How can our kids survive in this world we now see as saturated with ubiquitous AI?
We are under assault from a bunch of evil magicians, and I am not talking about the world of Harry Potter; I see them as practitioners of Surveillance Information Technology Hegemony, see what I did there? I call them S.I.T.H. lords (or just Tech Bros if you like), read more here: SurveillanceInformationTechnologyHegemony.com
Really this is all about, predatory business models; they make exaggerated claims that amount to magic, and take Arthur C. Clarke’s name in vain. Search up his 1962, book “Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible”, with his famous Three Laws, of which the third law is the best-known and most widely cited: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
But this isn’t magic, it is a conjuring trick of distraction, or more correctly mis-direction
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misdirection_(magic)
And I quote: ”In theatrical magic, misdirection is a form of deception in which the performer draws audience attention to one thing to distract it from another.”
How can our kids survive in this world we now see as saturated with ubiquitous AI? Better yet, to survive and thrive in this world of ubiquitous AI.
In order to achieve the misdirection, get folks to ask the wrong question. The right question to quote Matt Johnson is “ If you can’t change yourself … chage the world”. Are you with me in changing the world?
“Lonely Planet” Matt Johnson, as “The The”
Planet Earth is slowing down
Overseas, underground
Wherever you look around
Lord, take me by the hand
lead me through these desert sands
To the shores of a promised land.
You make me start when you look into my heart
And see me for who I really am.
If you can’t change the world. Change yourself.
If you can’t change the world. Change yourself.
I didn’t care if the sun didn’t shine
& the rain didn’t fall from the sky
I just cared about myself
From this world to the next
And from the next back to this.
By our actions we are bound.
We’re running out of love
running out of hate
running out of space for the human race.
Planet Earth is slowing down.
You make me cry when you look into my eyes.
And see me for who I really am.
If you can’t change the world. Change yourself.
If you can’t change the world. Change yourself.
And if you can’t change yourself…change the world.
I’m in love with the planet I’m standing on
I can’t stop
I can’t stop thinking of
All the people I’ve ever loved
All the people I have lost
All the people I’ll never know
All the feelings I’ve never shown.
The world’s too big. And life’s too short.
To be alone…To be alone.
Let’s not be alone; you are not alone, we are in this together. Come and join me: jabeonai.com
I am writing a book; and thinking of self publishing a rough draft in time for Christmas – The Scrapbook of Liquid Sunshine ( a rough draft for the Poetry of Liquid Sunshine) … scrapbookofliquidsunshine.com
