JD'S Memes

A couple, the woman in modest attire and her husband in a simple suit, arrived unannounced at Harvard University's principal office after disembarking from a train at Boston Station. The receptionist, judging them hastily, initially dismissed their purpose.

"We would like to meet with the principal," the man requested quietly.

"He's occupied all day," the secretary curtly replied.

"We'll wait," the woman asserted.

Hours passed with the couple patiently seated, prompting the secretary to reluctantly inform the director of their persistence.

"Perhaps if you meet with them briefly, they'll leave on their own," she suggested.

Grudgingly, the director acquiesced. Upon their entrance, he scrutinized them with a stern gaze. The woman spoke softly:

"Our son studied here and cherished this place. Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly a year ago. We wish to establish a memorial in his honor."

The director, visibly annoyed, retorted, "We can't erect memorials for every student who dies. It would turn this place into a cemetery."

"No, not a memorial or statue," the woman interjected hastily. "We wish to build a new building for Harvard."

The director scoffed, noting their modest attire, "Do you have any idea how much that would cost? Our buildings are valued at over seven million dollars."

The woman paused briefly before calmly saying to her husband, "Is building a university that inexpensive? Perhaps we should start our own."

With a nod of agreement, they left without further discussion. The director was left bewildered as the couple departed.

In Palo Alto, California, they indeed founded a university in memory of their son – Stanford University.

The CrowdStrike IT outage is a good reminder that if you don't have a disaster recovery (DR) plan in place, there will be consequences as we saw it so far. Now, there will be many meetings and discussions about the need for DR, but by the end of the year, it will likely be forgotten amidst the usual job cuts, new priorities, and questions about IT budgets. This cycle will continue until another IT outage strikes.

 
SUMERIANS WERE NOT THE FIRST

...

Until about 20 years ago, it was believed that "civilization" originated with the Sumerians about 7000 years ago. Then Göbekli Tepe and nearby settlements were discovered on the border between Syria and Turkey. Everything has changed since then.

...

The oldest remains of Göbekli Tepe date back at least 12,000 years ago. But some of the monoliths found in the ruins show people dressed only in a perizome. However, 12,000 years ago we were in the middle of the Younger Dryas (a mini ice age). Therefore, it is impossible for people to be walking around wearing only perizomes. To be able to walk around dressed like this, the temperatures had to be mild. But the last "mild" period before the Young Dryas ended around 110,000 B.C., when the last ice age began. It is true that there could have been more milder local climates. The fact remains is that this is the only sculpture dating back over 12,000 years ago depicting human beings in perizomes. Therefore, at least some parts of Göbekli Tepe could date back before the Younger Dryas.

...

In Göbekli Tepe ideographs have been engraved, that is sculptures that represent neither animals nor things, but abstract concepts. They may be the oldest example of human writing, at least 5,000 years older than Sumerian writing. The buildings in Göbekli Tepe are not made of wood or straw, but limestone. Some pillars weigh almost 20 tons. The inhabitants of Göbekli Tepe were able to build houses and villages in stone thousands of years before Sumerians.

...

On a slab of stone called the 'Star of Gru', the wise men of Göbekli Tepe recount an encounter between them and 'outer beings' that came from the sky when a comet crossed the sky. Also, the engraved narrative refers to a period when, approximately 12,000 years f; a comet bombing caused tremendous destruction on Earth. This bombing was recently confirmed by astrophysicists. Around 12,000 years ago one or more comets exploded near our atmosphere, and their fragments "carpetbombed" us. But then, is the rest of the story engraved in Göbekli Tepe true?

A lot of destruction on a planetary scale around 12,000 years ago.  This time frame coincides with the disappearance of The Clovis culture in what became the southwestern United States.  One theory is a meteor strike up in Canada.
