About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Flying Taxis?

Do I have great news for all of you
Geeks
out there in the world.
I am sorry to say we will not be getting jet-packs anytime soon,
but we will be getting the best next thing.
I think?
As any
Geek
knows,
anyone with enough knowledge of algorithms,
encryption,
and computer coding can hack any computer system created.
Given enough time.
That is why we have companies out there solely set up to find vulnerabilities in our
Government
and
Top Corporations.
In my story
I give a link so anyone can sign up
and try to find those vulnerabilities in the above mentioned entities.
You can make as much as
$20,000
for doing so.
Microsoft alone has paid up to
$100,000
dollars in one case.
You know I am against
Autonomous Cars.
I have written a few
Posts
on the subject,
but two come to mind right off the bat.
and
This is the good news.
Geeks,
we will have
A
German Company
called
Lilium
says by
2019
they will be testing a manned flight
and be commercially ready by
2025!
German company Lilium has taken another step forward to create its five-seat, all-electric taxi known as the Lilium Jet. “This is the next stage in our rapid evolution from an idea to the production of a commercially successful aircraft that will revolutionize the way we travel in and around the world’s cities,” said Lilium CEO and co-founder Daniel Wiegand. In April, 2017 Lilium’s prototype two-seater vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) successfully completed its first remote controlled test flight. The company expects to have its first manned flight in 2019, and to have a series of commercialized aircraft by 2025 — they would provide a similar service as Lyft and Uber, though you would reserve a jet ahead of time before going to one of the nearby landing pads. The finalized Lilium Jet will be able to travel 300 km/hour (186 miles/hour) on one charge. Aside from being emission-free, reducing traffic and cutting down travel time, Lilium believes its aircraft will positively impact the housing market — since living close to work would no longer be important, apartments would become more affordable.

You be the judge.
Here is my idea of what will happen.
Out on the
105 Freeway
coming from
LAX,
a hacker will tell all the 
Autonomous Cars
to suddenly veer right
while telling the
Autonomous Flying Taxis
to crash land on top of all the crushed cars!



This is,
I No Longer Hack
But I still Know What Can Be Done

 That is my story and I am sticking to it!
