AFTER THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF EVOLUTION) HERE IS THE WORLD YOU NOW HAVE.

A world with 8 billion of us, with rampant inequalities of opportunity, that is on the threshold EXTINCTION.

Why?

Because we put Growth of GDP higher than the true values that govern life – Fresh Air – Fresh water – Fresh food.

You would think by now that we would all realise that the protection of environment is paramount to our survival.

We know it, but we are unwilling to pay for it.

The risk that we may be on the path to extinction rises daly.

LETS START WITH. With climate change.

We all by now should be aware that the Earth is getting warmer and warmer due to our emissions of Co2.

Every year

Every year, countries who have joined the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) meet to measure progress and negotiate multilateral responses to climate change. Today there are 198 Parties to the Convention.

COPs are crucial in bringing governments together while also mobilizing the private sector, civil society, industry and individuals to tackle the climate crisis.

However to date they achieve little to stop us using fossil fuels to generate energy.

Their main achievement is to turn the climate into a trading product.

One of the main stumbling blocks is who will finance the necessary conversion to green energy.

This problem as I have suggested in previous blogs. Can be solved with a world aid commission of 0.05% ( see previous blogs)

TURKEY will host the next Cop.

————————-

Next we have rampant non regulated Artificial Intelligence algorithms, they are filling our media with false information/ videos, plundering the world for short term profit etc.

However rapid progress in AI is arousing fear as well as excitement. 

Why?

Because should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones?

Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart…and replace us?

Should we risk loss of control of our civilisation?

These are some of the questions yet to be answered.

Just as Prometheus brought fire to mankind, AI offers us unprecedented knowledge and the opportunity to revolutionize every field.

Sophisticated scams are on the rise, powered by advanced chatbots that can convincingly imitate human dialogue. Deepfakes blur the line between reality and fiction, threatening the very foundations of social trust.

Manipulation and propaganda pose even greater dangers when algorithms personalize content to the point that fakes appear real, subtly shaping opinions and decisions.

AI could become a modern oracle—pouring expertise and insights into problems where human progress is slow.

AI can be a living bank of ideas, connecting theories and data across generations, illuminating the path of science.

This is the vision I believe in:

AI as a tireless partner in research—analyzing, organizing, and sharing knowledge “like a river in flood,”

However what we got is a world drive by western data with power resting more and more with platforms that are monopolistic

Our world is now full of falsehoods, videos games promoting violence, and TV dummy games for money.

Cannabis- Induced ‘Scromiting’ Is on the Rise.

Education is shallow, not addressing AI and its consequences to society.

AI Governance is for all intensive purposes non existent.

The EU AI Act emerges as a pivotal legislation as it tries to regulate a technology that is rapidly advancing in its capabilities lately – and with it potential risks and harms.

That’s why I suggested a counter-cultural choice: 

We put all conversations and support in the hands of real people.

We use AI solely to optimize our software—improving and refining the code behind our products—so we can maintain high standards without sacrificing the irreplaceable value of human contact and genuine interaction.

At the moment we are being sold everything as AI.

Maybe you’ve wondered: shouldn’t technology serve people, not replace them?

THE BEADY EYE ASK: WHO or WHAT WILL RULE THE WORLD.

Tags

( Three minute read)

Before we examine this question let me state categorically it will not be Donald Dump of the USA that will rule.

—————————-

There were two dominating powers the USA and Russia but now there is a new power China.

The USA with Donald is all but withdrawn from policing the world.

When the USSR collapsed it was left outside any contribution to world politic, which it resents to this day.

However non of this matters because one in five people worldwide will be forced to endure a life-threatening “new normal” if governments don’t act with urgency. Beyond the distraction of war, what we are about to discover with climate change is unimaginable.

The question is:

Are we all so self-centred that we are going to stay silent, while the planet is destroyed for the sake of profit.

Are we or our governments concerned?

Verbally yes. Taking Action Not.

The recent results of Cop 30 bears witness to this.

No matter who you’re are, what nationality you are, what you believe in, it is pathetic that we as a species (who are supposed to be the most intelligent on the planet ) cannot agree that the climate is worth while investing in for our collective future.

We are hurtling toward climate chaos.

The planet’s vital signs are flashing red.

The consequences of human-driven alterations of the climate are no longer future threats but are here now.

The window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.

These recent developments emphasize the extreme insufficiency of global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mark the beginning of a grim new chapter for life on Earth.

The last few years have seen surface temperature, ocean temperature, and sea ice extent records broken by extraordinary margins.

With the world economy expanding by approximately 3.5% over the previous year

Although this growth is often celebrated as a sign of progress, continued economic expansion remains largely coupled with increased resource consumption, ecological degradation, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Two-thirds of warming since 1990 has been attributable to the wealthiest 10% because of high-consumption lifestyles, high per capita fossil fuel use, and investments.

Taken together, these trends suggest humanity is in a state of ecological overshoot—a state in which resources are consumed faster than they can be replenished.

Seven of the eight globally quantified safe and just planetary boundaries have been transgressed, highlighting both overshoot and deepening justice concerns.

Reducing ecological overshoot would help mitigate socioenvironmental pressures, but would require both cutting emissions and rethinking the consumer society while transitioning to a sustainable economy within safe and just Earth system boundaries.

At this moment and time there is no hope of achieving anything near what is required.

This is a country, responsible for millions of deaths .

It’s all about choices.

This is a country, with a murder a day, and ramping crime with a jury system that is total out of date with a backlog of 78,000cases it takes two years wait for a rape case to be heard.

This is a country, where it is all most impossible for its young generation to buy a home is all but impossible. House building had been neglected to such an extent that no young person can get out of the trap of renting or living with their parents till they are middle aged.

This is a country, where the young generation leaves higher education with a debt on average around 50.000/ 60,000 .

This is country, with a stagnant economy, that turned its nose up at the biggest market on its door step because of the lies it was fed on Facebook.

This is a country, still spending billions on weapons that are worthless.

This is country, where the average wage is around 600€ per week, paying premier league footballer player around 50.00 to 80.00 pounds.

This is a country, that has lost its identity, still singing a slave song, with no national anthem to unify its population it is still singing god save an unelected king.

This is a country, Crying for a written constitution becoming more and more isolation, going broke, buy weapons that are worthless, with an Health NHS on its knees, with zero growth because it listens to Facebook false profane verbal to leave the biggest market on its doorstep.

This is a country, with a tax collector system that is out of date favouring the wealthy.

This is a country, where welfare spending at 25% of GDP is totally out of control.

This is a country, where increasing taxes to meet government spending is now essential.

This is a country, recently down grade by the IMF.

This is a country where the financial . sector is laughing all its way to tax havens.

This is a country where first past the post wins elections.

This is a country, where its prime minister can be changed by the ruling party without a general election.

This is a country where a royal family owns 250,000 acres of land. The largest landowner in the world currently is King Charles III of England. Before King Charles became the monarch, he reportedly received a salary of $16.5 million during the 2022 to 2023 fiscal year. Now, most of his money comes from the Duchy of Lancaster.

This is a country, where the Royal Family is earning significant income by renting out some of their most iconic real estate as holiday

On average, a room in these royal residences costs £1,335 per week, bringing in over £5,340 in monthly.

Balmoral Castle is a top performer in the Royal Family’s real estate portfolio, generating £36,798.30 per month even after cancellations.

This is a country, still retaining 14 oversea territories. Most of the former British colonies have joined the Commonwealth of Nations.

This is a country where many people do not take royalty as seriously as they once did.

The UK royal family is fast becoming like their European counterpart; only relevant to their country and that’s it.

This is a country where law has never been comprehensively codified (collected and restated in a written document, such as a Constitution) and has been developed in the courts through the application of statute, judicial precedent and case-by-case reasoning based on legal principles.

The rule of law is one of the longest established common law fundamental principles of the governance of the United Kingdom, dating to Magna Carta of 1215, particularly jurisprudence following its late 13th century re-drafting.

This is a country of 70 million hamstrung by an ailing economy.

What is the point of a budge when it turned up it nose to 90 billion revenue by leaving the Single Market.

Times change, and monarchies are a relic of the past.

British royals seem to me like an incredibly toxic family.

Seems a bit hard to respect and take seriously a king who once told his queen he wanted to be reincarnated as her tampon so there’s that.

The truth is the serfs pay them a fuckton of money directly or indirectly and they are not only doing less than the minimum cheerleading they are supposed to, they charge the tax payers four every little thing while also taking reaping national wealth (like sea bed rent for wind farms) while the government struggles with a 15 billion deficit hole left by the rampant mismanagement of public funds by the Tories in the last 15 years.

They are grifters of the worst kind.

They go around hand open asking and taking money and act as if their shit doesn’t stink.

Is there a cure?

A step in the right direction would be to bring back National Service to teach respect, the consequences of drug abuse, knives, and the benefits of critical thinking/Planing, etc.

The next two years will determine whether England is going to collapse or not.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. THE RATE OF ICE MELTING IN GREEN LAND IS NOW SIGNIFICANTLY FOR-BORING TO ALARM ANYONE WITH A BRAIN.

( Three minute read)

Green land is turning green at a speed that should be terrifying us all.

However the pending disaster is lost to our imagination because the climate is now a product to be sold on the market. Hedge funds , carbon credits, etc

11, 000 square miles of Greenland’s ice sheet and glaciers have melted over the past 30 years.

It is beyond belief that we are still trying to get the world to take climate change seriously.

How stupid does one have to be not to able to realise what climate change is doing and will do to the planet.

The answer is simple – Profit before people.

So communication about the climate has been left to the marketplace and the market is determined to use fossil fulls till they run out.

The sea level has been rising since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum, which was around 20,000 years ago.[3] Between 1901 and 2018, the average sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), with an increase of 2.3 mm (0.091 in) per year since the 1970s.

This was faster than the sea level had ever risen over at least the past 3,000 years.

The rate accelerated to 4.62 mm (0.182 in)/yr for the decade 2013–2022.

Climate change due to human activities is the main cause of this persistent acceleration.

Between 1993 and 2018, melting ice sheets and glaciers accounted for 44% of sea level rise, with another 42% resulting from thermal expansion of water.

Sea level rise lags behind changes in the Earth‘s temperature by decades, and sea level rise will therefore continue to accelerate between now and 2050 in response to warming that has already happened.

What happens after that depends on future human greenhouse gas emissions.

Rising seas affect every coastal population on Earth. The sea level rise projected by 2050 will expose places currently inhabited by tens of millions of people to annual flooding.

Wake up or learn to swim it’s the start of a tidal wave.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS The COP30 summit’s conclusion in Brazil leaves the future of global climate diplomacy at another crossroads.

(Six minute read)

There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical about future climate projections, but we can at least be prepared in the event that the kinds of weather conditions we’ve already experienced occur again but in a warmer climate.

The difference now is the background because the planet will be hotter than it was when those events first struck, and that extra heat could turn a bad week into something closer to a mass casualty disaster.

Global temperatures in recent years have hovered close to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre industrial levels. That is about 0.7 degrees hotter than in 2003, when a ferocious heat wave killed more than 20,000 people across Europe.

In today’s climate, close to 1.5 degrees above pre industrial levels, that same pattern would kill an estimated 17,800 people in a single week.

If global temperatures reach 3 degrees above the pre industrial baseline, a repeat of the 2003 pattern would drive weekly excess deaths to about 32,000.

At 4 degrees, the toll could reach roughly 45,000 deaths in one week. 

We are just so underprepared for these events. 

Every extra half degree turns a bad week into something far worse for real people, including you and your family.

Even with strong adaptation, the only reliable way to avoid the most extreme death tolls is to limit how hot the background climate becomes.

There is no more time to be had before we start to see tipping points in the climate occurring.

Then you can rest assured that migration will see new conflicts breaking out that will kill just as many who die from the heat in the first place.

Will these deaths disturb us? Of course not we humans are use to dying in our thousands.

But slow death from heat is worse than drowning.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. INEQUALITY IS GROWING AND WILL BE AS DANGEROUS AS CLIMATE CHANGE.

( Five minute read)

Income and wealth inequality has risen in many countries in recent decades.

Rising inequality and related disparities and anxieties have been stoking social discontent and are a major driver of the increased political polarization and populist nationalism that are so evident today.

An can weaken trust in public institutions and undermine democratic governance.

Mounting global disparities can imperil geopolitical stability.

Income inequality has worsened in recent decades—and is worsening today.

Now with Artificial Intelligence income convergence has and will continue to stall.

There is only one way to resolve the problem and that is a basic living wage.

The Russia Ukraine war shows that standing armies are out of date.

Instead of spending billions upon billions on out off date weapons of war replace social welfare payments with a living wage.

This would reduce inequality and restore dignity as they recipient would have to look after their own health and daily needs.

Social media is now the personified lying machine of communication to such extent that it’s almost impossible to take anything that appears on it without a grain of salt.

The scam world loves it.

Popularism love it.

Profiteering algorithms love it.

Critical thinking hates it .

Democracy is learning to hate it.,

Artificial intelligence loves it.

The literature world hates it.

The creative Art world hates it.

The Medical world needs caution when apprising it.

The advertising world has adopted it.

The weapons world is enhancing it.

The Education world both loves it and heats it.

The online shopping world loves it.

Once more after what is now the 34th climate conference we have a weak agreement that will do little our nothing to solve the forthcoming climate disaster.

After a fortnight of verbal we get what only can be called Bull shit.

The time to urge countries to take action has passed a long time ago.

This blog has suggested that a 0.05% world aid commission be placed on all human activities that are not essential to one life.

Sovereign wealth funds, Hedge funds, Foreign Exchange Transactions over 50,000£ Dividend pay outs, Lottery winning, Toll roads, tunnels, bridges. Parking meters.

This with today technology is achievable.

It would create a perpetual fund of billions.

It would spread the cost of fighting climate change fairly.

WHAT TRULY MATTERS !

( Four minute read)

There is something profoundly unsettling when one is confronted by this question. As the answer is governed by many different factors.

Age

Health

Money

Nationally

Sex

Beliefs

The most prestigious things in life cannot be bought or produced you would therefore think that the five pillars of life would be common to all answers.

Fresh Air. Fresh water. Green Engery. Food.

Health.

As with most things that require a universal agreement, us humans are incapable of understanding or implementing a common agreement of protection.

Climate change is a prime example.

If we were intelligent in stead of turning everything into a product we would draw up a global constitution to protect what’s left of the earth.

At the moment a written constitution for the protection of the planet is away beyond our imagination.

However if one looks at the United Nations (with its veto members ) it is obvious that nothing except verbal dieorria can be agreed upon, and allocated a posh name called resolutions .

With the arrival of AI a written constitution is a must.

Not just for the earth but for us the human race.

If we don’t agree a universal binary constitution we will see war after war.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS AFRICA HAS BEEN AND STILL IS CAUGHT BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT.

Tags

, , , , ,

( Six minute read)

Africa for me are the countries below the Sahara.

Most people have little appreciation that the continent is made up of over 50!independent countries with 2000 ethnic groups speaking 700 different languages.

Africa name came from the Latin word aprica ( sunny) or the Greek word aphrike ( without cold)

It occupies 20% of the earth’s land surface. It is 5000 miles long and 4600 wide with a coastline smaller than Europe, cut in half by the equator.

The Sahara is still growing at about 250,000 acres a year.

In our overland adventure of two years it took us (in the high of summer ) 15 days to get from Morocco to Nouakchott Mauritania capital ( the place of the winds ) with the Aid structure road of no Return out of Nouakchott it took less than three minutes to fall off the end of the road back into the desert to Saint Louis Senegal.

The great irony of Africa is that this is the place where we mankind originated.

Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of its people are to this day killed for no other reason other than thy belong to the wrong tribe. Tribalism is one of the difficult African concepts to grasp.

Suffering from corruption and guns one cannot apply western values to a place which is not like any other.

Time means nothing because in Africa nothing is quite as it seems and nothing ever happens as it is supposed to.

Another words nothing political stays unchanged very long.

Gone are the days of Emperors such as Haile Selassie – Ethiopia

No place on earth has been mistreated, misunderstood and misreported. Its beauty is beyond verbal description.

Once axfootnote to history it now cannot be brushed aside.

With the climate changing the ecological metamorphosis is frightening.

The average human is made up of 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms, and most of them are hydrogen.

The average American if asked what are the four things you would associate with Africa. I bet you would hear the following. Jungle- Heat-pygmies- Lions.
