The world today has been revealed to be very different from the world we thought we lived in pre-Covid. It's also not at all clear in which direction it is headed - clearly some directions are better than others, and different groups are certainly headed in different directions, but overall the end result is almost impossible to determine - the situation is just too complex for the average human to investigate, analyse, and draw appropriate conclusions.

Especially when it comes to the interplay between trump, Netanyahu, the USA, Israel, City of London, and the global oligarchs of the World Economic Forum and Silicon Valley. And I'm sure we can add in the United Nations and global central bankers to the mix somewhere.

Brendon O'Connell introduced his view of this "death by complexity" to those of us who were bold enough to seek to follow his train of thought.

To add to the mix it now appears that the Trumpian "ballroom" may actually have hidden depths ...

Yup, for the times they are a-changing ...

The AI Trap, or the Trap for AI?

AI is developing at breakneck speed ...  will it be a force for good, a force for evil, or a damp squib that would need all the water in all the oceans on earth to meet its insatiable cooling needs?!

Well, that last problem may slow it down a bit, but isn't in reality likely to stop it any time soon, at least not whilst the central bankers have power over the money supply and who gets it.

The future for AI in fact looks increasingly assured as governments of all stripes increase the complexity of the legal systems, information systems, health systems, and official systems of all kinds so that mere mortals no longer have sufficient lifespan to devote themselves to living within all the ever-multiplying rules and regulations whilst simultaneously trying to earn a living and bring up the next generation(s). AI is increasingly being seen as the answer to understanding what we can and cannot do.

But AI can also become the ultimate censorship regime, policing what we can and cannot access on the internet. Without it ever being obvious. 

No doubt it could also in time educate our children, thus lightening the load on those parents who choose to allow it to do so ...

But what if there is an alternative?

What if we could simply abolish top-down government, and establish a bottom-up government of the people, by the people, and for the people?

Such a concept has over the years become so unfamiliar as to be readily dismissed as impossible ...   but is there any realistic alternative?

When Christ was asked by the lawyer "what is the greatest commandment", he is reported to have summed up the whole complex panoply of laws and regulations in just a couple of sentences.

Go figure.

 

Deep Dive with Brendon O'Connell

Brendon O'Connell is Hard Going. Period.

He's not for everyone. In fact, he's only for the intrepid (which is why I've taken so long to seriously listen to him - I'm very much at the lower end of "intrepid"!). 

And I'm only just beginning to decipher his erratic rhetorical mood swings ...

And if you want a polite presentation, look elsewhere. Now!

And (fair warning) he makes liberal use of fake AI generated material.

Oh, and you may need to read much of the rest of this site first so as to establish some backdrop to our current situation, else you miss the appropriate connections ...

But Pax Silica does seem to be important, so if you're feeling alert, brave, and ready for anything, pin back your ears eyeballs and mental faculties, fix yourself a strong coffee, and dive in.

And don't omit to read the article and links below the video ...   there's a wealth of stuff there.
