THE ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA WAS BOUGHT BY A FEW RICH PEOPLE.
It makes one wonder whether you should want something or someone else to determine your voting choice for you.
At the moment we have different voting systems all with a variety of different features.
But how proportional they are is hidden in corruption and money.
They are also difficult to understand depending where in the world they are taking place.
All have advantages and disadvantages.
However most can be manipulated by outside factors and forces and of course by money and bots.
Voting on minor issues is done usually by
General Consent – Visible
Voice Vote. Aya or no
Show of hands – Visible
———————
The question is whether seats in parliament reflect votes cast or just the party which has the most funds.
————
This post wishes to emphasise the importance of understanding different voting methods to make informed decisions as citizens.
————-
A ballot vote is used for elections.
To curb the political power of a dominating oligarchy we need to change to Direct democracies through an assembly of citizens, or by means of referendum and initiatives in which citizens vote on issues instead of for candidates or parties.
Why ?
Because AI will make voting an academic-Exercise.
Are you unsure about how to vote?
Simple: just ask an AI chatbot and within seconds you’ll have ready-made voting advice.
Easy? Yes. Desirable? Not really.
Choices such as who you marry, which job you choose and who you vote for are, in my opinion, a significant part of being human; they seem too important to me to outsource to technology.
Voting is now a collective illusion.
Take the Uk for example
ENGLAND has no written constitution.
The king might not have hard powers but he still has soft powers.
This must be removed by making Royalty solely a cultural historical institution.
It’s nive to think that the Royals have no influence over government.
They are asset rich, costing the tax payers million. On then other hand they generate millions as a tourism attraction, which would remain.
England with its mixed population needs a constitution.

We now live in a world where artificial intelligence can write, think, plan, and even “coach” us.
From the convenience of asking a chatbot for career advice to using an app to decide what to eat, we’re slowly letting machines do more of our thinking for us.
We risk weakening one of the most important muscles we have — the mind.
When leaders stop thinking critically — when we let algorithms make the hard calls — we risk losing not only our judgment, but our humanity.
AI was built to assist, not replace human wisdom.
Yet too many leaders now lean on it to decide who to hire, how to discipline, or when to cut costs — without the nuance of empathy, context, or culture that human judgment brings.
Algorithms can’t feel tension in a room.
They can’t read the hesitation behind a “yes” or sense when burnout is brewing.
They only process what’s been programmed, and they reflect the bias, pressure, or short-term thinking of those inputs.
The result?
Decisions that may look efficient on paper but erode trust, morale, and belonging in practice.
When people feel reduced to data points, they disengage.
AI was designed to augment human intelligence, not replace it.
Yet many are falling into the trap of letting AI decideinstead of assist.
When we accept every answer as truth because it’s well-written or “sounds right,” we lose our ability to question, discern, and connect dots on our own.
This slow erosion of independent thought doesn’t just affect our intellect; it seeps into our mental health.
When we remove that process — when we let algorithms choose our news, our diets, or our next move — we dull our emotional intelligence and intuition.
The very skills that create confidence, resilience, and creativity begin to fade.
Outsourcing your mind disconnects you from your inner voice — the quiet knowing that guides you toward balance and purpose.
When that intuition is replaced with the “certainty” of technology, we begin to doubt ourselves and lose alignment with what is authentically right for us.
Why is all this happening?
Because.
We elected leaders and government that are only interested in the performance of economic growth.
Algorithms ensure that we are distracted 7/7 with social media full of rubbish and lies.
Our education system are now totally out of date no longer teaching the reasoning.
When citizens stop participating the game is over.
If we don’t get a grip on ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE our live become absurd.

The major of problems with Algorithms is just who owns them.
Who is responsible when something goes wrong.
A machine driven by a code that humans invented remains within the current laws of defending or prosecution.
But once a machine becomes conscious it steps out of any human made laws into a legal void.
Currently there are no legal requirements to declare either an owner or their usages.
The question is :,
If the machine is capable of being responsible for its own actions, is the original coder of the machine removed from any legitimate legal obligation, as the machine is now capable of making it’s own decisions without any further human interventions.
What is the point of having laws that govern a machine if it has no emotions, no sense of fear, no sense of anything biological, no laws will protect anything that comes in contact.
So how does one go about setting rules and regulations for conscientious machinery ?
What if such machine were to kill a human there is no human law that could be applied that would have any impact, or effect.
There is only one way.
That way is that all conscious AI no matter what form it or they take must have like all hospital beds an alarm button within its. A fail safe code that can be activated to turn it off
The password to this function comes with its purchase and there is a legal requirement that it is held on your mobile phone in a designated file called AI Emergency.
You might think this is over the top.
I say if we humans want to have any resiliency or control over future AI we must be able to shut down the power that is running any AI machine.
While one of us out of 11 goes hungry every day, we currently building data centres using so much water to keep them cool that there will be nothing left to drink.
There leadership for you.

ARMING A COUNTRY TO COMMIT A GENOCIDE IS REPUGNANT ENOUGH, TO SAY THE LEAST.
TO LIE ABOUT IT IS POLITICAL TERRORISM.
THIS IS WHAT DONAL TRUMP AND HIS ARSE LICKING COMPATRIOTS – SIR KIRE STARMER AND THE REST ARE DOING.
SPENDING TRILLION ON WORTHINESS ARMS.
The truth.
HOPEFULLY they will be held to account for the consequences of their atrocities of their lies and their hypocrites beyond belief.
When it comes to describing terrorists the SLIPPAGE IN INTERNATIONAL LAW must be brought to a halt.
People supporting PALESTINE are not terrorist.
All so in the light of undisputed evidence that a Genocide is being committed worldwide corporations that support Israel must be brought to account.
As our world organisations can only pass resolutions that are worthless we must boycott Israel from participating in any competitions, and stop buying any products produced by Israel, by stopping supporting any corporation that supports its genocide.
Why?
Because their actions demand that we do so.
If it was not for Hitler there wouldn’t be an. Israel.
It is obvious that only a political solution will resolve the present day situation.
Most solutions are a two nation model. It is obvious when the present war ends that there will be no two nations to agree on anything.
THERE WILL BE ONLY ONE SOLUTION. ONE NATION WITH A NON RELIGION AGREED WRITTEN CONSTITUTION GRANTING EQUALITY TO ALL
Why?
BECAUSE POWER IS NO LONGER ARMS BUT TRUTH.
AND THAT TRUTH IS.
THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SUCH THING (WITH COMING AI AND CLIMATE CHANGE) AS SOVEREIGNS NATIONS. IT WILL BE ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL
History will never forget what is happening in GAZA.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS: WE HUMANS HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO LIVE TOGETHER /BUILD SOCIETIES WITHOUT SACRIFICING OUR INDIVIDUAL IDENTITIES.
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 .

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS OUR CURRENT SYSTEMS ARE UNSUSTAINABLE. WE ARE All LIVING A LIE IN A WORLD DRIVEN BY SOCIETIES OVER WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE OR NO CONTROL.
In a world driven by money one only has to wake up in the morning to know that the above is the only truth worth taking any notice of.
It is impossible to extricate oneself from the web of labour, production, consumption that underpins modern capitalism.
Because the free market and capitalism are not synonymous.
Existing capitalist economies are hybrid systems, based on a careful balance between markets and planning.
We don’t see the whole picture when it comes to the problems we are facing, and more than likely will never do so.
The earth is not here to supply an economy it should be the other way around.
After thousands and thousands of years we are now moving into an era of technological that requires unlimited amounts of power and water.
Unfortunately:
We don’t have the right perspectives when it comes to life so we’re not ably to address the reality of the position that the world is in.
There is no such thing as them. AI or not there is only us.
Us. Yes us, who must wake up to the fact that we are destroying ourselves for the sake of an economy that is dissolving right in front of us.
For profits that in the end will be worthless.
We most come to appreciate the interlaying structure of all that exists and will exist on the planet are not attached to monetary gain.
Not to religious beliefs, but with the environment, with the knowledge of what happens to anyone of us affects all of us.
We all connect whether we like it or not.
We’re not from Earth we on Earth.
Once this is understood, the perception and perspective of the problems can be tackled by AI. Not by profit seeking algorithms but by certified human value Ai.
Certainly not by data colonisation platforms.
Our global yearning for hope and empathy is perhaps more needed now than ever before in our lifetime.
Just how brittle how fragile the earth is remains unclear.
Unfortunately developers of Ai are only concerned with making billions not with introducing regulations to manage the explosive potential of Ai.
To change the way the capitalist systems work requires a Basic Living Wage, with all future jobs governed by sustainable, rather than profit.
If everyone one has equal opportunity irrespective of colour creed or sex than we might have a peaceful world.
In this new world of technology surveillance, human development and earth protection are one and the same.
No one is coming to save us only when money becomes secondary to our needs are we going to be able to change our out of date systems.

It’s an intelligent totally different from human intelligence and as such should not be compared to evolutionarily human advancement.
An algorithmic bot is not a robot it’s a digital code of instructions to follow to achieve a specific target.
Ai is a net work of algorithms on a platform.
Quantum chips will take computing to the next level of artificial intelligence’s, with quantum information that only the computer will understand.
We all know that if our kids are constantly looking at computers I pads laptops and mobile devices we’re heading for a generation of fat kids with huge backsides.
Already we have over 208million Americans classified as obese.
Just imagine.
If it took millions of years for us to evolve but Robots without outside help will evolve at speeds not yet seen.
We are getting close to a world under constant surveillance thanks to the very thing I am using this very second – A Mobil phone.
It’s now impossible to live without constant contact with a computer, that is feeding of your personal and non personal data.
The ability of algorithms to analyse all this information is really beyond our comprehension.
The ability to make decisions must be within our capabilities, not with algorithms.
If we to have lives worth living, all technological advancement must be subjected to upholding human values.
This can only be achieved if we humans pass laws to regulate all social media platforms.
They all must be able to verify their content as genuine fact, not computer generated tripe.
Human if you have not noticed are inextricably connected to the earth not artificial intelligence.
It’s time to shift to a war time mindset when it comes to profit seeking algorithms and computers decide our lives.
Our smartphone accomplish the job 24/7
It’s simple unacceptable that they suck the life out of living for profit, while remaining un- transparent, un- unconscious, unethical, untrustworthy, untrainable.
The grow apathy about Ai, the state of the world drags on. It’s now or never or tomorrow will not arrive.
There is no deal to be had with Ai.

From a distance so many of our lives look the same. Survival, Procreation, Death.
But in our lives everything depends on others and there is no life without feeling part of something bigger than oneself.
Life demands an horizon bigger than the four walls of your living space.
The narrow ruts of immediacy is not life.
The din of humanity has to be shaken off to experience life.
A super market, a shopping centre, a consumer market mall, what ever you want to a call it is not life
Is your life to focus on convenience and consumption?
Are you walking around in fear of loosing your phone, having never read a book or visited an art gallery or museum or being to a play or concert. Climb a mountain, gone scuba diving, sniff a flower, cooked a meal, crack a joke, live in nature.
Life is not a football team, a culture, a race, a language, a country, or the cadaverous light of the computer, the laptop, the iPhone, the iPad, the smart TV.
Or is it rituals we continually reenact that-have long ago emptied of their meaning and do nothing to regather the sense of self.
——————-
Modern day life is turning into a multifaceted compendium of evolving technology and social media affecting our physical and mental health.
It’s is not a life.
Unplug your phone and take notice of your surroundings.
Standing in front of a panoramic vista, or horizon less night sky, is a bit like waving ammonia underneath one’s nose. It reminds you that you are part of a bigger scheme of things than just life.
Change is inevitable.
There are it seems no rules to modern day life, other than overindulgence and living beyond one’s means.
There are nearly 8 billion of us destroying what’s left of our planet’s beauty.
Life on a credit card and the never never of a pay check, bragging on social media is not living, its existence at the pleasure of others.
With the interdependence on each other to reverse climate change becoming more and more urgent, before living becomes not worth while, other than it being harvested by an algorithm. It’s time we understand what an algorithm is.
A set of commands that must be followed for a computer to perform calculations or other problem solving operations actions.
Life is an algorithmic process that does not function as a set of commands that cannot be self imposed or enforced or implemented or taught.
It (like an algorithm) never sleeps but we as organic entities must take a rest or die.
Despite many advances the world is still facing many challenges that have plagued life since it began- poverty- wars- hunger etc.
It’s a no brainier that with all of our achievements we have been unable to achieve equality.
Society is no longer a few people you know.
Non organic technology life is out pacing out ability to live a life and given the pace of change it is essential that we stand up for our rights and avoid assumptions that AI is going to benefit one and all.
The question is who is going to adapt to whom?
Us, to the AI bureaucrats or them to us?
The answer is obvious to life, but not to us as we are loosing the ability to think, talk, or tell each other what is at stake.
You are not a person on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or the internet you’re a product to be bought, exploited for profit by self learning algorithms.
This is why all education should be freed, why all health care must free, why a basic living income is essential.
So we all can become spellbound, transfixed, entrenched, arrested, riveted, mesmerised call it what ever, by the beauty of life that set our selves free to come somewhere near living a full life.

With Artificial Intelligence this is a question that all countries are going to have to address within the next ten to twenty years.
For New Zealand this question is arriving in more ways than one simply question.
Grappling to this day with an agreement that dates back to 1840 (which was ment to be a partnership between the British crown and the indigenous Maori, not the other way around) New Zealand find itself politically in no man’s land.
The Maori signed a treaty written in both English and the Maori language called the Waitangi.
The current Treaty Principles Bill debate reveals a fundamental constitutional reality:
NEW ZEALAND existence is based on an imperial treaty and this treaty predates the emergence of its parliamentary democracy.
The treaty needs to be understood in the context of the age of revolution and an emerging imperial era in which European empires negotiated many treaties with each other and indigenous peoples.
So the treaty to day needs to be read in its immediate New Zealand context and British constitution history, which is based on the Magna Carta dated 1215. ( The English constitution has never been written in a single document.)
The Waitangi treaty like all British treaties points to the English notions of empire, with imbedded privilege in a graduated social hierarchy of mutual obligations- noblesse obliged.
Therefore it cannot be squashed into a later democratic paradigm of individuals with equal citizenship as the Act Party’s Bill might prefer it was.
The truth if faced, is that the treaty arose in a completely different context from the present, but still is the foundation to New Zealand constitutional arrangements with the crown. This is the position and will remain so till New Zealand stand on its own two feet and its people are no longer surf to an unelected monarchy.
This means that the treaty principles are tied to their historical foundations.
You could say that treaty settlement have done much to re-establish tribal collective identities but they do not have the right to exhaust the ongoing treaty based rights of the indigenous people- Maori who were a free people.
(Democracy itself is a Johnny come lately on the global stage, not more than a few centuries back old.) It remains the best way to co- ordinate a multi- ethnic society, but it must reflect local agreement and histories.
While New Zealand retains King Charles as head of state the British government has ongoing obligations to the indigenous peoples on which its authority is based.
Edmund Burke’s 1790 conservative policies sum up the position New Zealand finds itself in.
Society is indeed a contract… it becomes a partnership not only between those who are alive, but between those who are living and those who are dead and those who are yet to be born.
Of course New Zealand has moved on since 1840. However we all know forget the past and the present makes on sense.
We all know that stupidity is more dangerous than malice treaties. They cause civil wars, apartheid, and genocides.
Because of the very nature of treaties they lead to race politics.
Millions have died because of treaties, millions have lived because of treaties.
New Zealand problem is not who owns what land, rather race politics is and continues to divide the country.
This is also the problem with North Ireland.
A land that was taken forcibly by the English in return for a peace treaty that caused a civil war, the establishment of a apartheid state with years of killings and a new recent treaty call Good Friday. (Written in English and not Gaelic the language of the original inhabitants.)
If there’s no written constitution that enshrined equality, every decade that passes the meaning of treaties change.
This is why the need for a written constitution is paramount to interpreting any agreement/treaty.
We have and are entering a new era of digital information and Laws and the way we use them with Artificial Intelligence are developing a style of their own.
People have to be with in hearing range of each other firstly to have any agreements.
In order to unify any people/nation in the world of artificial intelligence’s there will have to be a citizen equal act against any platform, digital citizenship, algorithms greed/ profit and climate change mitigation taking precedence over the vote.
The only way to have a large-scale political conversation among diverse groups of people is to set out the terms and conditions in an agreed constitution.
The key misconception here is that we equate elections to democratic outcomes but a liberal democratic citizenship with Artificial Intelligence can only be achieved with an Equal Citizenship Act that is enshrined in a written constitution.
It could be said that Democracy is at a tipping points. Yes democracy governments are messy. They have so many demands on them that their elected members are not in touch with reality.
Whether his is true or not social media is distracting and distancing us from the real problems, giving rise to populism.
History is full of examples as to what happens when the Democratic process brakes down.
New Zealand with all its faults / beauty / expenses remains one of the best countries to settle in, and it must do everything possible to remain so by not becoming another Hong Kong abandon by the British Empire it must establish its independence internationally.
