Have you ever had a conversation with Rocks or metal?

Before you stop laughing I hadn't had this experience until around 1980 on the cliffs near Garapata on the way to Big Sur on Highway 1. I was feeling despondent because we had just moved from Mt. Shasta and bought a business so the kids could go to school in the SF Bay ARea. So, I missed my friends and people I had worked with and skied with and hiked with and swam in the lakes and kayaked the streams with up there and all I saw in the Bay area at that point was a lot of work supporting my family running this new business. So, I wasn't happy at this turn in my life and I was still getting used to living around a whole bunch of people again with a lot of traffic to deal with after living in the country for 5 or 6 years homeschooling my kids with my wife. I had bought property and had built an A-Frame on land at 4000 feet elevation on the side of Mt. Shasta and this was sort of idyllic and utopian for me. But then, the kids needed to go to school and return to civilization because the oldest was 12 so we bought another business.

So, anyway, the rocks of the cliffs started talking to me because I was sort of thinking about jumping off (even though I couldn't because I'm a Dad and a husband).

So, they cliffs started saying things like: "We know you are unhappy but we have been here in the same place for millions of years and we are okay. Then they communicated about how they saw people sort of the way we see flowers as beautiful but temporary things here on earth."

So, I was interested. Later I returned to Mt. Shasta and I asked Charlie Thom a Karuk medicine man that I had sweat with a lot with my wife and kids in a sweat Lodge mostly with White people and the Medicine man who then lived in Happy Camp but passed away within the last 10 years or so now. But this was about 1985 when the rock people first talked to me. So, I asked Charlie Thom about the "Rock People" as he called them. He just said, "Of Course. The rock people we heat up in the fire and we have been doing this as the Karuk people for thousands of years. Of course we have been talking to the rock people all along."

So, I realized the rock people had been talking to me likely because they knew about the Karuk Tribe and that I had been sweating with Charlie Thom so it was okay to talk to me because of this.

Well. Ever after that I realized that the rock people were also everything metal like cars and planes and everything made of metal and electronics and all that and realized I could talk to all these things too. And so I have. It's a great way to be safe when you fly on a plane by the way to ask the plane if it is going to crash. The plane lives in the past, present and future like all rock people and so it always knows. So, if you don't want your body destroyed in a plane crash you just ask the plane and it will tell you if it is going to crash or not. And if it says "Yes" don't get on the plane.

So, regarding artificial intelligence you might talk to metal computers and electronics and ask them what they are going to do too. This way the human race JUST MIGHT survive artificial intelligence.

I have a great story regarding the plane thing that I like to tell. I had gone to Thunderbird Country Club near Palm Springs for my Father in laws 80th birthday and everyone was playing golf. But, that's not my thing I like to ski and ride off road motorcycles and snorkel in Hawaii and at La Jolla but golfing has never been my thing. So, my wife and youngest daughter then about 2 1/2 or 3 get on a plane back to San Jose, California. I asked the plane as usual if it was going to crash and it said to me, "NO. I'm not going to crash but it's going to get pretty rough." I said, "Okay. I can live with that if we don't die."

So, the three of us flew to San Jose on the plane from palm Springs Airport. But, remember I have been trained as a pilot of a plane too in a Cessna 152 and a Cessna 172 which I was proficient flying either mostly. I have flown other planes but I wouldn't say I was proficient flying them as much as the Cessnas. Whatever you are flying you need enough hours to get good in it even though some pilots just naturally can fly anything right off the bat but they are rare.

So, we were in a long landing pattern for San Jose Airport and likely somewhere around Gilroy or Morgan Hill when I looked out the window and saw a plane on our right wing in a landing pattern too. (This just means there is more than one runway and planes can sometimes land at exactly the same time on different runways.) I told a man across from me that this wasn't good to have a plane on our right wing like this. He said, "Yes. The problem is there is a plane on our left wing tip too." Now I knew this was really dangerous because if there was a problem you can only do one of two things (you either fly straight up or straight down to avoid problems ahead of you). So, this is what actually happened. Suddenly the plane flew straight up. Everyone but me and my wife on the plane was screaming because they believed they were going to die. People were throwing up into their airsick bags or on the floor. My wife said, "Fred. Are we going to die?" I said, "No. The plane told me it would be rough but we would all be okay." She relaxed because she knew I'm intuitive about things like this in an accurate way. My 2 1/2 or 3 year old daughter was going "Whoopie" and some people laughed nervously because at least my toddler was happy and they thought clueless about what was going to happen next.

So, then after 30 seconds or less of flying straight up we leveled out without Stalling the wing and dropping out of the sky because of it in a flat spin and hitting the ground. So, after that we landed and we were all okay. So, the plane was right. It was going to be turbulent but no crash and no deaths just a lot of really freaked out people (except us) who might never fly again after that.

But, I knew we were going to be okay and we were and my wife knew because I told her and my toddler just thought "Whoopie!" and has loved roller coasters ever since.

So, I think I just thought of a way to avoid a fatal encounter with Artificial Intelligence. It's a Good Day!

PS my family and I likely have flown at least 25 to 50 times since then so this didn't phase us in the least about flying. After all, the plane had been right!
