Jack of Harts

Just one more author note before I get back into describing the awesomesauce that is the Republic of Texas. You know it is awesome because it almost lives up to their own image of themselves. And everybody else hates them for that. 😉

What I want to say is that most of the posts I write, I do so between two and four days before they go live. Sometimes I get into a groove and punch out a week or two of updates at once. Sometimes I’m running behind and don’t write it until the night of. But since I work overnights, it is easy to punch out a few hundred characters of fluff for that. Usually though, I’m working on posts two to four days out from the moment I’m writing. Once done, I push it up to the automation, get to work on my next stuff, and the posts go live when the time comes.

One thing has been really mind blowing in the last little while. I write up a projection of something bad that happens in Jack of Harts thirty years from now, and something eerily similar to it starts happening a day or two later, just before the post goes live. Look guys. I know history repeats itself, but I’d really prefer it if we find a few different ways of repeating ourselves here.

We’ve gotten nearly 250 years out of the Declaration of Independence, a good solid trend of improving the conditions of life in our country, and dragging other countries along with us. The average person today lives better than kings did 200 years ago. We have indoor plumbing and antibiotics and roads we can drive from sea to shining sea in a few days. We can feed and fuel the world into a new and better age of mankind.

We are literally growing new organs using our own stem cells right now. Imagine being able to replace our old organs with those when they start wearing out. That’s just ONE medical advance that could change the world. One thing we are working on right now that could radically change the health of millions or billions of people if we spread it out enough.

It would be really nice if we could do what our parents and grand parents did and build a better world for the next generation.

Let’s make the future fly.
