I loves how Joebot keeps us up to date with a human journey. He's got "bot" in the name but that's the end of the botness.

In the words of someone I hold dear to my heart:

You have no idea the impact you've had on my life. God bless you, Joe Allen. Safe travels. ♡

Just keep up the good work. What you are doing is so important. I have your book, heavy stuff! I agree we are going to see many changes, mostly frightening changes. I don't know many people who want to face what is coming around the bend. AI scares the **** out of me. Do what you need to do so we can keep informed. Thanks, and praying for you as well.

Joe, I have read your SW periodicals, posts on WarRoom and your book, which I have copiously highlighted, underscored and notated. :-) So glad Steve introduced you to all of us in the posse. Sorry we won't be seeing much of you for a while but am looking forward to hearing from you however and whenever possible. May God bless and guide you.

Yes change is good for the soul/spirit, especially when coming after a particularly trying time. The new day gives us hope to carry on. And until Jesus returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand.

Change is always needed and a good thing to do. I would suggest doing shorter substack articles some of the time and a longer one as the need strikes you.

My personal situation is that I am just waiting out the countdown to the election and am spending much less time reading or listening to things about it. It has occupied to much of my life in the last 4 years and I am certainly up to speed. I also get a number of substacks that are voluminous and take serious concentration toe take in the info. This particularly applies to the doctors and researchers of the Covid "vaccine" not a vaccine. I am also an avid reader on many subjects including pleasure reading. My days are too short. I have decided in my spare time to restore my 1973 Holdsworth Record Bicycle. I have bought good tools to do it as well as paint, decal sets from England, and Campagnolo brake and gear shift cable sets. Then there is the Autumn house and yard chores. I think you and most of your readers can relate all to well.

So, my best on your journey to Joebot 2.0

Change is a good thing. As you say, we're sailing on some rough seas and the destination is unknown for many folks. Taking a break and exploring other avenues, experiences and places is a must in anyone's life. Enjoy your journey wherever it may lead you young man! P.

Happy to read whatever you write. Length is whatever length it needs to be. Topic, whatever you deem appropriate. If you do some articles about nature and animals all good, if you stick with God or tech, also good. Write in freedom. Artists and writers hearts generally stay in the same place even if the topic flows. I also think they’re always tethered to their heart or subconscious mission, even if the end result doesn’t initially appear to be related- without a doubt it will be. I’m sure whatever you do will be great. Looking forward to it. Glad that you’re sticking around.

Taking the easy path here... dittoes to Heather K's sentiments. Your instincts are great. You've obviously learned to listen to and to trust them, so shall I.

Stay safe out there, but most of all enjoy the scenery and have fun!

Joe, I would love to have your advice on the new AI-powered iPhone 16. Would it be better to avoid any phone that is AI-enhanced?

If you can avoid any smartphones, I say do it!

It will be a gradient towards more privacy invasion and manipulation.

If you can't, due to a job or some other circumstance, I would say go as primitive as possible, use a VPN when you can, and end-to-end encryption.

Thank you so much, Joe! Merry Christmas!

I think you need to do a positive "Sunday Morning" show like it was long ago with Charles Kurolt (spelling?). Traversing small towns & discovering unique people, places & things but with your unique (computer world) perspective ! Have a great day and safe traveling!
