What does this note prove?
Nothing.
Overall, it fits in with a pattern I have described before.
This becomes the purpose of my blog
In this blog-post, I observe details that again make me wonder about a larger issue
Long time ago, purchased a copy of the Kindle version of the "Silo" trilogy of books by author Hugh Howey.
There is a streaming-video series on AppleTV based on those books and season 3 begins in a few days.
Not planning on viewing it when it begins the new season. Presently, planning for maybe sometime around after the start of season 2 of "Dark Matter", based on the novel by Blake Crouch and also on AppleTV
So, long ago, began reading the novels. Made it about halfway through the second book and abandoned it.
While back, picked it up at the point I left off.
Abandoned it again after reading a few pages.
Now, just a few minutes ago, thinking I wanted to find something that would not cause me to make another blog-post, I started reading it again.
About two pages later and I knew I had to make a blog-post.
Every single trivial detail I encounter when observing stuff people are doing and I have to study it - forced to in my mind

The power of my time traveler journal.
Since every topic I write about in my time traveler journal must come true - because I take the journal with me when I make my next time traveler jump to the past time period of 3 March 2003 - then everything I write in this note must come true. As measured by the clock on my internet-connected desktop computer, precisely ten minutes after the time stamp on this post, which I make from Washington state, the Sun, also known as Sol, the star that is the center of our solar system here on the planet Earth, which is my current location, will die. That will happen precisely ten minutes after the time stamp on this web log note. Since the time for light to travel to the planet Earth from our Sun takes about eight to nine minutes to reach our atmosphere, and thus register in our human senses, then that truth of my power as a time traveler will be established.

Silo (series)
From Wikipedia
Silo is a series of post-apocalyptic science fiction books by American writer Hugh Howey. The series started in 2011 with the short story "Wool", which was later published together with four sequel novellas as a novel with the same name. Along with Wool, the series consists of Shift, Dust
The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a self-sustaining subterranean city with 144 floors. No records of the time before the Silo remain. All residents of the Silo are taught that the outside world is toxic and deadly, and the Silo's cardinal rule is that anyone who expresses a desire to go outside must be sent there to clean the external sensors with a wool cloth. Those sent outdoors invariably clean the sensors as instructed, but die within minutes, reaffirming to the Silo residents that the outside is uninhabitable.

Shift
Shift is the second arc of the series, and consists of books 6 through 8: Legacy, Order, and Pact. It is a prequel to the Wool arc.
In 2049, freshman Congressman Donald Keene is recruited by Senator Paul Thurman for the CAD-FAC (Containment and Disposal Facility) project, ostensibly an underground repository for the world's nuclear waste to be constructed in Fulton County, Georgia. Donald, who has an education in architecture, is tasked with designing a self-sustaining shelter, a Silo, that will be built near the CAD-FAC for facility workers to use during emergencies.
In 2052, the CAD-FAC is completed and the site above it hosts the Democratic National Convention. Donald and Thurman are present for the opening ceremonies when a nuclear blast destroys Atlanta, and they and other attendees are ushered into the CAD-FAC. Thurman reveals that CAD-FAC was a cover for World Order Operation Fifty (W.O.O.L.), an initiative to preserve humanity in the event the species was threatened with extinction. Nuclear detonations have scourged the Earth's surface, and it will not be safe to resettle it for 500 years.
The shelter consists of 50 total Silos. They are managed by Silo 1, which houses Operation Fifty co-leaders Thurman, Erskine, and Victor, and other key personnel such as Donald. While 49 Silos have generational populations, Silo 1's inhabitants are cycled in and out of cryogenic stasis every few decades to work six-month shifts guiding Operation Fifty through the centuries. The other Silos suffer internal rebellions of varying intensity every couple decades. Major rebellions are treated with "resetting": the population is reduced, the remaining residents are given amnesia-inducing medication, and the computers are wiped.
