ligature learns how to adapt to its environment, like those incredible Boston Dynamics [1] robots. We are the gr...
