Intelligence often leads to a specific, dangerous kind of blindness and the first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.

True intelligence isn’t relying on what you believe you know, justifying mistakes you have made, or letting certainty cloud your judgement.

It’s never being afraid to ask questions and never relying on answers to be untested truths. In fact, it’s best to test those answers again and again.

With the capitalist system ( which is based on the accumulation of material wealth) it is no wonder that we have 12 people in the world that own more than all the rest.

And it is no wonder that it has produced the Esptine’s and Mandelson’s of this world and will continue to do so as greed is more and more concentrated by profit seeking algorithms.

Peter Mandelson, it seems, helped Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to make money.

That money was used to run Mr Epstein’s paedophilic prostitution ring. A cesspit pit of privilege for the rich.

The Epstein files also brings into question.

Is it time for the UK to replace the Royals with a written constitution.

The UK is often said to have an ‘unwritten’ constitution, but this is not strictly correct; it is largely written, but in different documents with there foundations on a century old document called the Magna Carta.

Magna Carta (translated as Great Charter) was an agreement reached at Runnymede in 1215 between King John and a group of English barons who had been part of a rebellion against the King.

It has never been codified; brought together in a single document.

Your worth isn’t defined by titles – it’s your actions and decisions that makes the difference.

To day the king main functions as head of state are to appoint the Prime Minister, and all the other ministers; to open new sessions of parliament; and to give royal assent to bills passed by parliament, signifying that they have become law. 

The cost of security for the royals to the tax payers is 150 million to turn a blind eye.

The Epstein affair does not just asks questions about the reputation of Andrew the Kings brother it shines a light on the institution called the Royal Family and all of us and the capability of the future.

For me, its significance goes way beyond that.

Its the public right to inquiry into the gilded circle surrounding these people and to demand the highest standards from those in the royal family office and from government ministers, otherwise there will be no accountability for their actions.

But it appears that this is incompatible with the power of wealth.

We are stepping into the world of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—AI that can think, learn, and apply knowledge across multiple domains, much like a human.

What is called the zombie internet and social media is already full of rubbish and filth and it will have devastating consequences.

We now have the first social media site expressly for AI agents (with no moral compass) not humans.

Ethical dilemmas are arising as AI will transition from a tool that assists us to an entity that makes its own decisions.

Such as should AI be allowed to form emotional bonds with humans?

——————-

The challenge will be ensuring AI aligns with human values, avoiding unintended consequences.

The way we develop, regulate, and interact with AI today will determine whether we enter a future of collaboration and prosperity or chaos and uncertainty.

AI will not replace human purpose—it will redefine it.

The worst part of all of this is that we as citizens are becoming increasingly invisible.

We now have virtually private net works that are avoiding regulations.

There is no doubt about it we are in a serious situation and need leaders not just the royals or the wealthy to start representing the sustainable, not social media, the gaming world, Netflix, apps, profit seeking algorithms and Trump and Putin profiteering from the lives of Ukraines.

The highest form of intelligence is being able to think about your own thinking.

Power doesn’t need permission.
