God does not speak, but he can make his intentions known to humans through the entrails of goats.  So reading goat entrails makes sense.

Hard to get into the ancient mind ... but it is inside you, we are onions, not parfaits.

Modern man has usurped the power of the oracles.  We have developed new ways to understand the messages of the gods that are now available to all of us.  We progress.

Ah, but who controls the database, controls the data.  Oracle products control more large databases than any other.  They and their customers control more data than any other.  And you want to put all your data in a cloud?  Same as moving it off your machine ... and in your control, onto a giant machine ... and out of your control.  One idea about the Delphic oracle, is that they had a more efficient intelligence service than any other oracle.  So basically they were the deep state ... controlling deeply superstitious people.  Just like today.

And then put it in the cloud (or on social media aka another cloud)?  Or are you just an alt-alt?

Hmmm, I field dressed a few deer in my youth.  Apparently, I missed learning some profound truths.  But the vultures were circling and I needed to get the useful meat to a chill tank...  Maybe the vultures learned something from the intestines.

Here, here.  Don't throw away those intestines.  There's useful information in them of vital interest to the tribe.

I'll have to use the back yard.  The neighbors are fussy about deer guts near the street.
