Silicon age. Giants of the past
The hypothesis about the possibility of that former life like giants were SILICON based not carbon was put forward back in the 60s of the last century. In short, that's the thing here. Protein chains that form the basis of the substance of all earth-inhabiting creatures - from single-celled bacteria to humans - are built on the basis of carbon. But it is assumed that silicon can create the same chains. This means that proteins based on it can also lead to the emergence of life under certain conditions in the process of long-term evolution.
At the same time, "Silicon" organisms and their internal organs can have almost nothing to do with ours; life processes in them should proceed not only differently, but also many times slower, that is, time itself should move differently for them. The "silicon" creature is hardly able to notice us at all, as we do not notice, for example, the molecules fluttering in front of us. For the "Silicon" we are too fast. They only see and feel what is motionless or moving at the same speed as they do.
According to Sharpe, such silicon-organic creatures have found a suitable habitat in the hot bowels of the planet, where they are gradually evolving. Individual "Silicon" individuals are occasionally brought to the surface as a result of volcanic activity, but at the top they do not seem to live long, freeze and becoming like ordinary stones. If you accept the Sharpe hypothesis, we can argue that silicon creatures do not live on the surface of the earth for long. Famous moving stones in California's Death Valley are known, for example. The boulders on it - from three-meter blocks to the size of a soccer ball - move like a Sharpe stone, leaving a trace on the ground. And this movement has been going on for hundreds of years.
Signs of life are shown not only by stones from the valley of death. For several centuries, the legendary blue has been famous - a stone located near the village of the settlement near Pereslavl - behind - forested. In the Xvii century, this boulder, which was the object of worship of the Gentiles, was thrown into a deep pit and covered with earth, but a few decades later mysteriously looked out of the ground. The "Flamming" stone found by submariners near the coast of Paraguay is also known. In the 50s of the last century, the remains of the Spanish galleon were discovered there. It was not possible to examine it in detail at that time, but a detailed map of the seabed in this place was compiled. Among other features of the underwater relief, a five-meter boulder ingrown into the bottom was indicated on the map. When almost half a century later another expedition began to survey the galleon, its participants were very surprised to find a depression in place of the bounce. At the same time, a large stone not marked on the map was near the pit. After examining the stone and the depression, the submariners came to the conclusion that the stone was the same boulder from the old map. In fifty years, he somehow incomprehensible surfaced and moved several tens of meters.
Moving stones were discovered by American astronauts on the moon. Behind the individual lunar boulders, as well as behind the stones in the valley of death, there were grooves, indicating that the boulders were moving. The most amazing thing is that some furrows were interrupted, and the stone that left them was not in place, as if he had soared into the air and flew away!
"Larding" mind.
All these and other Finds suggest that silicon life can exist not only in the specific conditions of the earth's subsoil, but also on the surface of the planet and even in the absolute cold of outer space. This means that silicon-based life is much more widespread in the universe than carbon.
Both of these lives, so different from each other, evolved on earth in parallel, but at different speeds, which is why the results of their evolution vary greatly. Life on a carbon basis, which originated on our planet three and a half billion years ago, has now given a reasonable being - man. Silicon life, which originated here, seems to be even earlier, is only at the very beginning of its path to reason. And this is primarily due to the huge time difference in the course of life processes in silicon and carbon organisms. Long life expectancy and extreme slowness in the life of silicon significantly hinder their evolution. While hundreds, if not thousands of generations of carbon creatures, were replaced, only one generation of silicon creatures was replaced. As a result of such a turtle evolutionary movement, the most "advanced" silicon individuals in their "reasonableness" are now at best at the level of primitive worms. Silicon creatures are so unusual that in our perception they are indistinguishable from simple stones. Even scientific methods, as can be seen from Sharpe samples, cannot recognize their real nature. We can guess that we are not stones, but living beings in front of us only by their behavior, such as movement.
Modern science denies the presence of life based on silicon on Earth. Howard Sharpe's report about the Finding of the "Living Stone" scientists prefer not to notice how much they do not notice many other phenomena that do not fit into the framework of traditional ideas about the world around them. But these phenomena still exist and are waiting for science to finally grow to their correct understanding.
Silicon life form: agates, living stones
There is a hypothesis that the crystalline mineral lattice is able to accumulate information and operate on it. That is, the theory of "thinking stones" is put forward. According to a number of researchers, all biological organisms, including humans, are only "incubators". Their meaning lies in the birth of "stones." It has been established that a diamond can be made from ash after human cremation. This service is quite popular in some countries. For example, from 500 g of ashes under pressure and high temperature in 2 months, you can grow a blue diamond with a diameter of 5 mm. On average, a person synthesizes about 100 kg of quartz and silicon in his life. It is believed that when they enter the body, they begin to grow, often causing discomfort. After death, these stones probably go through another cycle of development already in natural (natural) conditions. They turn into separate nuggets that resemble agates. The accumulation and development of grains of sand in the body has been known for a long time. This process is called pseudomorphosis. Thus, the bones of dinosaurs have been preserved to this day thanks to this phenomenon. At the same time, the chemical composition of the residues has nothing to do with bone tissue. In fact, their existence causes a silicon life form. This has been proven by a number of studies. In one case, the casts of bone remains are chalcedony, in the other - apatite. Unusual belemnites were discovered in Australia - cephalopods that widely inhabited the planet in the Mesozoic era. Their bone residues are replaced by opal.
Zinc-shaped. This type of lizard is considered the most diverse. It also includes the so-called real lizards, which live in the middle zone of Russia. Most of the reptiles of this order are inhabitants of the tropics. They inhabit South America, Madagascar, Cuba and Africa. There are also some species of skins in the Sahara desert.
Iguanoeous. This detachment consists of more than fourteen families. The most interesting representative of this species is the chameleon, which inhabits South America and Madagascar. Hecko-shaped. This type of lizard is not the most common. It is he who includes some legless lizards, which are easy to confuse with snakes. There are such reptiles in Australia and some southern islands. Spindle-shaped. This squad is mainly represented by barn and legless lizards. Worm-shaped lizards. Lizards of this species look like large earthworms. They inhabit tropical and subtropical moist forests of Mexico, Indonesia and Indochina. Varano-shaped. This species is represented by large reptiles. Most often these are monitor lizards weighing more than five kilograms. The only poisonous lizard poisonous tooth also belongs to this order. She bites her victim and at the same time injects poison under the skin. Video silicon life form 2
Carbon-based bodies and flint-based bodies. What's the difference? Carbon base of the body. Proteins, carbohydrates, gases, everything contains carbon. As a result, the bodies are heavy, a constant complex oxidative process is required. Water in the body does not contain carbon, but participates in all processes in the body. There is still silicon in the human physical body, although in a small amount necessary for the work of many organs. In this case, silicon is not river sand. This is a soluble element in the form of ions. The transition of the body to a silicon basis will give a change in many chemical reactions of the biological shell - to simplifying the metabolic system and facilitating the body. People will not be able to jump from the carbon base of the body to another one. A restructuring is required, which will take some time. The bodies of modern people are adapted to carbon, so it is difficult to "break" the physical plane. This can be done with young bodies, switching to a different diet, in principle different from the current one. These are not only prana, but also elements of the Earth. Water (crystal) - and silicon-based body. Clean water is a crystal, a receiving device is a transmitting device. Liquid media in the body, it's not quite clean water. The water there is about 30%. These liquids contain dense substances that create a substrate of life (formed blood elements, amino acid proteins, fats, salts, trace elements, etc.). All these components include carbon. When replacing C with Si, the environment will change radically. Water will only remain a solvent and informant. But the water itself is not transformed. In nature, water is combined into clusters. This connection, in terms of information content, is akin to computer disks. There are very few such compounds in the human body, and are more often received from outside. First of all, the bodies will not wear out as much as they are now. A stronger body base, a skeleton, will increase the conductivity of the body. The crystal lattice of the internal environment will allow you to receive-give thin energies very easily. So, the subtle material world will enter everyday life easily and become commonplace. The heavyness of the bodies will go away. But as a habitat, it will still be a dense world. The current crystal lattice is outdated functionally, so it will be replaced. But it's a long process, not one day... First, units will be converted to silicon bodies, rebuilt slowly and when ready. The suns will get it faster, it's easier for them to do it. But still, it's a rather slow process. 10 signs of silicon bodies:

1. On the thin plane, the skin has a coral color, not bright, but energetically luminous.
2. There are weakly noticeable glitter on the physical body. During periods of "live waves" on Earth and the summer activity of the Sun, the shine on the skin can increase significantly. These glitter have a coral, solar and diamond shine. They can be lubricated from body to paper. These glitter are also present inside the skin and nails, in the hair and are visible as an unusual shine.
3. Silicon body is isomorphic. In the movie "Tron. Heritage" was "The Last Isomorph." So, to think in this direction.
4. The silicon body has the ability to change volume and weight, change facial features (resane, of course).
5. In a short time, a change in the character and other characteristics of a person is achieved in the presence of a Silicon body.
6. There is no need for physical activity, for example, in the gym, but they are not contraindicated. Muscles with the finished Silicon Body are toned in other ways. At the same time, there is much more physical strength than that of the same athlete.
7. In the presence of Silicon Body, the Star Body and Budchic are very developed. Although, here, perhaps, they are causes, not a consequence.The processes of cleansing the body are going on their own. And you don't have to limit yourself to something. The body, that is, you yourself, feel that you want to eat, or, if desired, you may not eat at all. And there will be no problems in protein bodies.
8. There is a strong adaptation of medicines and even poisons. The body seems to understand the mechanism of action of the drug and takes its qualities into itself. After that, it no longer has a therapeutic effect. However, this does not apply to all medicines, some are designed to cause huge damage to Silicon Body. Therefore, it is better to give up any medication at all if there are no local ailments manifested at the physical level.
9. If the regulars of beauty salons, women, developed Silicon Bodies in themselves, they would admire how economical it is!)) Maybe such Benefit will encourage them to do it. Because the skin, face and body are the result of expensive hardware cosmetology.What you need to go through to buy a silicon body:These processes begin after an important stage of transformations has passed - the purification stage of thin bodies, followed by the purification of the DNA of the Soul, that is, the part of your DNA that was once incarnated on this planet, everything is cured. Before your body gets the opportunity to transform to the 4th density, before that you must be completely, totally, as called, "to the bottom" cleared before your first descent to this planet, and even if you had descents not only to this planet, but in this galaxy into other densities of the same level, then the DNA must also be purified, that is, all the experience of your Soul, which belongs to the third level of matter, all damage to DNA codes must be cleared, detected and fully restored according to the ideal pattern.

Another direction of alternative biochemistry is to study the possibility of the vital activity of "antisymmetric" organisms from D-amino acids and L-carbohydrates, and not vice versa.
Silicon era. How long did the silicon era last?
The Silicon era is the crust of the earth. The Earth's crust consists of rocks, the main element of which is silicon. The thickness of the crust is 5-30 kilometers. And silicon creatures developed these kilometers with their activities. Just as carbon creatures are now developing fertile soil. So far, 3 meters have been worked. Feel the difference.
The famous geochemist academician Fersman hypothesized that a silicon form of life (non-carbon) is possible on our planet. Similar assumptions were made by different scientists at different times. In November this year, it was reported that biotechnologists at the California Institute had removed a bacterium that is capable of synthesizing compounds with SiO 2. Thus, they have made significant progress in research related to the creation of creatures whose metabolism is based on inorganic molecules.
Silicon form of life: vitolitic theory
In the course of research, scientists searched enzymes in the information base of protein sequences that have the ability to bind C and SiO 2. Hemoproteins were chosen for this reaction. They are proteins in which porphyrins are also present. The researchers chose cytochrome. This protein synthesizes bacteria present in Iceland's hot underwater sources. Scientists have identified and multiplied the gene that encodes the enzyme. After that, he was subjected to accidental mutations. The researchers introduced the created DNA sequences into E. coli. In the course of observations, it was found that some mutations in the active site led to the fact that the taken bacteria began to produce a protein capable of synthesizing organosilicon compounds. Its effectiveness, determined by the reaction speed and quantity of the product, exceeds the effectiveness of artificial catalysts. Scientists intend to continue their research. Their goal is to understand why, despite the wide spread of silicon compounds on Earth, it was the carbon form that was created and developed in the course of evolution. There are no organisms in nature that can use SiO 2 in metabolism. It is quite possible that in the future researchers will be able to create an organism from which the silicon form of life on Earth will begin.
Literary performances
Silicon life on Earth is invisible to the human eye. Metabolism in it is so stretched over time that people do not take into account the very possibility of its existence. Pratchett's books (English writer) about the Flat World describe the original race of silicon-organic creatures - trolls. Their thinking depends on the temperature of their habitat. The stupidity that is characteristic of trolls is due to the poor functioning of the organosilicon brain in the warmth. With significant cooling, these creatures show ultra-high intellectual abilities. Representatives of the silicon-calcium world can be transformed into the skeleton of animals and plants, as well as into corals.
Natural phenomena
French geologists Reşar and Escolier have been studying rock samples from different parts of the world for quite a long time. They found out that the stones have certain signs of life processes. Only they flow extremely slowly. Scientists have found out that the structure of stones may change. They can be old or young. In addition, the researchers have established their ability to "breathe." But one "inhale" stretches for 1-14 days, and "heartbeat" - for almost a day. Scientists photographed stones at different periods of time and established their ability to move. Meanwhile, there are "moving blocks" in many parts of the world.
Silicon life form: agates, living stones
There is a hypothesis that the crystalline mineral lattice is able to accumulate information and operate on it. That is, the theory of "thinking stones" is put forward. According to a number of researchers, all biological organisms, including humans, are only "incubators". Their meaning lies in the birth of "stones."

Unusual belemnites were discovered in Australia - cephalopods that widely inhabited the planet in the Mesozoic era. Their bone residues are replaced by opal.
Specifications
Anatomical features are clearly identified in samples of different ages. In particular, during the research, the scientist and his team found a striped and crystalline body, a bottom-mirror (the meaning of this element was not determined accurately, it is assumed that it is a kind of visual analyzer). Agathas have skin that can shed and regenerate. Like many other organisms, they get sick and heal their wounds (cracks and chips). Silicon life forms involve nutrition, capturing certain spaces, preserving complex forms in dynamics.
Reproduction
In the course of the research, scientists revealed an interesting fact. It was found that the agates were bisexual. The crystalline body is female and the striped body is male. Genes are also present in them. They are represented by crystals of the female body. Reproduction can be carried out in several ways. For example, the silicon form of life is decoming from "seeds." In addition, on specific examples, Bokovikov showed that budding, cloning, division with the formation of separation centers are also possible. The researcher observed cryot reproduction in basalt. The scientist identified a number of processes. For example, the origin of cryotes, development, appearance of a baby, transformation into an organism, emergence of spherical structures around the embryos, death.
Masonic performances
In the course of numerous studies, a new doctrine has been formed - anthroposophy. Its founder was R. Steiner. He claimed to be the dominant of the planet. The birth, development and death of a person is necessary only for one purpose. It consists in serving the mineral world. Man and other organisms ensure the existence of compounds with the task of people Steiner saw in transforming the mineral world into a work of art. He said that electricity indicates the occult depths of matter. When people rebuild the mineral world, in accordance with their inner perception, the planet will cease to develop in the physical sense. It will move to another state in which the compacted form will reflect everything that the mineral Earth once was. Steiner quotes Goethe's words in support when he talked about the Spirit of the planet. At the same time, the scientist points out that there is a silime form of life on the moon. He says that there was also a development plan on this celestial body. In each case, relative to each planet, there is a different scheme. The atoms left after the cessation of physical development became the basis for the creation of the Earth. A plan is being developed for the planet. Reaching the end of development, its atoms move to another celestial body. As a result, a silicon form of life may occur on Venus, Mars, Jupiter.
Cycle in nature
Silicon life forms act as the initial and ultimate goal of the existence of organisms on the planet. A number of major scientists suggest seeing the meaning of human civilization solely in the participation of the cycle in the natural environment. While people were collectors and hunters, they acted as members of natural biocenoses. However, civilization has a number of specific features. According to V. B. Malakhov, a man extracts from the bowels what came out of the cycle. For example, it's oil, coal, gas. At the same time, a person returns carbon to the ground in the most accessible form for organisms. By extracting metals from the bowels, people saturate industrial wastewater with them, returning spent compounds to the oceans in a form acceptable to its inhabitants. This, in fact, is the biosphere task of mankind.
"Dark Matter"
According to some scientists, it can also act as a form of life. The term researchers refers to a hypothetical substance that fills about 27% of the universe. Physicists invented this concept to explain some contradictions. According to experts, this matter can be reasonable and interact with a person. However, this fabric is located at the quantum level. This explains the fact that many years of space exploration did not show scientists any satisfactory evidence of the existence of another life on planets.
Conclusion
In popular medical publications you can find research results indicating that the human body needs about 40-50 mg of silicon every day. Its key function is to maintain normal metabolism. It has been established that many diseases of the body could not exist if it had enough silicon. In this regard, it is believed that the health of human ancestors has been undermined by products that prevent its assimilation. Many of them are still included in the diet today. These are, in particular, meat, white flour, sugar, canned food. Mixed food is delayed in the digestive system for up to 8 hours. This means that during this time the body digests products using most of the enzymes. In such a situation, as I. P. Pavlov, the body cannot ensure sufficient energy supply to other organs - heart, kidneys, muscles, brain. From this, the researchers draw one important conclusion. They say that probably Steiner, who says that the meaning of human existence is to serve minerals, is right.
Even official scientists recognize the possibility of silicon life. Silicon is the second most common element on Earth after oxygen. The most common compound of silicon is its SiO2-silica dioxide. In nature, it forms the mineral quartz and its varieties: rhinestone, amethyst, agate, opal, jasper, chalcedony, carnelian. Silicon dioxide is also sand. The second type of natural silicon compounds is silicates. These include granite, clay, mica.
Why can silicon be the basis of life?
Silicon forms branched compounds like hydrocarbons, that is, silicon is a source of diversity. Silicon powder burns in oxygen, that is, silicon is an energy source. Chips and, accordingly, computers have been created on the basis of the semiconductor properties of silicon - that is, silicon can be the basis of the mind.
Could there have been a silicon life on our planet in the past?
I could.
The trunks and branches of stone trees were found. Some of them are precious. Finds are numerous all over the world. There are so many trees in some places that it's different than you can't call it a forest. The structure of wood is preserved in stone trees.
There are fossil stone bones of animals, including precious stones. The finds have a bone structure preserved. Teeth and toothholes are structured in the opal jaw of the animal.
Many mountains resemble stumps of huge stone trees.
There are a large number of stone shells lying in the steppes - ammonites.
In general, there are many examples of fossil silicon creatures. If someone is satisfied with the official explanation of the process of replacing carbon with silicon in fossil finds due to irrigation of wood or bone with mineral water with further transformation into a precious stone, do not read this article further.
Suppose for ourselves that silicon life is a fact. And it preceded carbon life on our planet. Then the next question: what did she look like?
Like the carbon form of life, the silicon form of life should be structured from the simplest unicellular forms to evolutionarily (or divinely, whoever likes) complex and mind-in-duponed forms. Complex life forms consist of organs and tissues. It's like now. The idea of silicon life as a monolithic piece of granite endowed with the spirit of God are quite naive. It's like a living puddle of oil or a living piece of coal.
The organ set is universal for any creature, both carbon and silicon. These are control (nerve system), nutrition, toxin secretion, frame (bos, etc.), environmental protection (skin), reproduction, etc.
Animal tissues consist of different cells and look different. Bone tissue, muscle, epidermis, etc.
Fabrics consist of different substances: fats, proteins, carbohydrates. Tissues have different contents of various substances from carbon to metals.
All this visible farm functions according to physical and chemical laws. Laws common to a living organism, computer, car.
Let's go further: something happens and silicon life is dying. Carbon life is nolonging on its ruins. A logical question: where are the bodies of dead silicon animals, plants, fish, etc.? Stumps and stone trees have already been mentioned. Suitable, but there is little quantity and variety. I would like to see a complex life form consisting of different organs and tissues. For example, like an animal. With skin, muscles, liver, vessels and heart.
So: the silicon ispoline died. Time has passed. What will we see?
Let's draw an analogy: a mammoth died. What will we find in many, many years? Usually the frame (bos), less often the skin, less often muscles. The brain and parenchymal organs are extremely rare.
And now let's look for silicon frames in the world around us. They are scattered all over the world.
These are ancient and colonial buildings!
I suggest taking a pause and calmly disassembling the difference between a certain building and a static organism such as coral or mushroom on a silicon basis.
Bricks, beams, blocks, ceilings are structural units of frame fabric such as bones of modern animals or a turtle shell. They have been preserved well. Leather - walls with plaster. Sewerage is an excretory system. Heating pipes are a circulatory system. Fireplace system - food. A bell tower with a bell is an organ of speech or vestibular apparatus. Metal fittings or wiring are a nervous system.
There was a brain under the roof. Let's remember the expression "the roof went." The brain rotted from time to time along with the internal organs located in the interior. And all this rubbble in the form of clay covers ancient and colonial buildings on the first floor. It is no longer possible to allocate the structural unit (cell) of soft tissues.
Total: structurally, any building corresponds to the functions of a living being. There is a frame, food, selection, etc. This will be confirmed by plumbers and chairmen of housing and utility enterprises.
Any materials and devices of the building can be synthesized by a living organism. Iron and stone pipes, cables, roofing iron, glass, all these construction details are many times easier than the devices of a living organism. Living organisms use any trace elements and their compounds available on the planet. And they synthesize devices for any purpose, complexity and composition. As long as it was necessary.
Locks, lamps, electric shockers, aircraft, submarines. That is, stamen pistils, firefly, electric stingrays, birds, fish. It's all nature.
Any man-made device is not an exclusive creation of the engineer's brain, but is a copy of a natural device. And vice versa. Accordingly, the composition of the roofing iron, the shape of a stable and roomy silicon structure in the form of a house are not a human monopoly. The solutions are universal for nature and for the engineer.
Ancient buildings, aka silicon creatures, multiplied and then grew just like modern plants and animals. The cells were divided, differentiated into specialized fabrics in the form of walls, roofs, floors, reinforcement. And from ryos like dolmenders turned into St. Isaac's cathedrals.
I will not dwell on physiology, including ways of reproduction of silicon creatures due to the complexity of the topic. There was a substance similar to water in carbon life. For example, sulfuric acid. There were silicon analogues of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. There was an oxidizing agent like oxygen. For example, chlorine. There was a Silicon Krebs cycle.
An amusing picture is that looks like a mixture of Christian hell and the movie Alien. This whole life was bubbling at a certain, apparently high temperature. And it turned into monuments of ancient and colonial architecture.
Can you say that ancient buildings meet human physiological needs? Of course not.
Older (according to official history) such as pyramids or Greek temples do not correspond to people in terms of size or function at all. Why do ancient Greeks need them? For a religious cult? Funny. No, you can do it if you already have a ready-made building. But to build these giant mahinas with bare hands and in tunics?
Buildings for a technological process unknown to modern science? It's also doubtful.
Later buildings, such as colonial Peter, can be adapted for housing. But it wasn't very good with the size of windows, doors either. They say they built them under giants.
In Paris, St. Petersburg and other cities, there are no clear traces of its builders and the construction process from the design stage to delivery to the contractor. All these colonial buildings came out of nowhere. All these colonial buildings are located around the world, including in places where there was no intelligible industry at all.
The technology of working with granite is absolutely unclear. More or less intelligible explanations are: alien superlasers in LAistov or granite casting. Both are beyond the possibilities of modern civilization.
The structure of monolithic granite products is heterogeneous. Something like plaster made of the same but denser granite falls off from monolithic columns. How the skin peels off. The Pillar of Alexandria looks prefabricated through the filters. Or maybe it's something like one-year rings in the course of growth?
Ancient and colonial buildings are the skeletons of dead creatures of the silicon form of life. People settled in them. They studied the golden proportions of ancient creatures, engineering schemes. Later, the composition of the materials was dismantled. We learned how to make copies ourselves. That's how construction was born.
Naturally, not all old buildings are silicon creatures. The border is quite clear - there should be no wood as load-bearing structures, floors. Well, wooden doors, window frames and floor were quite comfortable in the existing silicon skeleton.
Houses in colonial cities like St. Petersburg are all different. Absolute sorting in terms of the size of the houses themselves, the height of the floors, the shape of the facade. At the same time, there is no gap between the houses on the streets, they stand wall to wall. There is a soft natural harmony in the overall layout of cities. All this resembles a colony of living creatures. Maybe like corals, or mushrooms. Cathedrals - well, just poured mushrooms.
Statues in ancient buildings
The skeletonies are a late human new business stuffed in prehistoric skeletons. The statues are structureless. This is a monolithic array of material with an external shape copied from humans and inhumans. And living beings are structural, as noted earlier. The fossil finds are also structural. That is, in petrified trees, rings are visible on the section. The found stone jaws with teeth and bones are inside the body. They are a structural element in themselves.
Could silicon animals and silicon people be similar to modern ones? Of course. Findings of animal bones allegedly petrified to the state of precious stones (including jaws) and tree trunks confirm this probability.
I will return to the religious cult in ancient and colonial temples. You have noticed that according to all data earlier, the effectiveness of all cults was much higher. Now, in my opinion, it has fallen to zero, except for self-zombusing. Most likely, it's about the following. After the death of a silicon creature, its etheric, astral, etc. shells do not leave the dead physical body immediately. As well as carbon creatures. The energy of these shells was used by the servants of the cult for their rituals, settling inside the corpse. Now, apparently, forty days have passed by the standards of silicon life. There's no more magic. I hope everyone went to heaven.
When did the end of the silicon era happen?
Probably according to the calendar. At night, 7525 from the creation of the world. Can silicon skeletons stand for 7,525 years? Why not? We didn't see them 7525 years ago. And accordingly, we do not represent the initial quality. Nothing bad has happened over the past 200 years.
How long did the silicon era last?
The Silicon era is the crust of the earth. The Earth's crust consists of rocks, the main element of which is silicon. The thickness of the crust is 5-30 kilometers. And silicon creatures developed these kilometers with their activities. Just as carbon creatures are now developing fertile soil. So far, 3 meters have been worked. Feel the difference.
Sunset of the Silicon Age
When immersed in the soil of the silicon world, that is, the Earth's crust, the temperature rises. They warm the bowels of the earth. At a depth of 10 kilometers, it's about 200 degrees. That's probably the climate in the silicon world. Accordingly, the materials had different physical and chemical properties than they are now. Over time, the bark thickened as a result of the accumulation of silicon biomass (soil). The surface moved away from the hot bowels of the earth and its temperature dropped. At the moment, the heat of the earth's bowels does not reach the surface. The only source of heat is the sun. The global cooling of the surface of the earth's crust has made the living conditions unacceptable for the silicon world. Silicon light is over. Everyone died from the cold.
Where did the remains of the other creatures go?
On the basis of silicon, nature synthesizes a bunch of precious and semi-precious stones. That's what Flint's what Flinted life was doing. Highly organized silicon creatures consisted of highly organized silicon in the form of precious stones. And common sand, granite and clay are a building material, the basis of life.
After the end of silicon light, precious and semi-precious raw materials (i.e. corpses of highly organized silicon creatures) were barbarously looted. There are unnecessary sand, granite and clay. Traces of robbery are everywhere. See the topic "Earth is a big quarry."
Silicon world and oriental philosophy
Eastern religions describe the process of descent of spirit into matter. The incarnate spirit passes through reincarnation the world of stones, plants, animals, people and finally becomes a god. If you're lucky. There's something harmonious and fair about it. But I suspect that the world of stones is not modern cobblestones, but the world of silicon creatures. The planet was a large garden of living stones. And the task of the silicon world was to create the foundation of life - the Earth's crust with a mass of minerals.
The next world that has emerged on the ladder of progress is carbon. And this is the world of plants. And it does not matter that according to the local classification of modern science, plants are the biological kingdom of multicellular organisms whose cells contain chlorophyll. And it doesn't matter that Vasya or John doesn't have a photosynthesis process. Carbon life is the second step from below on the path of development. In a global philosophical sense, we are all just plants. And the planet is a big plantation. The task of plantation is to create biomass, to be food for animals and humans. The fact that we actively eat elusive beings in every sense is an unpleasant but quite realistic conspiracy idea.
Why are creatures elusive, invisible? Because we are static, slow on a universal scale. We are plants. We do not have time to see animals eating us coming from the following worlds in terms of development.
The so-called man is the main useful plant on the planet. It should be cultivated in theory. But judging by the state of affairs in the world, our planet-plantation was left without human owners, and is actively robbed by wild animals from higher worlds. Barbarians are everywhere, even among the gods.
The bark is gutted for many kilometers. The previous level of the Earth's crust is the top of the Himalayas. Normal people have been almost completely replaced by genetically modified ones, multiplied to seven billion and etheric energy (gavah) is downloaded from them. Under the guise of local and global wars, there is literally consumption of people.
Precious stones and metals have magical properties. All the magic was seized with buckets of huge rotary excavators. Witchcraft and magic from everyday practice have become a fairy tale. And human society began to resemble a hornet colony.
And eternal battle! We only dream of peace.

Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council:

The Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council (CDIAC) was established in 2010 by the Board of Governors to provide input to the Board on the economy, lending conditions, and other issues of interest to community depository institutions. Unlike the Federal Advisory Council, CDIAC is not a statutory body, but it performs a parallel function in providing first-hand input to the Board on the economy, lending conditions, and other issues. Members are selected from representatives of banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions serving on local advisory councils at the twelve Federal Reserve Banks. One member of each of the Reserve Bank councils is selected to serve on the CDIAC, which meets twice a year with the Board in Washington.

Record of Meeting Community Depository Institutions Advisory Council and the Board of Governors November 17, 2022:

Overall Economic Conditions: How do Council members assess overall economic conditions in their regions?

• Council members reported strong economic conditions as measured by spending, though there are concerns that strong inflationary pressures may at some point undermine real spending.
• Council members, particularly in the Fourth District, reported that the return of production and manufacturing from offshore locations is helping the economy with significant investment in manufacturing and capital expenditure.
• Despite generally strong conditions, Council members reported stark differences in economic impact between the “haves” and the “have nots.”
• Wealthier parts of their markets are not yet slowed by inflationary pressures, while lower-income households are feeling the squeeze.
• The possibility of a recession remains a concern, but so far declines in overall spending are not evident.
• Despite being vocal about price increases, consumers are continuing to spend.

Inflation: Are the prices o for products and services rising (or declining) more or less quickly than in the recent past? Are the prices for the products and services Council members purchase rising more or less quickly?:

• Council members generally reported that inflationary pressures remain strong, with prices rising rapidly.
• Some Council members reported early signs of inflation softening for some goods in certain sectors.
• Despite rising prices, customers and businesses have not yet pulled back on spending.
• Council members summarized sentiment as a lot of optimism about the economy coupled with much uncertainty about the future because there is an expectation that inflation will have a long tail that has yet to be fully absorbed.
• Drivers of inflation remain mixed.
• Wage inflation is one key driver, particularly in the services sector, with employees expecting higher wages to keep up with inflation. (this is not slowing down presently either! https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/127pdic/inflation_alert_the_feds_preferred_inflation/)
• Firms that want to retain talent in a tight labor market anticipate salary increases of 5-9% next year.
• Council members reported double-digit increases in insurance costs, with some insurers exiting markets along the Gulf Coast.
• Supply chain issues persist and are another significant contributor to inflation, particularly in the manufacturing and goods-producing sectors.
• The drought in the Midwest and the low Mississippi River levels also contributed to a supply chain backup of both agricultural commodities moving downstream to export markets and raw materials moving upstream for manufacturing and agricultural production. (we have talked about this previously: https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/comments/zzh5jx/inflation_alert_from_the_transportation/)
• This had a strong effect in several Districts that are reliant on the upper parts of the river.
• Council members also highlighted lingering effects of supply chain issues— some of which were caused by labor shortages—from the pandemic on construction.
• Some areas are experiencing a shortage of concrete and electric transformers (with one-year wait times).
• The apparent randomness of these shortages is likely contributing to further uncertainty among households and businesses.
• In other cases, Council members noted that some firms have realized that they are able to maintain margins by raising prices.
• Council members reported that auto dealers still have strong pricing power with high prices and little negotiation.
• Most businesses are passing a high percentage of cost increases downstream to consumers, which generally was not the case last year.
• However, Council members have observed early signs of a potential shift in this dynamic. For example, market-dominant retailers such as Walmart and Target are now pushing back on vendors, seeking justification for further price increases.
• The most acute effects of inflation are being felt in rural and lower-income areas, with higher gas and diesel prices squeezing the wallets of consumers and businesses, particularly smaller farm operations and other industries that use diesel-fueled equipment.
• While prices for some commodities (such as aluminum and lumber) have fallen, that softening has often been offset by higher transportation costs.
• Prices for trucking and transportation have declined but remain high—and those higher prices are being passed on to consumers.
• The Council also reported that some consumers and businesses have become more focused on interest rates than inflation, which has resulted in real estate sales and development and capital expenditures being compressed by the higher interest rates.

Housing: How have home prices changed in recent months? Have there been any changes in overall housing activity in Council members’ Districts?:

• Strong demand coupled with low inventory have kept home prices stable.
• However, price appreciation has slowed or even declined somewhat in parts of the country.
• Buyer activity has slowed down as mortgage rates have increased.
• Council members reported that the days of frenzied buying are over.
• Buyers are taking more time, and homes are sitting on the market longer.
• However, conditions have not returned to pre-pandemic levels.
• The shortage of available homes continues to constrain the market for buyers.
• Many homeowners sitting on sub-4% mortgage rates are essentially locked into their homes and will be unwilling to sell their home if it means that their next mortgage will be near 7%.
• This shortage has had cascading impacts across markets. Housing remains unaffordable for many low- to moderate income and first-time homebuyers who are now locked into the rental market.
• While multifamily construction has been strong, Council members reported that rental rate increases continue to exceed overall inflation in many markets.
• Housing shortages are also impacting the upper end of the income distribution in some markets. For example, Council members noted that some hospitals are having challenges filling vacancies because of a lack of housing suitable for higherincome health professionals.
• Multifamily construction has been so strong that some Council members reported that municipalities have had to tap the brakes on new developments because municipal infrastructure cannot keep up.
• Meanwhile, single-family construction is slowing as builders finish their existing projects without lining up new ones because profit margins are too narrow or unpredictable to justify new builds.
• Buyers are choosing to purchase larger homes instead of ordering premium finishes and features that in the past have increased profit margins for builders.
• There is some variability by region. In-migration from high-cost-of-living metro areas into rural areas has driven up costs in those rural areas while urban areas see softer prices.
• In a mixed bag, some Districts reported fewer institutional investors and house flippers buying up properties, while others continue to see an influx of investors for multifamily housing based on strong demand (and increases in rental rates.

Labor Markets: How have the labor markets in which Council members operate changed in recent months? In particular, please assess the degree o f job loss or gain (and, in which industries). Please comment on the changes to wages that Council members have observed over the pastyear.:

• All Council members reported that increased labor costs and the labor shortage are affecting both their financial institutions and their business customers.
• The labor shortage is a primary concern of bankers and a major driver of inflation. Businesses that are not raising their wages fast enough to retain workers and attract new ones are losing their employees to other firms.
• There was broad consensus that several industries, such as the healthcare and daycare industries, are facing more severe shortages.
• Shortages in these sectors are having broader impacts.
• With fewer options for daycare or eldercare, more prime-age workers are being forced to remain on the sidelines.
• In some parts of the country, daycare now costs nearly $500 a week, which is typically much more than what many young employees with children make.
• The price and availability of daycare will remain a major barrier for labor force participation.
• Even manufacturers with capital and contracts in hand cannot find workers to fulfill the contracts.
• Council members noted that the labor shortage is not transitory and will be a reality for businesses into the longer term.
• The decline in labor force participation has been a long-term demographic trend exacerbated by the pandemic and the transmission path of inflation to wages.
• Council members also noted that employers are still digesting the (1) ability for workers to work remotely and (2) increased participation of younger generations in the workforce that have different views, compared to older generations, of their relationship with work.
• Several Council members noted an increased desire for immigration reform to offset the structural shortage of labor.
• The opioid crisis was also named as a key driver of labor shortages in some areas, and a major causal factor in many geographies with the lowest labor force participation rates.
• Most businesses remain hungry for labor.
• In reaction to these pressures, Council members reported increased investment in equipment to make up for labor shortages across sectors.
• However, Council members also reported the beginning of layoffs in some markets in their region, which is a harbinger of a slowing economy.

Consumer Confidence: Are Council members seeing any signs o fimproved (or declining) consumer confidence? What is the outlookfor consumer credit losses?:

• Council members reported a disconnect between consumer behavior and reported confidence.
• While inflation has reduced confidence, consumers are still spending.
• However, increases in spending on services has been hampered by labor shortages in that sector.
• The consumer confidence divide is vast between the “haves” and “have nots”
• For those on the upper end of the income distribution, folks are complaining but still spending.
• There is greater confidence among consumers with higher levels of discretionary income, who, as a result, feel insulated from rising prices.
• Holiday spending, possibly driven by pent-up demand, is expected to remain strong for these consumers. Purchasing activity may not fully reflect consumer pessimism.
• For low- to moderate-income households, rising utility bills and food prices have eaten into both their savings and purchasing power.
• Energy prices are a major concern as we enter winter, and the cost of heating oil is a concern in the Northeast.
• It was estimated that for minimum wage workers, 70% of their money goes to essentials (e.g., food, energy, transportation). Lowerincome households are cutting back on discretionary spending, and in many cases, they are being forced to make difficult choices about which monthly essentials they can afford.
• Council members reported that consumer delinquencies remain minimal but are starting to slowly creep up.
• Most institutions expect losses to increase in 2023.
• Some Council members have observed significant deterioration in the mobile home portfolio and others have observed some weakness in auto loans.
• While delinquencies remain relatively low, lower used-car prices have resulted in losses for repossessed autos.

Deposits: What changes have Council members seen in local deposit markets? Describe these changes by segment (retail, small business, and corporate). What are Council members' expectations with respect to deposit levels?:

• Some Council members reported an outflow of deposits on the commercial side, but most Council members have not yet seen a significant decline in their consumer deposit base.
• However, consumer deposits are expected to run off soon, following a strong growth during the pandemic.
• Deposits have been surprisingly sticky even as nonbanks offer higher interest rate CDs and money market accounts to attract deposits.
• Banks have not repriced deposit rates in parallel with the rapid rate hikes of the Federal Reserve, and Council members reported wide variability in the degree that banks have raised deposit rates.
• Marketing, social media, and consumer pressures are expected to contribute to an acceleration of deposit pricing pressures.
• Council members noted that differences in bank deposit rates stem from how institutions managed the excess liquidity gained during the pandemic.
• Banks that more aggressively deployed deposits into investments are now competing for deposits to maintain liquidity, while banks that invested less aggressively are now sitting comfortably at current deposit levels.
• Council members expect deposits to continue running off in the future, partly due to higher rate alternatives but also because of higher levels of spending as a result of inflation.
• Personal savings rates have fallen significantly and are currently below their pre-pandemic levels, though Council members did report an outflow of deposits into treasury bonds and brokerage accounts.
• Businesses are using their cash to pay down their lines of credit that have much higher rates now and are drawing down commercial deposit levels.

Potential FHLB borrowing limitations and Cryptocurrency:

• Council members expressed concern about the ability of community institutions to continue to borrow from Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs) over the short term.
• Council members discussed current balance sheet trends, where most institutions saw a significant inflow of deposits during the pandemic and invested the funds in safe assets, such as treasuries and agency securities.
• Council members are also concerned about the impact the rate hikes are having on their bond portfolios, and, by extension, the increase in unrealized losses that flow through to tangible capital. Under Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) regulations, banks whose tangible capital becomes negative must receive written permission from their primary federal regulators to roll over or utilize new advances.
• Council members noted that bank capital regulations were updated almost 10 years ago to ensure that bank capital is (1) robust, (2) reflects modern banking and markets, and (3) can withstand stress during adverse economic and financial market conditions.
• Council members discussed the downside of using tangible equity, rather than regulatory capital, as a proxy for a bank’s health because the latter is a much more robust measure of risk.
• The Council requested that the Federal Reserve engage in communications with the FHFA and other banking agencies to avoid the risk of an administrative reduction in the ability to borrow from FHLBs, triggered by an exclusive focus on tangible capital, when an analysis of regulatory capital does not indicate the need to reduce FHLB borrowing.
• Council members reiterated their concern that compliance regulations will adversely affect how banks are lending in their communities, both in terms of product variety and innovation and in lending volumes.
• Council members discussed the continued fight against cybercrime and other scams, noting that the types of fraud are changing as criminals are getting smarter and more strategic.
• Council members feel that these are national issues that are not just affecting community depository institutions and large depositories.
• Council members believe that in addition to the fraud prevention practices they are employing, more should be done at the federal level to educate consumers.
• Council members continued to recommend that efforts be made to help community institutions streamline their due diligence process for shared vendors.
• In addition, the Council recommended further development of federal outreach programs designed to increase customer awareness of fraud and cybercrime.
• Council members reported that there have been many recent news stories related to increases in fraud in Person-To-Person (P2P) payment networks.
• They stressed that the fraud is real, and efforts should be made to mitigate risk and reduce depository institution and consumer losses. Council members noted that changes to Regulation E have been proposed.
• Currently, Regulation E provides protections for consumers for unauthorized transactions. There have been proposals to have the CFPB reinterpret Regulation E to include “fraudulently induced but authorized transactions.”
• This would protect consumers who are tricked into paying fraudsters.
• The payments are then authorized by the consumer, who later has second thoughts and wants to retrieve their funds.
• Expanding Regulation E in this manner would affect all consumer payment platforms, but especially P2P services where a lot of this fraud occurs.
• Increases in Regulation E liability could have a stifling effect on bank and credit union adoption of faster payments, including FedNow, due to the increased expense and lack of provisions for offsetting revenue to cover the risks.
• Financial institutions may slow down implementation, stop adoption, or even abandon existing P2P services. Some proposals suggest shifting liability to the receiving bank in these types of transactions, but that would also have a chilling effect on faster payments adoption.
• Right now, joining one of the faster payments networks in “receive only” mode is considered a safe way to get involved in faster payments, without fear of fraud risk.
• Shifting the liability from consumers to the receiving financial institution makes it less likely that the institution would participate in a faster payments network.
• Council members discussed recent developments in the cryptocurrency markets.
• There is strong interest in making these markets subject to robust regulations equivalent to what exists in the United States for securities and derivatives.
• Council members were agnostic about which agency—the CFTC or SEC—is authorized by Congress to conduct oversight.
