According to the next US President invest a billion in the USA and it’s Disney Land.
This is the proposed new economic policy of D Trump for becoming a citizen of the US of A.
However brace yourself for the sequel.
The international snarling or smiling it’s going to be more than interesting and your master degree will be useless.
Tariffs bulling will be a sport and Rwanda will be bursting at the seams with illegal immigrants.
With staggering wealth the new Dump team is assembling, with undisclosed loyalty to, profits at any costs.
Palestine will be no more, Syria will become a satellite state with Iran at boiling point.
Canada might be not keen to the goldeneye trumpet.
Mr Putin will be shaking hand with NATO underscoring the need for a unified rejection of the Micky mouse contingent. If not there could be a widening of the war in the Ukraine.
There will be a computer with the same speed as the human brain. The trouble with that is who or what is going to control it.
Certainly not Dump or Musk.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE ASKS WHICH WOULD YOU LIKE ? RULE BY ALGORITHMIC BUREAUCRACIES THAT ACCOMPANY US AROUND THE CLOCK OR BUREAUCRACIES THAT WE VISIT WHEN WE HAVE TO.
Life as a never ending job interview, performing on stage in front of millions. Around the clock surveillance with no privacy, with constant pestering to do this or that.
If so, you’re will be over the moon to hear that we all well on the road to such a life.
The question is who or what will be controlling such a life style, and at what cost.
Not the individual, not the computer, not the platform, not the mobile phone, not a god, or a Donal Trump of the his world, or the bejesus of the next world.
Not Money.
More than likely through the motion of your eye pupils, money will be replaced by Social Credits. Which is what is happening in China.
The very fact that we are being monitor 24/7 is changing our biology behaviour and gradually imposing a new world order as we speak.
Finding a definition of religion is very difficult.
But if you remove the needs for belief or actions involved a belief than there is a serious question, as to what life means.
What happens to our cultures?
Do we just become digital Slaves?
Or will we revert to telepathic communication to avoid technology surveillance.
With the second largest harbour in the world New Zealand is a colonial country with a Maori identity which is its unique point of difference in the world.
Plague by its past history it is now struggling to accommodate a cultural diversity.
JThis identity is reflected both in a language called Te Roa Māori ( The language that gives the exotic names not just to physical rivers mountains which did not arrive yesterday but to the whole country heritage.] along with a muffled pioneering English the is plagued with the word like.
Without its Māori heritage to the world the country would be just be a natural backwater of physical beauty that plays sports.
As with most colonies countries-their historically background are only coming to the forefront within the last few decades.
For the country to move forward as one nation white New Zealand needs to learn its true history, which is very unlikely.
At present there is a farcical demand for an independent Maori government.
Just imagine trying to marry two governments to run a country full of Cantonese immigrants.
In 1989 the government allocated $20 million to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Waitangi. On the day of its anniversary in 2010 the Māori Flag for the first time flew over the Aukland Harbour.
Before New Zealanders fought for the British Empire in overseas wars they like the Irish fought against it on their own soil.
A lot of New Zealanders seem to think that modern day New Zealand came from a Treaty but the Waikato war in particular the siege on Orakau Pareto where Rewi Maniapoto made his last stand is a historical and spiritual significance to Maori who were the major inhabitants of the time.
The country is littered with Maori Art all of which is capitalised on by the tourists industry.
Below is a photo of a Pou Whenua.
It represents traditional knowledge and navigational tools Māori have held for centuries.
At the turnoff to Arowhenus Pa at Temuka stands a limestone archway, built in 1934
The Arowhenua Kamala to commemorate three significant strands of identity for the Waitaha-Kati Huirapa hapu of Arowhenua.
It honours the memory of a rangatira Te Hipa Te Maiharoa who passed away in 1855, the transformative leader Tahupotiki Witemu Ratana, of the Ratana Church, as well as 12 Maori soldiers of Te Wai Pounamu who fell on the Great War.
This is it.
The difference is that Te Ureweta is tied to Maori identity.
It takes one generation to get rid of a language and more than three to reinstate it.
Here is a He Mihi.
Kia hipokina ano e to korowai te taone but.
Grab the city with your verdant cloak.
Kia whiwhi ko matos
That we, your heirs might benefit
Kia whiwhi te ao katoa
And so too, the whole world.
Mastering the art of interpretation in Māori is almost impossible.
For example translating Toi Tu Toi Ora:
Toi means knowledge, skill, excellence, source, origin, or mastery.
Ora to be alive, well and safe.
Mauri Ora means, that our life essence and our Wairua( Culture connectors, like Whatapapa (genealogy) atue ( ancestors) Karakia (prayer) and tikanha ( custom)
Wairua – living soul.
All come into play.
Try these words
Pouwhenua: Long- handled pointed weapon.
Tewhatewha; Long – handled fighting club.
It’s almost pathetic to think that like most indigenous peoples Maori have been reduced to second class citizens.
When the sun shines on this country there are no words to describe its physical beauty, other than you have died and gone to heaven.
Don’t wait till you are too old.
This is a young man or woman’s country requiring strong lungs and limbs and the ability to swim, climb, fly.

You often wonder how a country can slide down hill.
I put a lot of countries problems down to the Rip off factor.
You could say that life itself is a rip off from its start to the end.
However each and ever country has its own matrix when it comes to rip off.
Some start before you set foot on the countries soil with visas fees.
No matter the price of a cup of coffee usually is a good barometer to judge by.
Within our capitalism system is becoming more and more prevalent, unaccountable Algorithmic profiteering is going to rip us off on a grand scale. Before they do here is a classic one we just experienced at the hands of a New Zealand cowboy called Gibbons Electrical.
Unfortunately while staying in a wonderful rural property a jar of marmite fell from a shelf overlooking-a glass cooking top, splintering its glass edge.
Natural it had to be replaced.
After hunting around the price of a replacement from new to second hand one varied between over 1000NZ$ new and 200 $ NZ. used.
We eventually on trade it we secured a second hand ( exact model replacement @ 150$ plus a round trip of 200 kilometres to collect it).
This replacement had to install by an electrician that could supply the property owner with a safety certificate, for insurance purposes.
So far Reasonable
With ten minutes labour, this cowboy installed it, presenting an invoice in the grand sum of 168€ for the trouble of do so.
Unplugged and re plugging came to 167$.
The majority of the cost over 100 € was the disposing of the old top, which we could have put in the car and driven it two minutes to a skip or ten minutes to the recycling depot cost free.
On pointing this out to the cowboy he stuck to his guns, because he has the owners of the property over a barrel and us as visitors.
(The owners of the house are totally screwed he being apparently the only electrician with in miles and they of course do not want to put his nose out of joint.)
So as not to upset the apple tart we cough up the 167nz$ which borders on unadulterated blatant robbery.
As there is no stigma attached you could say that it’s just sour grapes on our part being caught with our trousers down.
It is an example of what is wrong with the world we live in today.
If we do not stand up to being rip off we will be condoning a society where hidden algorithms will not just rip us off constantly but be excepted as the norm.

This question is going to have a profound effect on all of us.
Donal has indicated that he is not interested in CLIMATE CHANGE, NATO and the EU.
However in relation to all that is happening in the world he is a pivotal figure whether we like it or not whether he is mentioned or not in dispatches.
It’s American first.
We are now once again the most powerful in the world.
Whether you like it or not he says nasty things, turn USA foreign policy in treats .
Politically his election for a second term is nationalistic in the extreme.
A man against basic human rights. He wants to round up 11 million illegal immigrants and put them into camps to be deported. Rwanda is going to become over crowded.
He is going to increase the cost of living by 5% with tariffs.
There is no doubt that countries are going to have to increase defence spending.
It is pathetic that we live in a world that spends more on arms to kill each other than on getting to know each other.
The West Bank in Gaza can kiss itself goodbye along with any two state solution to the conflict.
The UKRAINE can also kiss the loss of substantial territories, and god forbid welcome in return a civil war that will eventually put Russia in total control and face on to NATO.
The expansion of NATO is the real reason that Putin invaded the Ukraine.
This is going to be a grumpy four years with Trump promises in charge of Elon Musk nightmares.
A tweet here and a tweet there could change history.
The worst thing that might happen is that he like many a president before him claims Irish heritage when in fact he is of German and Scottish blood.

The lack of understanding of the issues affecting life is visible in most political parties aspersions, not to mention profits seeking algorithms.
Unfortunately, this is not the world in which we live. Power stems only partially from knowing the truth.
Our world not matter how one looks at it, is getting into a worse and worse state on almost every level and front.
AI – Climate – Wars – pollution- greed – inequalities- racism- religious intolerance- exploitation- social media- education- profiteering- pandemics- gender ideology- dehumanising refugees- metaverse- cost of living- you name it and its getting worse not better by the day
Why you might ask?
Because.
We are walking around with our very own colosseum areas in our hands, portraying a world full of succulent burgers with violence on tap.
Because.
Social media deriving pleasure from other people suffering is promoting false news, with false like clicks, false on line friends, false values.
Treating wars and natural disasters as entertainment, promoting growth and unsustainable consumption above any worthy while common values. Becoming morally hypocritical with AI knowledge.
Because.
Rationality is going out the window for the sake of shot term pleasure’s detaching us from reality.
Any one can become an Internet troll.
Because.
If we are unwilling to invest in a future, it is no wonder our world is in such a mess.
Because.
Psychopathic traits make for Popular leaders with bloated and boundless egos.
Because
We fail to understand the basic laws of nature resulting in an endemic of bad effects.
Because.
Climate change has the potential to cause deviations and millions of deaths but we remain unable to act together even though we are facing such a stark prospect.
Because.
To find a way to make millions of us to cooperate is a science still in the making.
To inspire people to make a common sacrifices for a common cause requires fictional stories rather than the truth,.
If we want to battle climate change it has to take precedence in all activities and this can only be achieved by bribing the great unwashed into changing how it conducts itself.

With 3200 km of coastline AUKLAND is a city which like all major cities has its ins and outs and its ups and downs.
With thousands and thousands of avenues, streets, dead ends, health centres, shopping malls, jogging tracks, expensive children play grounds and retirement villages, it is surrounded by extinct volcanoes.
Apart from its land mark post office tower and Bridge, it is a city of cheek to cheek wooden movable housing costing millions depending on their sea views.
Known as Tamaki- Makau- Rau its Maori name.
It’s a cosmopolitan expensive city of around 2 million people, compared to London 8 million it has one of the highest density of 2,500 people per square kilometre, comprising of Indians, Chinese, British, Singapores, Tongans, and the odd Maori, with the largest ethnic Polynesian population in the world.
With one way in and one way out its is evacuated on weekends to bashes ( holiday homes) by most of its residents.
Aukland suffered from traffic jams, traffic lights, and traffic cones to beat the ban.
Herne bay would give the average person a hernia with the average property costing over 3 million NZ$ full of wealth Jafa New Zealanders.
Acacia cottage is its oldest building 1841. However Kemp house 1822 a mission house is the winner. Parnell is its oldest suburb and perhaps its most expensive. South street is its oldest. Gilchrist its oldest shop.

But now we are seeing another Virtual Realty in the form of the metaverse.
A place where people can interact with each other and with digital objects in a way that simulates reality.
Within 3d immersive environments real takes a holiday, replaced by visual experiences that will eventually be accompanied by sensory experiences.
However inter subjective things exist in the exchange of information within this world.
The metaverse will eventually be able to remember one user from another.
Providing information to its platform to ensure consistency where physical human and digital reality’s will co exist.
Another words we will have two relationships with reality. A walled garden realm and a wild garden or a fusion of both.
This will be governed by the extent that the user can move around in the real world without using the metaverse which will be determined by the connectivity of the platform.
It might never be deemed safe to immerse oneself totally in the metaverse.
However one thing is clear the metaverse is here regardless of how it evolves it is going to change the way information is infused into reality.
Humans have an amazing ability to interpret everything from text to videos.
It’s time to get prepared as Ai in the form of algorithms will interpret information personalising it more and more, creating new entities and a entirely new level of reality,
If enough people agree that a particular state of reality exists then it does.
It then can do things that create inter subjective realities which are powerfully only within that state and not outside of it.
What I am trying to say is that a picture/video is worth a thousand words in deciphering information.
But the up and coming generation is however converting the messages of the metaverse gaming world into reality, without understanding the real underlying realities of the pictures being explained.
Violence, sexual abuse assaults, and other experiences are not comparable to reality in physical real life.
——————
So where are we with the metaverse?
Its use in Education will be far reaching with virtually tours of almost anything or anywhere.
Its application in advertising, retail sales, housing, city development, infrastructure, all architectural projects, etc is in it’s infancy.
The global market for the metaverse is projected to reach 800 billions by the end of this decade.
App developers in medical industries will be using the metaverse to enhance their usage away beyond the hospital bed.
The film industry will be redefined through its creative abilities.
Facebook changing its name to Meta is a clear indication of where social media is going.
Only time will tell if the experiences of the metaverse will destroy whats left of reality.

Every America can be proud of electing a man who any where else in the world would be doing time not in the White House but in a jail house.
Social media has a lot to be responsible for.
It’s going to be a sad four years more of warped America values.
Drilling for oil, tariffs, charging for American military protection, but some where down the line civil troubles will be inevitable.
During his last term he end up with the lowest rating of any president with gun sales breaking records. He committed 35 felonies while in office. We can only hope he is spared an assassination.
One thing for sure we don’t know what the future will hold, but let’s all of us hope he does not weaponise Mac Donald’s.

Ai is the first technology that is more efficient than all the collective instruments, institutions, corporations so far invented by humans.
However its main objectives is us.
While we reside in our twenty century caves call houses, apartments, algorithms exam our every day existence and addictions to our smartphones on behalf of their overlords.
Engagement is however not the model. As we will be less and less involved in making decisions.
With our caves converting more and more to automatic functions at speed to maximise profits.
In the mean time the planet is in a state of crisis not only to provide the necessary materials and energy to sustain itself never mind ourselves or AI which is slowly killing real activism, and replacing it with slacktivsm – with smartphones opting – out of actually committing time or money.
Where are we?
It is having a profound effect on all that surrounds us.
Social Media has already transformed the way we communicate, share information and consume media its self.
It’s all about attention seeking.
It had shifted the balance of power from the hands of the masses to the hands of the few.
On the threshold of a war,
Popular v. Democracy.
The future is not yet determined by Ai
We have to decide what we want before it’s too late.
Yuval Noah Harari book Nexus says that history is not deterministic and the future will be shaped by the choices we make in the coming years.
He says and I quote “ if we cannot change the future why waste time talking about it”
Unfortunately we respond to these dangers with the same brains as our Ancestors had some 60,000 to 80,000 years ago.
( He rightly pointed out who will we know that we are talking to a human. Place an x on a serious of photos not on your Nelly.
There will be no way to know. )
Unlike us with our I am all right Jack society they had a vested interest in each other. Peace without Victory.
Strong societies or weak
The fact that we have bot pits of rewards to engage the more extreme the more consuming the content becomes the bigger the rewards and that is what we are presently being fed by Algorithms.
What do we get in return for engagement?
Nothing.
Except democracy hacked for profit.
So here is my advice:
Really is you not some Algorithm that is trying to hack you.
Imagination is information that has be checked to become information.
So it follows that there is no such thing as information, there is only reality which is this very present moment in time, becoming fact when observed more than once by independent observation.
Life is a series of positions that fluctuate with time.
Most information including technology information has nothing to do with reality.
As we have found out in quantum mathematics is that it can be in two places at once depending on who or how it is observed.
We all have different perspective on the world. Here to day gone to morrow.
It is nothing but information.
As Yuval Noah Harari book Nexus states and I quote “ No account of reality is 100% accurate, but some accounts are nevertheless more truthful than others “
The question is will we adapt to Ai or will it be the other way around.
We need sleep it does not.
The world as you know it is over. It’s not about to happen it has already happened.
Remember that corporations in the USA already have legal rights.
One year remaining to ensure that our rights are respects as humans not as Ai pets.
We already have decisions being made by Ai that could replace the richest person with an Ai controlled company.
