🧚‍♀️ TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Hi! It was a spectacular sunrise 🌄 here at the Tree House 🏡this morning, with the first light streaming in through the living room window to my left, then behind me through the sliding glass doors ⬅️🖼️➡️ at the kitchen table 𓊳 as I sip on my morning coffee☕️

I don't belong to any club, church meeting hall, or secret society. I'm a spiritual being having a human experience. If there were such a thing as secret societies, how come they're not so secret, like Area 51 and under the Pentagon, which even the president is not privy to? How about other research labs no one knows about? A change of regime ain't gonna change the fact we know what we know; that's an earthly problem that needs sortin' out. Part of the evolutionary process, and I mean a little more evolutionary in the grey matter and heart part of dem dere humons 👽🛸

G-d = Consciousness: Or as some say, the G-d Consciousness, I believe that's a good one too, and I will come back on that topic another time. There had to be consciousness. An awareness of its own existence is necessary for anything to even be conceived before its creation. Like science, I agree that life didn't happen by chance. Life is too complex to be a matter of chance. God doesn't play dice with the universe, as Einstein said. Before Creation? There was infinity; 'define infinity.'

Question: Infinity

🔹AI Overview

Infinity is a mathematical and philosophical concept that describes something endless, limitless, or without any bounds.

In the beginning, there was chaos; then awareness said, "Let there be light," and order emerged from the chaos. No matter how far one digs into this field of study, as Einstein called it, the SPIOZA.

Putting science, spirituality, and nature as one.

Academically, this is my personal way to describe G-d. I see G-d as a hologram, and everything that makes up G-d or the Universe. Life on this one planet is like a tiny dust mote in a beam of a multitude of suns' rays in space, or just a pixel in the picture that makes up the entire universe.

The main philosophy of Baruch Spinoza is a radical form of pantheism and monism, which asserts that God and Nature are one single, infinite substance.

TODAYS DISCUSSION:

QUESTION ABOUT LIFE

Question: Science describing life by chance or planned?

🔹AI Overview

Modern science describes life as arising and evolving neither purely by blind chance nor by a predetermined plan, but rather through a combination of natural laws and randomness.

Can nature evolve? It would have to follow natural laws already set for the evolutionary process, wouldn't it? Nature's first law is self-preservation, 'Ins. which goes all the way down to the genetic level, meaning that every living thing has a basic, natural instinct to protect its own life and survive above all else.'

Nature's first law of self-preservation, to me, is that of adapting and evolving is the natural law for all living things, no matter where in the universe.

Because science relies entirely on measurable, empirical evidence, it cannot test for or prove a supernatural "plan" or an intentional creator. Instead, the scientific consensus explains the complexity of life using a third category: self-organizing mechanisms driven by physical laws...

I can see that someday science, spirituality, and nature will come closer together. The light will fuse into a more detailed image of a larger section of what makes up true reality🌌

Iran-backed Houthis capture key island in vital waterway

Iran-backed rebels in Yemen captured the strategic Perim Island in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait on Friday, two Yemeni government sources told CNN, potentially expanding Tehran’s influence over another key global shipping route.

The 4 lessons America has unlearned from 9/11

The U.S. launched wars and major reforms in the wake of the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Twenty-five years later, the country has already walked away from many of those painful lessons.

A quarter century after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people on American soil, the United States is quietly scaling back and redirecting parts of the system it developed in response — unlearning key lessons from the assault and the costly response that followed.

The counterterrorism apparatus has been thinned. Alliances like NATO that proved their worth in Afghanistan have been weakened at a moment when the U.S. faces the toughest security picture since World War II. Ill-defined Middle East entanglements persist. And the intelligence architecture designed to stop the next attack is — by the assessment of people who helped build it — once again struggling to connect the dots in an evolving threat picture.

None of that was inevitable

The 9/11 attacks drove the largest reorganization of the federal government since the 1947 National Security Act, a two-decade global war on terror...

Don’t count out counterterrorism:
America’s alliances are not optional:

Why isn't Canada blocking the Welland Canal? Other trade war questions answered

CBC News answers your questions about export taxes, sales bans and toilet paper

Reading through the emails that readers send to CBC News, one gets the impression they don't want just "elbows up" in the Canada-U.S. trade war, but also sticks, knees, skates and whatever else might be lying around.

One of the most common questions is some variation of, "Why isn't Canada doing X?" — where X is a tactic or tariff the reader supposes will hit the U.S. where it hurts. Here's a look at some of those suggestions and what key players or observers have had to say about them.

Why doesn't Canada put export duties on energy as the cost is borne by Americans not Canadians?:
Why not ban sales of certain goods in Canada?:

How big and small grocery stores are preparing for tariffs to hit shelves

Grocery aisles will change in the coming weeks as the impacts of tariffs on some American goods take effect

Canadian grocery aisles will change in the coming weeks as the impacts of tariffs on some American goods take effect. Stores across Canada will manage tariff price increases differently, with factors like supplier contracts, wholesale capacity and consumer preferences impacting what will be stocked.

Some major retailers, like Loblaw, will denote tariffed products with a "T" sign. Others, like the Salmon Arm, B.C.-based Askews, are choosing to offer even more Canadian-made or internationally-imported alternatives to American goods.

"We're not, limited to dealing with one large wholesaler," she said.
