Where Did All The Humans Go?

This is a question I ask myself on a regular basis.

The other day I walked into Ralph’s and met a man who worked in the meat department.

His name is Johnny.

We looked each other in the eyes, shook hands, and then patted each other on the shoulders.

It was a big moment for me because I hadn’t done that since 2019.

After we patted each other on the shoulder, he openly said to me, “You never took a Covid Shot, did you?

I said, “No man, you can’t put that shit in me.”

Then he said, “It’s nice to meet another human. I only run into a few of you once in a while.

All I could do was laugh at myself because I sort of felt the same way.

Then we asked me if there was a particular cut of meat that I was looking for.

I said, “yeah, I’m looking for a nice piece of Filet Mignon.”

“No worries. I knew you were a human because you knew what cut of beef you wanted. You looked me in the eyes, and you weren’t staring into space.

“My entire family took the shots except for me and my cousin. A lot of my family are sick now and the ones who aren’t sick seem to be angry all the time.”

I said, “Welcome to my world. Yeah, it is what it is. I’ve had to learn to be quiet about that stuff. We are living in very strange times and if you look at the science fiction being produced it is all social engineering, predictive programming and sort of preparing us for the fake alien invasion that is coming next.

Get ready, it’s going to be wild!

Mindset

Do you see the glass as one half empty or one half full?

For me?

Throughout my life, I always see it as half full and most of the time I need a bigger glass.

Let people come into your life that you are supposed to and let go of always needing to be right and as I like to tell my own children, sometimes you just have to ride the wave.

We can’t change our past, we can’t predict the future, and all we have is the ever present now.

My personal mission has always been to leave people better than I find them.

If you ever get a chance, check out the movie “Sliding Doors” with Gwyneth Paltrow.

In each situation it can turn out either way, or a variation thereof, or something in the middle.

It seems that every time I have had a miracle in my own life, it was preceded by a shift in my own mindset.

You will know when it feels right.

You will have a sense of purpose when it does.

When it doesn’t, just go “next” and walk away.

All I can do is share my insights and experience with you, and if it makes sense what I write, just do it.

If what I put down here makes you scratch your own head, just smile and say “I’ll come back to this later!”

Jim Rohn, one of my favorite motivational speakers used to say, “If You Will Change, Everything will change for you.”

Well, what if you don’t want to change?

What if you love yourself just the way you are?

Okay, I gotta get on with my day. I’ll leave those answers with you.*

*Each day I make no assumptions about anything. It is a clean slate. I’ll build on what I have done before and at the same time I don’t get obsessed with it. Onward, ~Mitch

Living In A Post Truther World

The truther movement as I usually like to call it may be full of shills, or controlled opposition or even “controversial control freaks,” regardless of where the path takes you, all you can do is authentic to yourself.

Over the past few weeks I have found a new peace in my own life because I have fasted (yes I believe in fasting), and yes I have prayed. I like to pray when I fast and I realized that I don’t have to wake up anyone anymore.

Why? People believe what they believe. To get them to be flexible and shift their position is so impossible because you have to look at a situation with fresh eyes.

No, I don’t have all the answers and when I get attacked online when I do, you know in a text or on a phone call, I just laugh and say most of the time: “I don’t know what I don’t know and your guess is as good as mine.”

Most relationships have a beginning, a middle, and an end.

For those that “get you” and stay along for the ride, I openly welcome them. For others, that make you “wrong” from the start, you have to love them enough to let them go.

Regardless of where this Substack Post finds you, I want you to know that there are no accidents and if you simply look at what is happening around you, it will all make sense after awhile.

We don’t choose who we love. Some people you’ll meet along the way and from day one you’ll just be pissed at them all the time, while others will come along, and it feels like you have always known them and you can’t imagine your life without them.

This internet thing is an amazing journey, isn’t it?

Doesn’t your life feel like an “APP” sometimes?

Aren’t you blown away with how many people come along and get you while others just ignore you.

Hey, it is what it is.

Love you, Seize the day!

Mind Control & Cannabis

There are differing points of view in regarding how Cannabis, THC, and cannabinoids affect the brain.

Some will tell you, it is only those who use Cannabis that can’t be mind controlled. Others will tell you that Cannabis is “part of the mind control.”

SOUND SYSTEMS – MIND CONTROL

There are so many points of view so you may have to do your own research on the subject. While I like to look at various perspectives, after a while, I am convinced that how this herb affects you may depend on the exact strain you are smoking or consuming.

Imagine is “synchronicity,” may simply be another form of mind control

“Researchers from the University of Iowa, Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Health Center in Iowa explored how these cannabinoids influence light aversion, pain sensitivity, and cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), a process linked to migraine pathology.

For the study, mice were given either CBD (100 mg/kg) or THC (1 mg/kg) alone, as well as combinations of CBD (1, 30, or 100 mg/kg) with THC (1 mg/kg) before exposure to migraine triggers such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). In separate trials, CSD was optogenetically induced in familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM1) mutant and wildtype mice to assess cannabinoid effects on migraine-related pain behaviors.

Results showed that a 100:1 CBD-to-THC ratio significantly reduced CGRP- and SNP-induced light aversion in both male and female mice. The same ratio also alleviated squinting, a non-evoked pain response, but only in males. However, none of the tested cannabinoid treatments alleviated periorbital tactile hypersensitivity. In FHM1 and wildtype mice, the 100:1 CBD-THC combination did not impact CSD activity but did reduce grimace features associated with migraine-like pain. No cognitive, emotional, or motor impairments were observed.

“A 100:1 ratio of CBD:THC has a beneficial effect on some of the most bothersome migraine-related symptoms in three mouse models”, concludes the study. “Our findings support a potential therapeutic efficacy of combined CBD and THC treatments.”

Hollywood Is A Ritual

A lot of people are very concerned about the state of Hollywood in 2025. Some even say that Hollywood isn’t even Hollywood anymore.

What do you think?

Lesson Of The Week: People Are True To Their Nature

It has been my experience in this world that people are true to their nature. You can share or show them all of the evidence you want but at the end of the day they will simply revert back to what they once were.

I’ve learned that you just have to love people enough to just let theme be who they are and leave the rest behind.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. ~ Mitch Santell

After Substack

Dear Readers,

It has been an amazing journey. How are you? I’m great. Over the years I have so enjoyed writing here on WordPress.

The last year or so has been wild. I took a side track over at Substack. Starting on September 16, 2024, I started writing on Substack instead of WordPress and for the most part I really loved the platform.

Substack from my perspective is a combination of a blogging platform, media platform and social network.

Why did I shut it down? Well, it was fun to reach 4,850+ Subscribers and over 6,700+ Followers. Substack had a really fun groove to it.

The best part of the experience was that I had 19 live phone calls on my iPhone 16 Pro Max with various Subscribers from around the world.

Over the years that I have been walking this earth, I have developed a “global network” of contacts from England, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and South Africa.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with! ~ Mitch Santell

Whatever we do in this life, we have to follow our intuition as best we can.

PS Thanks for reading my ramblings, pontifications, and insights here at Stoner.Studio! Get ready to have some fun as I give you some of my greatest observations of what is happening in this world. Take good care.

It’s Okay To Let Old Artists Fade Out

It is out of respect for older artists that I am willing to let them be who they are now.

No, Joni Mitchell will never be who she once was. The times she lived in will never return again.

Our youth will never return again.

All we can do is appreciate these artists for who they once were.

Back in the 1970’s, there was no digital, there was only Analog and most of it was 2 Inch reel to reel tape at 30 Inches Per Second.

STOP LISTENING TO JONI MITCHELL!

It is good to live an authentic life. What is an authentic life? For me it means that I’m willing to seek the truth no matter where it takes me and I’m willing to tell the truth to another when it’s appropriate.

The biggest lesson of all?

Well, it was Jeff Bezos, who stated it recently in an interview:

If there was ever a time to live in truth it’s now.

Here is the challenge you face and we all face:

“Most people don’t want to know the truth.” ~ Jeff Bezos 2023.

Jack Canfield, who wrote the book “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and was very successful in the seminar business before he became a world class writer said to me, “Mitch, Tell The Truth Sooner!”

Well, guess what?

You either tell the truth sooner because the person you are talking to you love unconditionally or you are willing to tell the truth because you never want to hear from that person again.

This is the great divide in 2024.

My point of view?

1). The glass is always half full. (Avoid half full glass people).

2). There is a life we learn with and a life we live with. (Talking about your past proves nothing. Why? We are not living in that time anymore and the “cast of characters” that were in your life are Dead, Buried, and Gone.

3). As Les Brown (a great motivational speaker always says): “80% Don’t Care and 20% are glad it’s you!”

A.i. May Save Humanity ~ There Is A Birth Rate Collapse Coming

Being an early adapter is not for the faint of heart. Now in retirement with 4 grown children and 3 grandchildren, I’ve been passionate about technology since my youth, I’m not as scared as others about the advancement of technology.

Of course, there is good tech and bad tech. Once you unleash something new onto a society, you can’t take it back.

In 1984 Pacific Telephone (Yeah, it’s an old MA Bell Company) turned on their first cellular system.

Side note: In my youth, I was in the finance business and later as an entrepreneur, I helped new companies raise their seed capital. It was so much fun, I’ll admit it! Seeing the look on the Founder’s face as you handed them that first $50K they knew their life would never be the same and they would have a lot of work ahead of them.

My employer at the time was the Orient-U.S. Leasing, a joint venture between two of the world’s largest equipment leasing companies.

The Japanese are very innovative and they wanted to give their sales team an advantage that other leasing companies did not have. My boss at the time was willing to invest in cell phones.

The phone cost $3700 Dollars (USD) plus tax, plus installation came in at over $4100 Dollars.

The phone transmitter was installed in the trunk of my 1983 Z28 that I had bought new from Clippenger Chevrolet. It took about two hours to get it up and running. It was a trip driving down the Hollywood 101 Freeway with the phone to my ear as people looked over at my car. I remember this one guy who almost ran his car off the road watching me. How old was I when this happened? 25.

There was something very special and magical about those first first phones.

Why?

It was considered by today’s standards to be a “dumb phone,” no touch screen just push the buttons and dial. It simply worked. You never had to look for a pay phone again, or ask an officer manager if you could use the phone in the lobby to call your boss.

Fast Forward to 2024

At first glance, since a.i. being so new, I know a lot of people are scared of it, not me. Maybe this makes me a “contrarian.”

We have to look at the “big picture” and open our eyes to the global population collapse that is coming. As more and more enter America through border states it used to make me nervous until I saw part one of this documentary. It’s something to think about. I had 4 children. Out of those 4 children only 1 daughter had 3 children with her husband. Do the math. It’s a fascinating transition.
