This is a special present from SoundEagle🦅 to Ray Cormier.

SoundEagle, when I started my Blog in 2011, I searched for images and videos that were relevant to the themes of my posts with great enthusiasm to make it more attractive as you do with yours.
In the 11 months of 2011there were some 14,000 visitors. In 2012 there were over 24,000 visitors.
Most of those people came from finding my Blog included in the results of a Google search not looking for me or my Blog.Google changed their algorithm in 2013 and that year, visitors dropped by two thirds and have been going down since then. Last month, there were 13 Days with not 1 visitor, so I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm which explains the long time since my last post December 13, 2022. I was happy to see you as the 1st one to like and comment on https://rayjc.com/2024/03/03/the-perils-of-moving-to-a-cashless-society/ posted Today.

Dear Ray Cormier
Thank you for visiting and commenting here after having interacting with you at your most recent post entitled “THE PERILS OF MOVING TO A CASHLESS SOCIETY as follows:
Hello Ray,
This is a very well-written post, even more so considering that you have not published for months. I would therefore like to inform you that I have greatly enjoyed perusing your post entitled “THE PERILS OF MOVING TO A CASHLESS SOCIETY“, in which you have revealed many implications, some of which could be dire or unruly.
Thank you for your unfettered exposé on these matters, which can be further couched in, and examined through, historical, technological and socioeconomical analyses of (post)modernity as well as cultural evolution in general and sociopolitical conflict in particular. There are now many more consequential precipices at which humanity has found itself reckoning with existential crises, whilst fathoming the great riddle of life and reconciling with its own limits, hubris and fragility.
Whilst it is timely to investigate the perils of moving to a cashless society, it can also be highly illuminating in fathoming the perils of moving to an ageless society. I have entertained some highly plausible dystopian scenarios with significant risks for the future of humanity. In addition, I often explore the intersections of art and science, of public and private spaces, of the cultural and the technological. Whilst I concede that technology offers enormous unexplored potential allowing emerging artists to express themselves in unprecedented ways, I do have certain concerns and caveats regarding science “reproducing” reality and artists representing it. In a special post, I have endeavoured to give a very good inkling of the kind of society that humans might be heading towards. Looking into the future, here is an entry in my sociology, philosophical anthropology and cultural history journal entitled “Facing the Noise & Music: Playgrounds for Biophobic Citizens“, published at
Pushing forward another 50 years or (much) less, we could indeed end up in the scenario as described in my said post. As you can discover in the said post, there will be plenty of far-reaching ramifications in multiple domains of human life, some of which are irreversible. Should you decide to peruse my said post, I look forward to reading your feedback there. The post takes the perspective of sociology, philosophical anthropology and cultural history.
I welcome your input there and am curious to know what you make of my said post. Please enjoy!
Happy March to you! Wishing you a productive springtime doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most!
Yours sincerely,
SoundEagleGiven your background and interest, your making further perusal and comment here regarding the profound implications and existential ramifications of the ageless (and biophobic) society is highly appreciated. Thank you in anticipation.

Wow! The changes you made SoundEagle improved the look so much better than it was. Did you work on that all night or Day wherever you are?
I am so positively impressed and grateful for your help. How could you make so many changes in so short of a Time?
Since we’re both hosted by WordPress, I haven’t changed the theme since I started the Blog in 2011. Obviously you have a greater talent than I do in making a Blog pleasing to the eye. WordPress has introduced so many new free themes, maybe it’s Time for a change?
Again, I’m so pleased with how you improved my Blog. Many Thanks and Blessings!
Peace

Algorithms are feisty critters that probably feed on cat food. I’m sorry the 2013 change impacted you adversely. 🙂

Google changing their algorithm in 2013 affected not only my Blog, but many others as well.
Thanks to SoundEagle this space will recover.

Dear Ray,
In the spirit of Easter, I would like to wish you “Joyeuses Pâques!”, and to share with you my special Easter post entitled “🐥 Easter in Modern Multimedia Perspective 🐰🐣🐇🐤“. You are very welcome to enjoy some eye-catching graphics and animations plus more pertinent information there. The very stylish and highly multifaceted post can be accessed directly at
This said post examines Easter in great detail. It also features many photos of sumptuous Polish cuisines for the special occasion. One of my best friends is Polish, and she had made the hearty dish of Golobki, which is a cabbage roll with meat, rice and tomatoes, served with thick tomato sauce. I remember that the last step is her putting the dish in an oven for about 20 minutes.
May you enjoy the Easter long weekend. Happy Easter to you!

Only the Chosen Cohen People accepted the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
This false Av tuma avoda zara verse, 2 Corinthians 8:9, emphasizes the themes of grace, sacrificial love, and generosity, particularly within the context of Xtian avoda zarah theology. Torah defines faith as the righteous pursuit of fair restitution of damages inflicted by one upon another through Sanhedrin common law judicial courtrooms. JeZeus a foreign alien false prophet. The NT does not understand that all Torah prophesy commands mussar. The Xtian viewpoint Av tumah avoda zarah worship of other Gods. A direct violation of the 2nd Sinai commandment.
The humility of Moshe Rabbeinu, his silence when confronted by emotional mobs. The revelation of the Torah at Sinai specifically excludes both Esau and Yishmael who both categorically reject the revelation of the Torah at Sinai. Proof. No where in the Xtian NT or Muslim Koran – the Hebrew Name of HaShem. The revelation of this Divine Name – a Spirit and NOT some disgusting word translation, like as expressed through the sin of the Golden Calf.
The Xtian NT falsely interprets prophesy as predictions of future events. Hence the NT books of Av tuma avoda zarah declare that JeZeus fulfilled the words of the prophets! This mirrors the witchcraft of the prophet Bil’aam, who likewise prophesied future events. Witchcraft foretells the future. Torah prophets command mussar to the generations of the chosen Cohen people.
In Judaism, avoda zarah refers to the worship of foreign gods, explicitly forbidden in the Torah second Sinai commandment. The concept of faith in Torah centers itself around mussar (dedication of tohor Oral Torah middot to change future social interactions a man has with his people) and justice, particularly in the context of restitution through judicial common law/legislative review mandate systems like the Sanhedrin. The God of Israel a tribal God NOT some Xtian or Muslim Universal God. Only the chosen Cohen people accepted HaShem as our God at Sinai.
The revelation of the Torah at Sinai fundamentally and categorically rejects the strict monotheism preached by the false prophet Mohammad. Why? Monotheism directly violates the 2nd Sinai commandments. Hence the theology of some Universal One God Monotheism = a Torah abomination of the first order. Both the NT and Koran failed to grasp that Israel, through the holiness of doing tohor time-oriented Torah commandments, creates Angels from the holiness of these time-oriented Torah commandments. The av tumah avoda zarah of both Xtianity and Islam knows absolutely nothing about tohor time-oriented commandments dedicated to HaShem similar to a sacrifice dedicated upon the altar on Zion Jerusalem. A fundamental distinction between their foreign false Gods and the revelation of the Torah at Sinai.
Torah faith rejects the Goyim idea that through theology that man can create God – as both Xtianity and Islam preach. Both religions of avoda zarah never call to the Name of HaShem nor validate the chosen Cohen people as the only people who accept the Torah at Sinai. Covenant, a false corrupt translation of brit. The latter requires swearing a Torah oath which absolutely requires שם ומלכות. The NT and Koran fail to create Angles through שם ומלכות time-oriented commandments, dedicated to establish the yoke of the kingdom of Heaven upon these oath created Angels – sent as messengers of Israel in times of peace and war.

mosckeer, the Chosen People of the Torah are dead and gone. God is ckoosing People who are alive Today who can do good in this World and they’re not necessarily Israelis in this Common Era of Christ.
mosckeer,
Your reliance on historical minutiae and specialized jargon is a shield against the present-tense reality of injustice. You build a wall of dates and charters to hide the simple, bloody truth: while you debate 1950, Israeli settlers are stealing olive harvests today. While you parse the 1964 PLO charter, families are being shot in their cars today under a so-called “truce.”
This is not a scholarly debate. It is a moral confrontation.
The world is not blind. It sees the stark contrast between your historical lectures and the live-streamed violence of the occupation. No amount of “revisionist history” can revise the image of a dead child.
My calling is not to be trapped in your historical labyrinth. My calling is to stand as a Watchman and report the covenantal crime happening now. Your elaborate arguments are just noise to drown out the screams.
If your cause is so righteous, why does it require burying the present in the past? Why does it fear the simple, prophetic question: Where is the justice for the sojourner today?
