Reading an article about Quantum Computers.

Sorry can't explain the process. The system relies on something called qubits.

Apparently, these computers have almost unimagined power and speed.

It reminds of joke I heard decades ago. Computer scientists had finally hooked together all the most powerful computers in the world. Finally, these scientists were standing before a screen with a blinking cursor.

What scientist finally says, "what should we ask it?"

One scientist says, "I know, he turns to the monitor and types in the question, "Is there a God?"

The cursor blinks for a second, and replies, "there is now."

Word I stumbled on today. Explains much.

Anocracy--a societal place between democracy and autocracy where there are limited freedoms and voting rights, and people are lulled into complacency, while their important rights (voting, health care, etc) are being stolen from under them, most blatantly, right in their faces.

All this moves society to autocracy.

About where we are as far I can see.

Not that kind. The old person kind when if you blow on your skin you rip it like falling into a span of razor wire.
