To live is the rarest thing in the world.

“ Most people exist, that is all.”

Oscar Wilde.

We live in a world that seems increasingly beyond our control.

Our livelihoods are at the whim of algorithms and globalised forces, while most of our politicians are distant and unresponsive to our desires.

We are becoming just products of our times.

The individual is just a myth; human behavior can be reduced to statistical trends.

You can’t control what happens, but you can control how you react to it.

To breathe lungfuls of life that gasp you awake from the trance of near-living induced by the system of waste and want we call civilisation, is becoming more and more difficult.

The world we live in is beautiful beyond the Smart Phone and what is called Shorts on U Tube.

—————

The unknown is in some sense always beyond us because it is always inside us— that is what true solitude reveals, why it can be so clarifying and so terrifying at the same time, but as long as we are waiting, we are not living.

Life is an everlasting need to make the unknown known.

Not for the sake of knowing, not to inform itself or be informed or wise, but for the need to exercise the need to know?

We live for those fantastic and unreal moments of beauty which our thoughts may build upon the passing panorama of experience.

These moments are only possible with education, travel, and sharing.

What is that need but the imagination’s hunger for the new and raw materials of its creative trade of the mind.

The most elemental questions of existence — why are we here, how did we get here, what does it mean to be alive, to have purpose, to wield a will against the given of the universe?

These questions will never be answered by artificial intelligence, it will require a conceptual brain that is fully conscious.

When critical thinking dies. Stupidity taker over.,

( Fifteen minute read.)

The drift toward authoritarianism rarely announces itself with a bang; it begins long before the public recognizes the danger.

It begins with language: the slow, deliberate reclassification of fellow citizens as lesser, suspect, or dangerous.

Once a government convinces people that some among them are unworthy of rights or empathy, the rest becomes frighteningly easy.

Authoritarian systems rarely begin with mass repression. They begin by redefining who counts as a threat.

In any situation, friction can never be eliminated, one can only increase or decrease the friction between two surfaces, or situations.

Friction does not depend on the area of contact, but in a world without friction it would quickly become a homogenous blob of elemental particles.

However in this post I am not talking about friction in its physical state, but friction between humans in the coming world of technology algorithms.

When earth is viewed from space there are no countries, we have carved them out of ideologies and blood.

The understanding of the human condition has been a mystery for millions of years. However if we started promoting understanding of environmental sustainability, empathy, and conflict resolution through education, we can cultivate a culture of peace from a young age and change direction to a caring world.

This has been true up now.

To day we have decisions been taken and made by machines, with no human understanding. So it’s essential that we have transparency if society is to be ruled by technology.

Humans Should Be in Control:

Algorithms should be tools that assist humans, not replace them entirely.

—————————

Futurists have long debated the arrival of the singularity, when human and artificial intelligence will merge.

Some form of merger is inevitable and it is taking place right now.

Of course, this “Brave New World” of a hybrid AI-human existence brings with it a plethora of issues both political and personal.

What will humans do for jobs? Could we possibly live forever? Would that change the very idea of what it means to be human?

As long as we have countries it is inevitable that we will have friction. This is why the world needs a strong United Nations.

Authoritarian systems rarely begin with mass repression. They begin by redefining who counts as a threat. And that is precisely what we are witnessing now.

When administrations label their critics as victims of “evil,” “radicalized,” or part of a “terrorist network,” it is not engaging in politics.

It is engaging in dehumanization.

History shows that once a government normalizes this language, the slide accelerates.

The state becomes both narrator and arbiter of reality. Citizens become suspects. Violence becomes self‑defense. Democracy becomes optional.

The danger we face is not only the violence we see in the world.

It is the narrative that follows:  That is the moment when democracies falter. It is the moment when the government stops speaking about its citizens as citizens.

Or we can recognize what history makes plain: once a government convinces the public that some people are enemies, it rarely stops there.

It’s time that the super wealthy were exposed. Thankfully Mr Donald Trump is doing just that.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS ARE WE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LOOSING THE MEANING OF OUR LIVES?

27 Tuesday Jan 2026

( Seven minute read)

Life is all around us. In most cases it has evolved and is still evolving, but are we coming to the end of its evolutionary ability with AGI.

Life I suppose is that which we choose to give it.

According to Wikipedia :

“ The  meaning of life is the concept of an individual’s life’s human life, or existences in general having an inherent significance or a philosophical point.”

“There is no consensus on the specifics of such a concept, or whether the concept itself even exists in any objective sense.”

It’s not a mood or an achievement, but a way of seeing reality clearly and still saying yes to life.

With the arrival of the internet / social media/ profit seeking Algorithms/ and the forthcoming AGI it’s becoming boring because joy is less about ease and more about connection, openness, and love.

We are already trading the complex diversity of human thought for an ultra-processed linguistic diet.

The traditional advice to “trust your eyes and ears” has become dangerously obsolete, as has our tendency toward “seeing is believing.”

But can Hybrid intelligence, marry human intuition with AI’s analytical rigor, can amplify human potential.

As we move toward a hybrid future, the intimate relationship between natural intelligence and artificial intelligence  (AI) is becoming essential to our identity.

We’ve entered an era of hybrid intelligence where the line between our words and the algorithms that suggest them blurs.

The loss of linguistic diversity may be the first warning sign of deeper issues ahead.

Consider what happens when an AI knows you’re most susceptible to emotional appeals late at night, understands exactly which conspiracy theories align with your existing anxieties, and can deploy that knowledge with perfect timing.

Language is more than a communication tool; it’s the scaffolding of thought. 

We are in the midst of a rupture of life on Earth with not just AI but climate change and the ignorance of a United States president named Donald Dump tearing what left of world order, it’s time we stood up and be counted.

It would be fair to say that we are now on borrowed time to do anything about the direction of life is going.

How we answer this is as it always has been will determine our lives.

Unfortunately with AI we are no longer sure what the right choice is.

My personal opinion is that I am applaud by the lack of attention our governments are paying to the problems that AI is creating, which is and will be on a vast scale.

If we don’t now enshrine human values into a future with AGI it will create its own values.

We readily embrace the promise of effortless efficiency.

But are we trading the complex diversity of human thought for eco chambers.

In work and life environments where AI is increasingly pervasive, our brains consume linguistic fast food—sweet and easy to swallow, but lacking the complex nutrients of local dialect, spicy slang, and idiosyncratic quirks.

Are we heading toward a future where vocabularies become uniform, mirroring how American fast food exported a simplified flavor palette worldwide?

The implications extend beyond language.

Beyond concerns about linguistic marginalization, we should worry about the homogenization of certain values and mindsets. 

Consider how AI handles conflict resolution.

JAI productivity tools assume time is linear, scarce, and must be optimized, a distinctly Western industrial framework.

Even concepts of time reflect cultural bias.

To prevent mental fast-foodization, we must practice active cognitive resistance, which starts with double literacy: using AI for efficiency while maintaining the natural intelligence to judge, critique, and override it.

Accept AI as part of our cognitive ecosystem, but don’t accept its outputs as truth or finality. 

These same technologies are learning to exploit the very cognitive shortcuts that helped our ancestors survive, shortcuts that now make us vulnerable to manipulation at a unprecedented scale.

Live your life don’t let it be sold as a product for profit.

Our mind is our biggest friend and enemy when it comes to the hybrid future.

AI can deceive us, but only if we adopt an attitude of chosen blindness will it succeed.

Social media platforms exploit these tendencies brilliantly, offering instant dopamine  hits from likes and shares, training us to crave quick emotional rewards rather than slower, more demanding forms of understanding.

Then time has come to open our eyes and look at what we’d rather not see.

THE BEADY EYE ASKS. WHY ARE WE FASCINATED BY VIOLENCE ?

We all have different personalities, mental models, emotions, needs, wants, goals, values and beliefs, which shaped who we are and partially determined what we do.

It begs the question: what kind of mind wants to witness violence – adrenaline junkies.

What does it say about us—individually, culturally, psychologically—that cruelty has become entertainment, and aggression has become identity?

The attraction to violence doesn’t come out of nowhere.

We don’t crave violence because we’re cruel—we crave it because we’re human.

Because it gives structure to chaos, power to the powerless, and a feeling—any feeling—when we’ve gone emotionally numb.

Why do we settle in for an evening with movies drenched in bloodshed?

Human beings are not simply passive consumers of story; we are meaning-makers wired for survival.

In a sense, violent media allows the viewer to outsource their primal fears to someone else’s narrative.

We get to watch someone else survive—or perish—while we stay in control of our environment.

But the way that violence is packaged, consumed, and even glorified is not the same across cultures.

When we examine global media patterns, American media differs from other societies when it comes to glamorizing aggression.

American media, in particular, has made violence synonymous with excitement, justice, and even virtue.

And the internet has made the distribution of violence easy. With a few clicks, anyone can access footage that would have once been buried or censored.

Social media is saturated with violence in all its forms and it is influenced us to the extent that we are risking becoming spectators in our own lives—watching pain like a plot point, framing suffering as something that needs to be “dealt with,” rather than witnessed.

And slowly, almost imperceptibly, we lose touch with our own moral compass.

It’s not just about the moment—it’s about the culture we’ve absorbed. We’ve been taught that dominance is clarity. That loudness is leadership. That the one who controls the room controls the truth.

But this isn’t emotional strength—it’s emotional fragility dressed as certainty.

And it’s costing us more than we think.

It is possible to choose curiosity over compulsion, presence over passivity, humanity over brutality.

However it will never feel as easy. It won’t give you the instant gratification of a fight scene. It won’t resolve in 90 minutes. It takes more from you—but it gives more in return.

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked a frenzy well beyond the technology sector.

For example: The gaming world is saturated with violence.

Today’s technological era would astonish past generations.  Unlike the past when the march of history was at a stately pace it is now not constant — it is rapidly accelerating.

Everything around us seems to be changing at breakneck speed. Twenty years ago, smartphones were niche products.

The emerging power and associated risks of AI doesn’t just exist in their training datasets.

From fraud detection and customer service to cyber security analytics and risk scoring, AI algorithms are now influence outcomes across the face of the globe.

It’s not surprising that the public is developing a false sense of security that superintelligence is not an urgent risk to society. 

Like it or not, there is increasing evidence that frontier AI systems do not just store text patterns as statistical correlations, but also build structured internal representations (i.e., “world models”) that abstract the concepts described in the ingested content.

AI systems can solve problems that do not exist in their training datasets, thereby demonstrating out-of-distribution reasoning.

In addition, today’s large models can solve problems presented in formats other than text descriptions. 

I say all of this as someone who believes society should-not be racing to build superintelligent systems.

I believe that AI systems will become smarter and faster than individual humans by a wide margin, but that does not guarantee that the systems will represent human interests, morals, or sensibilities when solving problems.

Knowing humans might be good but that is not the same as being human.

In the age of polarization Artificial Intelligence through Social Media is amplifying societal polarization.,

AI could create destabilizing shifts in the balance of power or negatively influence human strategic judgment in ways that fuel misperceptions it will cause wars.

As extremist groups and state actors weaponize social media, the rise of AI threatens to amplify these risks at a scale that was previously unimaginable.

AI can make war faster, more brutal, and far more impersonal.

The potential for AI misidentifying targets, being hacked, or malfunctioning is immense not to mention that it is more or less unaccountable.

This is the most urgent problem – to create some way of making AI and its algorithms ACCOUNTABILITY. As with all powerful technologies, advanced AI must be handled with great responsibility to manage the risks and harness its potential.

People could intentionally harness powerful AIs to cause widespread harm.

The list of harmful possibilities.,

1) AI could be used to engineer new pandemics or for propaganda, censorship, and surveillance, or released to autonomously pursue harmful goals.

2) Competition could push nations and corporations to rush AI development, relinquishing control to these systems. Conflicts could spiral out of control with autonomous weapons and AI-enabled cyberwarfare.

3). There are risks that organizations developing advanced AI cause catastrophic accidents, particularly if they prioritize profits over safety. AIs could be accidentally leaked to the public or stolen by malicious actors, and organizations could fail to properly invest in safety research. 

4). AIs could optimize flawed objectives, drift from their original goals, become power-seeking, resist shutdown, and engage in deception, catapulting humanity into a new period of unprecedented change.

The rapid and unpredictable progression of AI capabilities suggests that they may soon rival the immense power of nuclear weapons.

With the clock ticking, immediate, proactive measures are needed to mitigate these looming risks.

Infinite growth on a finite planet is probably the biggest lie.

If anyone thinks that this transition is not going to be easy or smooth they better open their eyes as there is no focus on safety.

In the next three to ten years this transition is going to happen.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. HOW DO YOU PUT A MONETARY VALUE ON A COUNTRY.

( SIX MINUTE READ)

It’s absurd to think that anyone could set a monetary value on any country.

It’s not possible as there are so many variables.

You can’t draw up an inventory. To measure what matters is impossible.

There is no Market for buying or selling countries.

Even if the Donald Trumps of this world think of they can make an offer that cannot be refused under the threat of invasion any change to a country without consent of it’s population remains an act of war/invasion.

However will countries ever start counting what really makes them tick other than GDP.

It’s the people that count and how well their governments look after them whether it’s education, health, etc.

Take Norway for example.

Because they are a homogenous, small population, and because they are rich from having large oil resources.

From pristine natural beauty and a strong commitment to work-life balance to robust social support systems and low corruption levels, Norway’s recipe for happiness has become a model for many.

Money solves a lot of problems and having everyone share similar values and culture avoids conflict.,

To add to this; they have a lot of control over their government and what their taxes are spent on. 

Monetary value is the value of something measured in currency.

Almost everything relevant to a modern economy can be measured by its monetary value.

The price, or monetary value, of something is determined in the marketplace and is based upon the law of supply and demand

BUT THIS DOES NOT WORK WHEN IT COMES TO TRYING TO BUY A COUNTRY.

Monetary items are assets or liabilities with a fixed value. 

Is it the GDP, the population, the minerals, the size, the environment, the history, they have no fix value.

The key with monetary items is that their dollar value does not fluctuate.

However the purchasing power can change, such as with inflation.

Monetary items don’t gain value in the market and cannot go obsolete. Therefore a non monetary item is subject to a change in value and cannot be quickly converted to cash.

We have entered the age of open thuggery, as the brutality Israel tested on Palestinians is now being normalised elsewhere.

Over more than two years, international law has been rendered meaningless, trampled alongside the bodies of children, doctors, journalists and patients bombed in their homes and hospitals.

We either defend the legal principles designed to prevent war, or watch the international system collapse under the weight of unchecked power politics. 

Intervention is no longer cloaked in euphemism or filtered through institutions. It is declared, personalised, theatrical and unapologetic. 

Up to now 19th-century empires cloaked conquest in the language of civilisation and progress.

Trump seeks no such legitimacy. Domination is justified by power alone.

International law is being dismantled plank by plank, body by body.

Those who now lament its demise are the same actors who engineered its destruction.

This is the age of open thuggery.

It’s quite difficult to determine the exact number orbiting the Earth on a particular day, 14000 to 15000.

There are currently 111 satellites that are orbiting objects other than the Earth.

There were 639 launches in the first three months of 2025.

While you are probably thinking that it’s amazing that we have almost 15 000 satellites are orbiting the Earth, not all of them are working.

There are a significant number that have gone wrong, run out of fuel, or got to the end of their life.

They were simple left up in space or expected to go into a decaying orbit and eventually come back to Earth.

There are almost 4 000 useless metal objects above our heads travelling at up to 28 000 kilometres an hour!

Once one of them goes off course and crashes into another it will cause a domino effect.

Just imagine what will happen on earth. The collapse of all communication.

One of the great challenges will be how is responsible when they start to break up into metal rain.

A solar flare could damage all the electronics in orbiting satellites, disrupting navigation and communications systems, as well as the GPS time synchronisation that the internet relies on to function.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS GOVERNANCE IS BECOMING MORE BY REALITY TV, ALGO

From reality TV screens to the halls of power, have we traded substance for spectacle in choosing our leaders?

Reality television has not only shaped our views but has also become a pipeline for political power.

It might be a deliberate tool to make people easier to manipulate and control.

It desensitize us to drama and distract us from the real issues facing the world. 

The rise of Donald Trump, a reality TV star turned president, is the most glaring example. 

—————————

It has transformed what should be serious political discourse into a social media spectacle that perfectly encapsulates our current democratic crisis.

The mechanics are straightforward:

Generate controversy, dominate media cycles, and use the attention to advance political objectives without democratic scrutiny.

So billionaires ego battles have replaced substantive policy discourse as the primary mechanism of political engagement.

Online spaces are designed for fast content consumption, rather than meaningful political debate, which is fuelling social conflict. 

The short-form nature of many online interactions can result in miscommunication, misunderstanding and warping of debated topics that result in unproductive political discussion.

THE BEADY EYE SAYS. MADURO ADDUCTION SHOWS THAT INTERNATIONAL LAW IS A JOKE.

04 Sunday Jan 2026

( Ten minute read)

Is there really such a thing as “international law,” if there are no actual written, legislated and binding statutes constituting it?

Sadly, this is why international law is a joke.

Countries don’t have army’s to uphold any laws other than laws within their own borders.

The history of our species unfortunately is full of violence and will remain so. But ultimately it comes down to how you define things.

The first difficulty we have is effectively defining ‘what is a law’.

There are lots of competing definitions and descriptions for what a law really is.

But whilst I don’t think there is a universally agreed concept, most people regress to the ‘command of the state’ concept.

If that is so, then international law is clearly not ‘law’ in that sense – it does not represent the command of any state.

The second problem we have is the whole question of ‘what is the substantive content international law’ is actually pretty fuzzy.

The boundaries and the detailed rules are far from clear. So we are not even certain what it is we are trying to find a definition for.

International law lacks many of the keys concepts that we traditionally associate with the term ‘law’:

  • the rules do not represent the command of any state or sovereign
  • there is no tribunal with original jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the rules
  • most international laws only exist because the parties have voluntarily subjected themselves to them
  • there is no penalty or sanction for breach or non-compliance – ‘remedies’ in international law tend to be of the self-help nature where they even exist, but countries do not get ‘fined’ or ‘sent to jail’
  • In most cases, the parties who are bound by the rules can cease to be bound by those rules at their own election by withdrawing from the relevant.
  • The truth is and has always been the powerful do as they please. 
  • The best views, think of international law like a handshake agreement amongst friends.
  • How do you force your friends to hold up their end of things? Except not everybody making the deals are friends.

The US is just taking it as a given that it has de facto jurisdiction over the nations of Syria, Iraq, and Iran, and now Venezuel.

Any attempt to interfere in its authority in the region is an unprovoked attack which must be defended against.

This is completely backwards and illegitimate.

Only through the most perversely warped American supremacist reality tunnels can it look valid to dictate the affairs of sovereign nations on the other side of the planet and respond with violence if anyone in those nations tries to eject them.

MADURO might be an evil person ( he is far from the first) but this doesn’t give any country the right to enter an other sovereign nation without consequences.

The seizure of Nicolás Maduro from his country in the middle of the night might have violated various domestic and international laws, but it was not at odds with America’s historic willingness to bend all kinds of rules in its own backyard

WHERE IS THE INTERSECTION OF TECHNOLOGY, POWER, CULTURE?

( Ten minute read)

At its core, culture is the vibrant, shared understanding of how we live, behave, and believe. It encompasses traditions, values, languages, art, and societal norms, essentially acting as the invisible framework that shapes our collective identity. 

In today’s fast-evolving world, the blend of culture and technology defines the success of digital transformation initiatives across industries. But without a cultural shift that promotes learning and adaptation, even the best technology can encounter pushback.

Let’s be clear, there is no going back, nothing exists in isolation.

This has given rise to new challenges and opportunities, reshaping how organizations operate, engage, and innovate.

The dispersal of information via digital technology can fundamentally change the ways in which cultures view and interact with other cultures.

Artists are using technology as a tool for creative expression, pushing the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums.

The intersection of art and technology holds both cultural and creative potential.

Collaboration between art and science drives innovation and advances in both fields.

While we’re waiting for the next moonshot to save the planet or the next billionaire to go bust, we won’t much notice that our chicken wings are being delivered by a robot.

———————

The fact that people are tiring of relentless centralisation, and are looking for new ways to gather and organise is perhaps the most obvious point of intersection.

People working with machines; Polarisation and decentralisation; Inequality; and Regulatory entanglements there is plenty of overlap between those topics within the world of technology.

It seems motivated by a desire to find new ways of distributing power and assets in the face of climate injustice, deepening poverty, and financial exclusion.

So these social shifts seemed more significant to us than any of the technical attributes.

Three decades of the World Wide Web have made it much easier for large numbers of people to find affinity with people who share their beliefs.

Digital platforms have amplified the dissemination of cultural values, allowing societies to share practices and traditions across borders.

However we must be aware that we are a part of nature not apart from it. In nature power is not always loud.
