Loves-Truck-Stop-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1091

Loves Truck Stop Love

Firstly it’s time for some Loves Truck Stop Love. I’ve spent a lot of time in these places. Details in Loves-Truck-Stop-Love-Bob Davis Podcast 1091.

Tom Love Passes Away

Secondly the guy who built the Love’s Truck and Travel Stop chain Love’s passes away recently at 85.

Live Podcast

Therefore it’s time for a podcast live from the Love’s.

National Highway System

Above all this subject gets me going on the history of first the National Highway System and it’s successor the Interstates.

Trucking

In addition while I am not an expert on the history of trucking I’ll spend some time on this subject.

Independent Businesses

As well as discussing the whole subject of how the truck stops starting as independent refueling stations grew with the Interstates and the US from the 1960’s.

Logistics

Certainly it’s fair to say that over the road trucking coast to coast…

And the container system with railroads…

Has contributed greatly to America’s logistics systems.

Truck Stops

Of course the Truck Stops of all kinds have been a big part of that.

Nationwide

As a result Truck Stops like Love’s are nationwide.

Most importantly the truck stops also cater to travelers and nomads.

More Comfortable

That is to say fuel, great food, products we need and showers make life on the road a lot more comfortable and enjoyable than it was back in the day.

When The Interstates Were New

Likewise I am old enough to remember when the Interstates were still in construction.

Family Road Trips

Taking family road trips that often detoured onto two lane highways through the South and central US.

Passion For Travel

Moreover these trips fueled my passion for the travel experience.

Mom And Pop

Including the mom and pop truck stops of old.

Lamenting Change

Finally you often hear people lament the changes in this country.

Good Changes

But some of those changes have produced results that we will remember fondly someday when they too pass into the mists of time.

Truckers Travelers and Nomads

In short for Truckers, Nomads and Travelers Truck Stops are a necessity.

So here’s to Tom and Judy Love…

Built From A Small Business

And what they built from a small business back in the day.

Your-Apocalypse-Now-Bob Davis Podcast 1090

Your Apocalypse Now

Firstly I say it’s your apocalypse now because everyone seems to be on the doom train these days. Learn more in Your-Apocalypse-Now-Bob Davis Podcast 1090.

Negative About The Future

Secondly I will tell you why I think everyone is so negative about the future in this podcast.

However not in this blog.

End Times

You have to listen to find out what’s causing this fascination with ‘the end times’.

Favorite End Time Themes

Whether it’s the Earth burning up, Nuclear War, Mass Starvation, Economic Collapse and certainly the return of Jesus, everyone seems to have their favorite end times theme.

5D World Too

Even hippies are getting into the act with their theories about the so called 5D world.

Friendly Aliens

Or the arrival of benevolent aliens who just want to help us.

Catastrophe In The Making

Of course there are catastrophes happening and in the making almost every day.

End Times Band Wagons

And the prognosticators, tarot card readers, economic experts, former generals and lesser ranks jumping on whatever end times band wagon seems to be going by.

Adhere To These Theories

But what’s amazing is how many people adhere to these theories.

And once one identifies with some theory one feels the need to defend and promote it.

Low Level Depression

Consequently we all seem to be in a constant low level depression.

Tired Of It

In short I am getting tired of it.

Dystopia

To begin with you’ll not find a shortage of dystopian literature and movies in my collection.

But every now and then it gets to be a little too much.

Explanation

Therefore the theme of Your-Apocalypse-Now-Bob Davis Podcast 1090 is an explanation for this negativity.

Not Insurmountable

That is to say while there are challenges in our country and the world they aren’t insurmountable.

And there’s a very good reason so many content creators and subscribers are loving messages of the end times.

They’re Right

In conclusion the reason is they’re right!

The end is coming.

Details in the podcast.

Algorithm-Slaves-Bob Davis Podcast 1089

Algorithm Slaves

Firstly these days content creators seem intent on following their audiences. Learn more in Algorithm-Slaves-Bob Davis Podcast 1089..

Relevance

Secondly that is to say relevance for a creator is more and more about what the audience wants.

Certainly not what the artist or creator wants.

And today’s algorithms often determine the audience.

What Is Creating?

But what if creating is about leading the audience?

To clarify sooner or later creators have to bite the hands that feed them.

Dangers Of A Narrow Audience

Or face an increasingly narrow audience although it may be increasing in size.

Even more when likes and shares and subscriptions become the order of the day why not have AI do everything?

Role Of The Artist

In short what is the role of the human artist?

And what is the process of creativity?

Finally it’s my perception algorithm slaves build silos of opinion which actually limit objective discussion.

In addition what does one learn if they stay in that same silo forever?

Therefore it’s easy to see why many people think on the same tracks and perform in the same ways, in the end.

Grow

As a result creators do not grow.

Imprisoned By An Audience

Likewise I have certainly had my struggles being imprisoned by an audience, back in the day.

It’s About Control

However I’m grateful to have arrived at a place where the audience and the ‘shoulds’ don’t control what I do.

Didn’t Want To Talk About This

In Algorithm-Slaves-Bob Davis Podcast 1089 I take on a subject I really didn’t want to talk about.

Craven

On the other hand the craven nature of creators on almost every subject suggests it’s time to talk about this.

Audience Dictators

Finally listeners should not be required to dictate content.

Or even asked about it.

Yet you see and hear this all the time.

Likes and Shares

Subsequently likes and shares, and subs, define the future for those who ‘influence’ society as a whole.

Or so they think.

Thus Algorithm-Slaves-Bob Davis Podcast 1089.

Breaking Out

In conclusion content creators might consider breaking out of the self imposed tyranny.

Who Knows Best

In short when it comes to the very human nature of creating, the audience doesn’t always know best.

And neither does the algorithm.
