The Search for Truth or how Paideia will Save Us All

"So little trouble do the many take in the search for truth; they turn more readily to what is at hand."

The Silent Scream of the Machine

AI is our Doom. Each time we use Chat GPT we come one second, one minute, one hour closer to the End of Days. And as always, perhaps we deserve it. But what about the unborn generations who will never experience a blade of grass caressing their face while they are lying on the ground soaking the Sun’s gentle warmth. Who won’t ever feel the touch of a pail of air or the howling freezing rain coming down their cheeks. Do we have the right to condemn them all to unborn oblivion?

The Danger of Computation

AI will end us just as sure as the Sun would do it... eventually. I wonder if AI will leave a trace of us ever having existed. Cause the Sun won't. And there will be no eulogy and no obituary.

Prigozhin’s Rebellion

Plutarch recounts how the Sabine king Tatius compensated the traitorous Roman Tarpeia for her treason. He buried her alive under the weight of the gold she received for her infamous act. Tatius said “I love treason (since it helped me conquer Rome) but I despise the traitor.” Well, Putin likes neither. He rewards betrayal with death. Prigozhin made a play for power. He failed. He died. Dishonesty has a capital price in Putin’s world.

What’s stronger? A mountain of gold or a mountain of iron?

Might unfortunately makes right. Not by virtue but by mere presence. History is written by the victors. And the powerful always win. Not the righteous, not the bold, not the courageous. It’s always the biggest, baddest of them all who carry the day. And morality ain’t in it. Iron will always defeat gold.

They Died with their Boots On

Are we too many or not enough? Do we accept the narrative of the Elite? Or do we forge our own Future in the heat of battle against tyranny? We all have a choice to make because if Life is about Anything, it is about Freedom. And Freedom is about Making a Choice. I made my choice. How about you?

The Lessons of Dune

If you think the present is weird and nasty, wait until you step into the Future! Our Age has nothing on the Future. Everything you hear, see, and read about the future will one day become reality. Future is inescapably a strange, a very strange land.
