    They Want You Relying On Artificial Intelligence So That You Will Lose Your Natural Intelligence

    Your rulers want you to depend on machines to do your thinking for you. They want you relying on AI to do your reasoning, researching, analysis, and writing. They want you to require easily controllable software to form your understanding of the world, and to express that understanding to others. They can control the machines, […]

  • What It Means to Be Human

    Various domesticated bird species usually run around the farm, including guinea fowl. We love our guinea fowl because they spend their days eating bugs: including ticks, flies, and other noxious pests. Guinea fowl are funny creatures, with colorful bald heads, speckled feathers, long legs, and oddly shaped bodies. We often view them as comic relief […]

  • Why I Don’t Rely on Hope

    “Where do you find hope?” “How do you sustain hope?” Those are probably the most common questions in response to more than three decades of writing and lecturing about today’s multiple cascading social and ecological crises. For years I struggled with how to answer, wanting to be honest but sensitive to the anxiety that typically […]

  • Geoffrey Hinton, AI, and Google’s Ethics Problem

    Talk about the dangers of artificial intelligence, actual or imagined, has become feverish, much of it induced by the growing world of generative chat bots. When scrutinising the critics, attention should be paid to their motivations. What do they stand to gain from adopting a particular stance? In the case of Geoffrey Hinton, immodestly seen […]

  • Why Would Anyone Ever Assume We’re Not Being Manipulated 24/7?

    So many people I know get very defensive when I discuss the plandemic machinations. They either can not accept that manipulation is the standard operating procedure for those in charge or that they would ever be gullible enough to be tricked on a regular basis. That’s when I tell them about the Gruen Transfer. Victor […]

  • On Human Nature: Thinking, Believing, and Seeing

    What is our very nature as human beings? Philosophers, poets, psychologists  and other human beings ad nauseam down through the ages have addressed that question. Is it presumptuous or arrogant of me to chime in with my two cents? Or make it three cents since I will “only” tackle three attributes of human nature; thinking, […]

  • Leaving Patholopolis

    With each crossing of the street, with the tempo and multiplicity of economic, occupational and social life, the city sets up a deep contrast with small town and rural life with reference to the sensory foundations of psychic life. — Georg Simmel1 Five thousand years ago, the first cities emerged as, and remain today, marketplaces–concentrated […]

  • Human Life Dissected

    No, I am not a surgeon. I am an organizational not a clinical psychologist. What, you might wonder, then, gives me any authority on this subject. Having written probably thousands of words about it over the decades probably gives me sufficient cache. Readers, you be the judge of whether I have overstepped my limits at […]
