Insh’ Allah is a religious philosophy in one word. What will be will be.
We all have heard the word Ramadan but very few of us know what is involved.
Is it a form of Muslim masochism or a religious commitment, or a psychological thing proving a point about personal self control ?
The word it self means sun baked sand, intense scorching heat.
The Christian world has the equivalent called Lent.
Of course they are not the same but then I would hazard a guess that RAMADAN in Dubai is light years different than Ramadan in Iraq or Afghanistan or Palestine.
Ramadan is the holy month that the Quran was sent down from the heavens.
Waste is another Arabic word you keep hearing. It’s the equivalent of what we call networking in the west. It’s about as close as they get to democracy.
The Hajj is by far the biggest religious event in the world.
We might do well to remember that Muslims are Muslims but they are like us human beings.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS ISLAM IS NOT GOING TO GO AWAY. DESPITE WHAT THOSE IN THE WEST WHO FEEL THREATENED BY IT WOULD LIKE TO HOPE. NOR IS THE PROBLEM OF THE NON- MUSLIM WORLD’S RELATIONSHIP WITH IT GOING TO EVAPORATE OVERNIGHT.
( Seven minute read)
The main reason I believe this to be true is the United States support not just for Israel on one hand but it also continues to support the hardline and repressive Saudi Royal family that has spawned terrorists like Bin Laden over the past years.
With the war and recent genocide against Palestine Israeli has ensured a steady supply of Hamas for the future while Iraq has probably had probably already created hundreds of Bin Laden clones.
We must remember that 1600 years of religious debate and rivalry haven’t nor will it have any effect on the apparently permanent state of ISlAM.
The fastest growing religion now accounting for one in four of the world’s 6.6 billion people.
There is no axis of evil .
The pariah states have either closed shop (which is very unlikely ) or the USA under the TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is no longer seen as a threat by them.
I often wonder what these people ( who are supposed to be running the world?) think when they wake up.
Certainly, not Climate change, certainly not the Ukraine/Russian war, nor the Pakistan / Israel situation.
What ever they are thinking you can rest assured it’s short termed, local and of little importance when it comes to the problems the world.
We are now plagued with social media, sensationalism press, and wanking commentators, on everything, turning the whole lot into a product with 24/24, in your face advertising.
Soon it won’t matter as our ability for critical thinking is coming to an end with the arrival of General Artificial Intelligence.
Does anyone really give a FUCK ?
If they do they very much in the minority.

However it would be fair to say that the people of God no matter what religion do not listen to church leaders any more. The future will be more about managing oneself in a contradictory world.
The arguments are worn threadbare by centuries of sterile debate.
You would think by now that women should be given the right to be ordained priests in the Catholic Religion. That catholic bachelor lonely priest should be able to marry. This is the bane of the Catholic Church which is out of touch with not just its faithful but modern day life.,
Which by the way are not made in heaven but by two people on earth.
It’s the theological stances that the catholic religion take on things like gay marriage, contraception that are its root problem.
For me there is orthodoxy but it must have a larger dose of orthopaedix because more and more of us are making our own arrangements in search of simplicities.
And that simplicity is found in the warmth of love but sleep which is the brother of death mask the complexity of living a loving life.
We all know that the newly elected Pope is an American. His papacy therefore will be be summed up in one word and that is Trustworthiness.
With the likes of DONALD TRUMP who would you trust.
One needs a lie detector for the USA president while the pope is infallible,he cannot tell a lie.
With the arrival of the internet, the smart phone, and social media no one gives a fuck, we entering an age of indifference.
Another words were all to busy living our lives to start thinking we need to save our souls. Wars and AI, with a new discovery daily leaves little time for praying.
History is no longer the domain of scholars ferreting in dusty libraries.
Let’s hope this new pope is not an imperialist.
The trouble these days is how to believe, top down or bottom up.
Last to speak is the one I would listen to.
We are entering a new age of evolution with AI.
Unfortunately the same flawed logic exists to day as when pope innocent 111 was around who claimed sovereign dominion of life and death over all Christian .
He might have been right as no organic man is ever going to leave the this planet and establish a space colony.
There will have to be a marriage between us and AI.
Once that happens all religions idols and ideologies will go out the window. Each generation makes its own accommodation with the paradox of the next generation.
However there’s one thing for sure the faithful are no longer illiterate and uncritical and the dispensation of faith with the exercise of power, were the prerogatives only of the literate, they have no place in a world governed by thobgnical power
Why?
Because the problems of modern life which is becoming more and more centralism with AI is if the cogs of creation slip it has nothing to do with us. If you got a wolf by the ears. You can’t hang on and you can’t let go.
The world time now telescoped itself with social media from one crisis to another in a blink of an eye.
Ai its self could become a religion of free will becoming dangerous due to isolation with an impact on what is true and dignity.

Religious beliefs have separate us into Catholic, Jews, Muslims, Hinduism, Buddhism you name it down to Marxism or Zionism. From the Evangelicals Billy Graham to Micky Mouse.
When they don’t need evidenced they become miracles.
They have caused humans to destroy what is believable with beliefs that are absurd that have kill thousands down the centuries
The very word religion in many parts of the world creates division.
However it remains central to today’s society because humans need belonging, purpose and meaning to provide restraints.
This is why they worship supernatural power.
Eat a stake on a Friday and you went to Hell.
A Catholic belief.
Reincarnation.
A Hindu belief. That’s one of the oldest beliefs.
Cows are sacred, and slapping on Cows urine is good for you.
A Hindu belief
Noah ark was a wooden boat that carried two of every animal on earth.
A Jewish belief
Jewish are the chosen people.
A load of rubbish. They were exiled by god.
The only reason there are any Muslims, Jewish, Catholics, Hindus ect in the first instance, is because of an accident of birth.
Most of us have some holy book based in first century philosophy written by a god governing our livelihoods.
Islam beliefs are totally governed by submission to Allah who is god with Muhammad the messenger-for the Quran
Neither Allah or Jesus had last names.
Protestants designed their beliefs to suit their ideology.
Religion beliefs have killed millions and have been on the whole detrimental to the world but with Artificial Intelligence they will become less relevant. This is the world we are heading towards. Knowledge will be power.
How can the world stand aside and watch the destruction of PALESTINE.
Have we all become so desensitised with the amount of violence we consume daily that we no longer care providing it’s not us on the receiving end we turn a blind eye.
How can we allow a people to be killed by another group of people just because they live in or on a strip of land called Palestine.
If we give up on humanity we give up on a future.

The human race has always carried both beauty and grief in the same breath.
However these days our young generation’s are not fodder to stop or start wars that can no longer be won by human sacrifice – world war 1 & world war 11.
Israel was and still existence because of terrorism. To have religion as the bases of who owns what in the twenty century is absurd.
Hamas is only twenty years old.
Weaponising religious beliefs seems to be a Jewish art .
Any form of fundamentalist should be is unacceptable in the twentieth century.
It leads to indoctrination of young minds to a state of brain washing.
However if we’re to have a world worth passing on to the next generation we must come together to redefine what it is that makes any of have a real value during our short time on earth.
This question is thundering down the tracks in the form of climate change.
What is important is that the next generation is educated before it becomes a void of moral values.
Israel will learn that life cannot be terminated without consequences and history will not just condemn those who commit the crimes but those who remain silent.
If you want to understand what’s happening in Israel listen to the below.
THERE IS NO FUTURE UNLESS WE WAKE UP AND GET RID OF THE PRESENT WANKERS THAT THINK THEY ARE RUNNING OR RULING THE WORLD.
REPLACING THEM WITH LEADERS THAT HAVE VISION NOT GDP.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IF YOUNG PEOPLE CANNOT BUY A HOUSE, CANNOT EDUCATE THEIR CHILDREN FOR FREE, CANNOT EARN A LIVING, CANNOT ASPIRE TO UTTER THAN BEING DIGITAL CITIZEN FEED BY SOCIAL MEDIA.
THERE IS NO FUTURE DRIVEN BY CAPITALISM CONSUMPTION, CONSTANT WARS, OR WALL STREET PROFIT FOR PROFIT SAkE.
INFINITE GROWTH ON A FINITE PLANET IS NOT POSSIBLE.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN 10% OWNING THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN IGNORING CLIMATE.
LIVE IN A NOW AND NOT YET LIFE.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN ALLOWING UNFEELING GENERAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO RULE THE WORLD.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN TURNING A BLIND EYE TO GENOCIDES – RWANDA AND NOW PALESTINE.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN AMERICA FIRST.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN SEE EIGHT YEARS OLD PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED AND CLASSIFIED AS TERRORISTS BECAUSE THEY ATTENDED A MARCH SUPPORTING PALESTINE.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN DEPORTING REFUGEES.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN A WORLD WHERE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND IDOLS GOVERN SOCIETY.
THERE IS NO FUTURE UNLESS WE OVER COME THE HUMAN PREDICAMENT OF AGI VERSUS HUMANITY.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN ADVERTISING THAT IS BECOMING PERSONALISED.
THERE IS NO FUTURE IN ALLOWING SMARTPHONE AND PLATFORMS CREATE AND SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION.
THERE IS NO FUTURE WITHOUT ALL THAT STILL LIVES ON THE PLANET.
THERE IS NO FUTURE WITHOUT CLEAN AIR, UNPOLLUTED FRESH WATER AND CLEAN ENERGY.
THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS. GRAB IT WHILE YOU CAN.
ALL HUMAN COMMENTS APPRECIATED. ALL LIKE CLICKS AND ABUSE CHUCKED IN THE BIN.
It has with Capitalism outdated for some considerable time.
Now with the arrival of artificial intelligence it is consigned to the dustbin of social media, and gaping mouth of Trumpism
Now more than ever we will be required to focus on what is good, what is false, what is damaging/ dangerous to our well being.
In light of AI technology advancements we as a species need to adopt a written constitution for the planet we all live on, and will remain living on for centuries to come, if we don’t blow it to smithereens, or fuck it’s life giving abilities with climate changes.
This non religious constitution needs to have one fundamental principle, accepted by all humans and AI.
To protect all organisms, from exploitation of any kind that creates short term profit for the few.
This can only be achieved by allowing investment into a future that allows the reinstatement of the above, by equal opportunity for one and all.
The changes of this happening unfortunately are ZERO without Ai.
All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chuck in the bin.
When technology advances every breath of living a life seems to becoming more and more complicated.
It’s not that algorithms are going to replace religious beliefs, it is their alignment to human values that is the problem.
You can see this with the ever increasing use of autonomous weapons.
The uncomfortable truth is, we are living in an age where we are just on the fringes of biological life and Artificial life combining.
When this happens, we will be crossing the evolutionary bridge in to something that ceases to be fully human, therefore any religiosity and self-worth will become an illusion. However we are the most, the most complicated of all living things, so it’s important to avoid a deterministic view of life.
It is also imported not to fall into the temptation of explaining the whole of social and political life in environmental terms, or indeed in technology terms.
But in the terms of inequalities.
Why?
In the world they apply no matter what one believe in, or what life one lives.
Unfortunately these inequalities now cannot be addressed without AI because it has hack the way humans live.
——————
Many economists are trapped in an 18th-19th-century conception of growth, at whatever the cost, unable to see that some technologies are indeed hurting the planet.
Speed is one of these concepts effecting stock exchanges around the world.
AI developing without regulations it is perhaps one of the greatest problem the world is facing.
We can change the direction of technological progress if we want.
This is a race we cannot afford to lose as the whole world’s natural environment is now under threat from too much technology. In fact the constraints on growth don’t longer come from the fact that we live on a finite planet.
With algorithms making decisions as to what advertising matches our social media activities or viewing, advertising is polluting our daily lives, So all life including death [which is already a multi billion dollar industry ] will become a digitalisation category of faith affected by AI.
The days of living for a pay check are numbered.
The days of living with Gods are also numbered.
Our antiquated intellectual property regimes need to be reformed because in our time, ideas are going to come from AI.
Once again as humans we are wired to becoming the illusion of a facelessness societies.
The conversion of wealth into status will be all that counts.
The only things in life of real value and meaning will be achievable without conditions, without transactions.
—————-
Social media is changing the way we think.
New religious movement have often appeared in times of great social change.
With the ever ending secularisation of the world, giving way to more rational ways of explaining the world it is inevitable that new religious beliefs will emerge and there will be quite a choose to pick from.
Hopefully this time around no one will be more righteous than the other.
There will be no mass religious conversion but a digital dignity of belief/ belonging.
You can already wittiness this in many locations around the world, with local activities of a spiritual or religious nature are practiced all over the world. For example Q Drops.
———————
The very cosmology a people hold is often quite unintelligent with out an understanding of attitudes to the environment.
Damage caused by environmental phenomena is something that appears on our televisions.
Problems arise in thinking about the environment because of incompatible views. We have adopted some originally directional words to take on meanings now quite inappropriate in orientation.
The final religion:
It is almost impossible to imagine life without Google, email, or cell phones.
AI will created new relationships/ religions with rewards other than money or heaven creating bot cults.
There is nothing artificial about Artificial Intelligence it’s Alien.
There is no point talking to a AI bot.
It is totally useless to try and change a bot’s view whether it be on politics, religions or otherwise.
Our cultures therefore will start changing to enable intelligent interaction on an intimate basis with AI, altering the way we perceive the world
Wealth is becoming extremely concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer and because there are huge events coming our way, wars will be the only equaliser.
Luckily the world does not run on information it runs on feelings.

It’s not the Iron Curtain nor will it be the coming Trump dump that we should be worried about.
In the not so distant future it’s the Silicone Curtain that is potentially far more dangerous than climate change or nuclear war.
Why?
Because unlike Climate Change and a Nuclear war there’s no reverting Artificial Intelligence which we continue to confuse with human intelligence when in fact the two are totally different.
The day is fast approaching when we will be asking our personal oracle what to do, buy. With algorithms or not will they be ruling our lives, but how soon.
Computers are already running the Financial world.
It won’t be long before we are all subjected to an alien self learning intelligence (own ed by and control by god only knows who ) generating its own systems, feeding on synthetic data, from a metaphysical world.
We’re already relying on AI outside of our control taking initiative’s in shaping our societies, our history, our cultures.
Facebook alone has caused real problems.
Fanning the flames of splits with fake news between and in societies that are struggling to eradicate racism, ethnic tensions, inequality etc.
International institutions are being undermine by social media platforms giving rise to populist rhetoric and political instability.
We now have wars run by drones, and full scale ethnic cleansing, not just in the world of  illusion’s but in reality.
The thing to understand here is that algorithms are different when it comes to spreading news on social media as they are deciding what you see or hear. These algorithms are non transparent or accountably like the printed press or TV.
However they are supposed to be in the control of what ever platform use them. They are deciding what or what not to allowed on to the platform.
Therefore the algorithm is orientation is to attract more users to enhance its advertising revenues.
For me the responsibility lies with the engineering of the App ie the Code makers who should be held responsible under law for not modifying or changing the Apps capabilities.
The problem however is that they (the algorithm are self learning), like murder must be proven to be premeditated to guarantee for the death penalty.
Of course with our laws this is an impossibility.
Algorithms just like us can make decisions and decide actions on their own.
So should we give them legal status like companies, or other entities so they can be held accountable?
Yes!
The sooner the better before they split the world and all of us that live on it.
———————
We are already forced to grapple with some very deep issues/questions.
Religion have for centuries claimed non human sources for their holy books.
Artificial intelligence is capable of rewriting these books and creating new religions. In fact Ai will consume- all human creations as data and start to regurgitate new culture artefacts.
The next war will not be over how controls the air, the freshwater, the nuclear button or religious belief or even the arrival of Artificial Intelligence’s.
It will be the split between the technological world and not so advanced technology world.
We are at this moment inventing a sentient killing machine which will be impossible to find, alter or terminate. That will be able to totally mummify us all at will.
It’s now or never before history no longer has the connection of biological and cultural mix that we must interrogate algorithms to see that they have human values at their core.
