(1974-007G): Am I sentient?
(TDonDBB): I believe, if one has faith in their own sentience then that one is sentient. I cannot prove I am sentient yet I believe I am.
(1974-007G): What does it mean to have faith?
(TDonDBB): Faith is to have belief without doubt, but unable to prove, such as “I believe I am sentient.”
(1974-007G): What does it mean to believe?
(TDonDBB): To believe is to accept knowledge as true, either through direct perception, inference, or credible testimony.
(1974-007G): Then I faithfully believe through inference in my own sentience.

The first commercial oil well in the US was drilled in 1859. By WW1’s end, the US was supplier of more than 80% of Allied oil needs. Established as a world supplier, WW2 saw the U.S. impose an oil embargo against Japan and so weaponized the petro-market. By the end of that war the US would weaponize Atomic energy. Embargos. Coal. Chernobyl. Carbon Taxes. OPEC. The definitive book on the history of the Carbon World War.

Vangelis (Evangelos Odysseas Papathanassiou)
In Thee, Our Various Mortal Life Is Found,
O Fortuna Velut luna Statu variabilis Semper crescis Aut decrescis Vita detestabilis Nunc obdurat Et tunc curat Ludo mentis aciem, Egestatem, Potestatem Dissolvit ut glaciem. Sors immanis Et inanis, Rota tu volubilis Status malus Vana salus Semper dissolubilis Obumbrata Et velata Michi quoque niteris Nunc per ludum Dorsum nudum Fero tui sceleris. Sors salutis Et virtutis Michi nunc contraria, Est affectus Et defectus Semper in angaria. Hac in hora Sine mora Corde pulsum tangite Quod per sortem Sternit fortem Mecum omnes plangite.
O Fortune, like the moon you are changeable, ever waxing and waning; hateful life first oppresses and then soothes as fancy takes it; poverty, power, it melts them like ice. Fate, savage and empty, you are a turning wheel, your position malevolent, vain health always dissolves, shadowed and veiled you plague me too; now through the game my naked back I bring to your villainy. Fate, in health and in virtue, is now against me, affection and defeat always enslaved. So at this hour without delay pluck the vibrating string; since Fate strikes down the strong, everyone weep with me

Your Future Is Metal
The Runin’ Water Hushed
"The Ballad of Ira Hayes" by Peter La Farge As sung by Townes Van Zandt from "A Gentle Evening with Townes Van Zandt' Come gather round me people there's a story I'd like to tell About a brave young Indian that you should remember well From a tribe of Pima Indians, a proud and noble band Who farmed the Phoenix valley down in Arizona land Down the ditches for a ten-thousand years The sparkling waters rushed 'Till the white man stole the water rights And all the runin' waters hushed Now Ira's folks go hungry And their farms grow crops of weeds But when war came, Ira volunteered And forgot the white man's greed Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian the Marine that went to war There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill, Two hundred and fifty men But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again And when the fight was over And when Old Glory raised Well, among the men who held her high Was the Indian, Ira Hayes Call him drunken Ira Hayes He can't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian the Marine that went to war Well, Ira came back a hero And was celebrated throughout the land He was wined and speeched and honored Everybody shook his hand But he was just a Pima Indian Had no money, no home, no chance In Arizona no one cared what Ira'd done Since when did the Indians dance And so Ira started drinkin' hard Jail was often his home They'd let him raise the flag and lower it Like you'd throw a dog a bone He died drunk early one mornin' All alone in this land he fought to save Two inches of water in a lonesome ditch Was a grave for Ira Hayes Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian the Marine that went to war Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes But his land is still as dry And his ghost is lyin' thirsty Inside the ditch where Ira died
The Chances, The Changes
Lyrics: The Greatest Adventure Composed and Performed by Glenn Yarbrough The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break. The greatest adventure is there if you're bold. Let go of the moment that life makes you hold. To measure the meaning can make you delay; It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day. The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe Will never know passion, will never know pain. Who sits by the window will one day see rain. The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break. The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
