Playing Tennis

I've never been an avid tennis player, probably only played less than a dozen times in my entire life, the past two weeks included, but I have played a lot of badminton when I was younger, it was always my favorite sport. 

Anyway, I started playing tennis again. I guess it's like riding a bike, once you learn how to ride, you never forget. 

I filmed myself. This was taken last week. It was my second time playing tennis in the past week after not playing in almost ten years.

I'm putting this up here because I've decided to become a superior Olympic level athlete. Whether that means running ultra marathons or climbing mountains or riding my bicycle around the world, I want to document the process, so I'm starting here at the beginning.

It's raw footage. Unedited. If you like tennis, you might enjoy it. If not, well, you don't have to look at it. Either way, I'm putting it up here, because I like it and will enjoy watching it again.

I'll probably edit it down to a smaller size at some point, focusing on the highlights, and maybe create a YouTube channel, but for now I post the raw unedited footage here.

The New Reality

Have you noticed that there are a lot of new YouTube videos with realistic looking people that are actually artificially generated?

And I'm not talking about movie "extras" in the background. I'm talking about the main character of the video, the main attraction, the primary protagonist, the purported YouTube channel owner taking selfies in real time. 

Yeah, I've noticed it. I'll have to put some evidence later, there's actually a huge amount of it.

What I've noticed is that they use real videos of real people engaged in real physical activities, videos that people uploaded to social media over the years, not realizing that when you upload videos of yourself to social media platforms, the website can use your data in any way it chooses, which means it used a lot of videos for training AI. 

What they do is take original videos of people engaged in action shots and they take that data and can change it, by for instance superimposing a different face on the original content body, and they can also change the background environmental footage, and they can change the script, change the voice, but really it's just a fucking fabrication of reality. 

The evidence lies in the eyes and the hands. If something on a video looks "off" with the eyes and the hands, you may be looking at an artificially created caricature of intelligence.

In most cases people have no idea that their videos have been used in this way, but there also exists a small group of social media content creators, particularly one's with a large audience and a higher net worth, have voluntarily sold their data to the highest bidder. Again, there are examples, and I'll try to post them.

The second observation I've made today is that where I live, in Southern Arizona, I've noticed that over the last couple months, there's been a major reduction of air traffic, despite living under a main flight path, and zero chemtrails, but ever since the election, it's like a switch has been flipped on, and the air traffic is back, and the chemtrails are back too.

I'm wondering if they may be dumping bird flu on everyone. Again there is evidence in support of that too. Either that or we've entered an alternate reality matrix, like some kind of wormhole, where we have entered a different dimension in time and space, and at this point we may all be time travelers in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Progress

 

So, I finally did it. Raised my VO2 Max from 39 to 42. 

If you are younger than 30, that number probably sounds unimpressive, but I'm a bit older than that, and so for my age and gender, that's in the excellent range.

My next goal will be 45. I seek to become superior. 

Not against others though, but against my own base and inferior tendencies. 

I'm also humbled by the fact that regardless of what some chart says is in the excellent or superior range, that's just a general guideline, and there may be people significantly higher than that in the same age group or older.

I've read in some forums of peak female athletes being in their late 50s or 60s, and having a VO2 Max of 50 plus, which is higher than some males in decent shape half that age.

I'm running again, but have also taken up tennis. It's fun. I have a tennis court where I live so it makes it really convenient. But it's like now I have to buy new shoes and new clothes and it's not really in my budget. Anyway, I've filmed some of it, and eventually I will post a few highlights.

This season I'm really making a big commitment to increasing my physical fitness. Yeah, I'm still drinking beer, and smoking a lot of pot, am officially now a pothead, but I'm focused on the essentials, becoming extremely fit and going on adventures. 

It's unfortunate that I have to slave away for a living, spending a significant portion of my time engaged in activities that are not conducive to my personal happiness, and as an independent contractor with no guarantee of work, every week is full of uncertainty, but I'm making time to spend in the outdoors doing fun things that are personally enriching. 

I've got a bunch of field trips planned. Not sure if I'll be putting it on YouTube or not, but there will be some visual evidence. 

Of course the internet is dead, censorship is at an all time high, and the internet may go offline soon, possible EMP attack on the horizon, or possible fake event to erase history and keep everyone in the dark, but I'll keep going for as long as possible and hoping for the best.
