With many names from the bottom of the globe to the top, it has cost billions of lives and trillions of dollars, with each and every advancement predicted to cause an apocalypse end to us all.

To days artificial advancements how ever are different from previous human interventions. All previous inventions required humans in the loop. Artificial intelligence will not.

Therefore the compatibility of democracy with technological advancement is paramount to our very survival, not to mention democracy itself.

This time we got to get it right as there will not be a next time.

However given our inability to recognise our errors ( if we are to be successful with AI ) we need to install self correcting mechanisms that can id and correct mistakes as Ai becomes part of being human.

This time we will need a written constitution to protect the values that are common to all organisms that are organic

That requires a fundamental change in our thinking, ambitions, and our awareness to what makes life possible and worth living.

It’s not living life through the lens of a smartphone.

Not living life through pretend reality with in the metaverse, pandering to wealthy elites, platforms.

It’s not living life through our photos stored in the cloud.

It’s not social media which is desensitising us to world problems.

If artificial intelligence micromanages everything I do and think that will give it totalitarianism control over society.

Is that what we want?

Technology is rarely deterministic. As a as a binary all are nothing choice.

Having access to our personal life comes with a fiduciary duty to act in our best interests. This an ancient principle must be incorporated by law into all algorithms and applied to all platforms .

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
