[9:32pm]

[talk about pay, funding, spirituality ...]

S: "Prayer doesn't change things; it changes people; and PEOPLE change things." ~ A DJ I heard on WIBG when I was about 12 years old. He said it twice a week or so.

P: Well, that's at least one mechanism by which prayer does work.

[More chat, about AI, extraterrestrials ...]

S: Humanity Rising has a theologian and a Jungian ...

[9:45pm]

S: Jim Garrison, does have an ON page. President of Ubiquity University, the home of Humanity Rising, created in May 2020 for 3 months. After break, it started up again, 5 days a week. HR now has 1,163 episodes as of today.

The Page Itself: HR!Day1163 - Fri 2/06/26 The Secret of the Golden Flower - Eve Jackson

S: It's the day page format, of which we have close to 1,100. Earlier pages were different.

P: It's a good looking format [and I'm picky about that sort of thing].

S: See under "Videos" the day's Humanity Rising video recording. "AfterChat Video Recording" is a video recording of the talk we had after the meeting--typically involving thirty or forty people.

Below these two items, see the two text-format Chat records.

P: I look forward to learning from these formats. Now, in order to migrate pages from Wikidelphia to ON, I'll need to be able to log in to ON. Any progress on that?

S: Our WikiMedia software was totally replaced. Certain things stopped working.

To-Do: Test all parts and report flaws of wikidelphia.

P: [Tries to log in to ON. Shows S the resulting error page.]

[Conversation about how to get a P a set of login info.]
