I appear to be in a minority of folks I run into (work, radio, online, etc.) who has more doubts than enthusiasm about AI. But, then, I almost always am. ("Pandemic? There's not going to be a pandemic, you're paranoid... Red Flag warning and wildfires? Why do you worry about that stuff?... Climate change? Why are you worried about that?) #nonconformist

Be non-conformist, they will never love you anyway

Any #publisher out there interested in the #nonfiction #biography of a #library and the #Nonconformist family of authors which assembled it over 300 years? #history of #education , #britishempire and #society, and a strained #father-#son relationship: "In my Father's Good Books." (Pictured, the Annotated Paragraph Bible, 1861, of which my Great Great Grandfather was the principal editor. Paras and notes, his innovations, make the Bible easier to read and understand .)

The old chapel, Byfleets Lane, #Warnham, West Sussex was built by a sect called the Society of Dependents or #Cokelers in 1874 and continued in use until about 1976. It is now a private house. The small denomination was started in #Loxwood in 1861 and subsequently spread to a number of villages in West Sussex and Surrey. #NonConformist

I'm honoring my sentient bird friends today instead of eating them...like these playful starlings enjoying a quick bath in a puddle!

Here are some non-conformist thoughts today...

You don't have to eat turkey today; you can avoid all animal products.

You don't have to be a glutton today.

You can share your excesses with the poor.

You can elect to be kind and respectful to everyone.

Peace ✌️

There are many clichés about #Japan. Most focus on a disciplined populace into delivering reliable, high-quality work to the point of self-destruction (with Japanese being the only language that has an own word for "death by overwork").

But even Japan knows groups that are #nonconformist, rowdy and sometimes even violent. In some cases it's a thing of the past, as with the motorcycle gangs known as #Bosozuku. Great documentary from @Vice #Asia. https://youtu.be/n8ptBkIohHE

Whoso would be a man, must be a #nonconformist
