A Frightening Possibility!!!

Here is a post from Forgottenman that I hope you’ll read. It actually deals with a blog my friend Jere sent to me that I wanted to post but wanted him to check it out first.  Here is his reaction and hopefully you’ll give us yours as well.:

Mike Brock’s “Notes From The Circus” Blog

This isn’t my usual type of post¹, and it’s hard to find the “Start” button, so I’ll plunge right in.

A couple of weeks ago, I somehow stumbled onto Mike Brock’s Notes From The Circus blog. I was not familiar with him, and I tried to read some of it, but I got bogged down in some of his philosophy-speak² – those shorthand references to concepts that (I imagine) more easily dwell in late-night sessions of a gaggle of students, scholars, philosophers huddled in the back conference room of the campus library. I bookmarked his blog to check out further another day. Today is that day.

Why today? Because that’s when Judy/Remi/LifeLessons sent me a note asking “What do you make of this??? Should I post it?” The link was to a recent post on Mike Brock’s blog! (I had not mentioned him to her previously! Yeah, even with 1400 miles between us, she and I are somehow still joined.)

(For the rest of his post and a link to Mike Brock’s frightening appraisal of current events, go here: https://okcforgottenman.wordpress.com/2025/03/09/mike-brocks-notes-from-the-circus-blog/
