ention, you look at advertising and then they win. But with AI, they're going to move to an intention economy, meaning they're going to figure out what it is you're likely to want, maybe before you even know it. And so they'll be looking at your intentions to give you what you want. You can say goodbye to your illusion of free will because once your AI gets good enough to know what you want and i…

ieve they found a fingerprint on Stonehenge? I'm not sure I even believe the first part of the story, but according to them, if they're right, it means that the giant stones came from a different place than they've been telling us for years. In other words, the whole Stonehenge story was kind of BS. That's what they're thinking.

But this reminded me that if you watch enough YouTube stories about ancient civilizations, which I do, did you know that all over the world there were civilizations that could move gigantic rocks? So there are pyramids pretty much all over the world. You've got them in Asia and Central America and South America and you've got them in the Middle East. So apparently there were all these different civilizations who could move gigantic rocks and none of them remember how to do it. None of them.

So the only way I can explain that is that they never knew in the first place. Because nobody drew a picture of it. You know, even if they didn't have written language, somebody would have made a picture, right, and carved it on a cave wall or something. But no, all these civilizations were able to move gigantic rocks somehow without being connected to each other. Did they individually figure out how to do it? So individually all these primitive civilizations figured out how to move gigantic rocks, but then our modern civilization doesn't know how to do it. How is that possible?

The only explanation I can come up with is that there used to be some kind of advanced civilization that didn't survive. Unless those are the aliens and they're under the ocean hiding from us maybe. But I'm definitely down for the idea that there must have been an ancient advanced civilization that affected all of those different cultures and somehow helped them move big rocks but never taught them how. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Trump is causing more trouble. Gateway Pundit is reporting that he mentioned that we should jail the autopen guy, whoever it was w

Context —

ho was making the autopen sign things for Biden. Now that might be a little extreme, but here's what Trump said. He goes, "Also, why did the autopen give Schiff a pardon? Biden knew nothing about it. Who operated the autopen? That is the biggest question being asked in DC." Is it? I don't know. "They almost destroyed our country. They should all be in jail," Trump said on Truth Social. Now, how…
