≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS. HITLER SOLVED GERMANY UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM AFTER WORLD WAR ONE BY INCREASING SPENDING ON MANUFACTURING ARMS. UNLIKE HITLER TRUMP HAS NO IDEA THAT HE IS LIGHTING THE FUSE FOR WORLD WAR III.
Of course in German this worked till all the warehouses were full to the roof with bullets, tanks, booms.
They are of no use unless you have a war.
To day increasing military spending might not fill all the warehouses with the same equipment, but the result will be the same.
You would think that after two world wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the USA would have learned its lessons by now and do its utmost to avoid engaging in a war with IRAN
However with social media politics there is no diplomacy in our world to day. Rather we will kill you, unless you agree to our negotiations.
You would have thought that the united nations security council would not be silent.
Where are we with this new Israel attack?
Israel is well on the way to a unravelling state.
The very idea of what Israel is or should be is divide at its core.
The myths of military invincibility has been pierced by Iran.
Its once loyal allies are showing discomfort with its genocide in Gaza.
At long last we are beginning to see global opinions of Israel claim to self defence turning sour.
Its educated population is looking to get out and inward investment is coming to a halt.
Co existing with in is cracking.
God only knows that to be a secured nation, religious beliefs must have freedom of practice, privately, to be protected under a written constitution, but not have any privilege position within a nation government.
Donald Trump America first is a joke.
All of those that lick his behind for the sake of reduced tariffs are doing so in the blood of innocent children and women looking for food.

Most of us don’t even know that its old name was Persia. Ask the name of its capital city and 80% would not have a clue.
It was for centuries the ruling power.
Most of us would not be able to name its leader.
We have however come to realise that it has been attacked by Israel, which has been threatened for years to be wiped of the face of the earth by Iran.
If Israel with or without the USA think they can defeat a country that has existed for thousands of years they need their head examined.
Just look at the countries it’s borders run up against.
It is the focal point of Shia Muslin. The fifth richest country in the world both in minerals, gas, oil, designated an enemy of Israel in 1979.
Iran is a nation with a deeper than deep sense of self. Shia Muslims emphasise martyrdom. Iran has a sense of purpose that goes beyond materialism. It has evolved without loosing its core cultural essence, providing a shelter against any outside capitalist influences.
This is not just a shield it’s an active force that enlists proxy forces, such as Hamas, and the Houthi’s
Iran will fight a war with cyber weapons, drones, and missiles. Its maritime borders alone control a vast amount of trade through the strait of Hormuz.
Unlike the Palestinians Iranians will not be starved into summisoon.
Through the years of sanctions it has learned to do without western support.
Israel thinks by destroying Irans nuclear program it will be safer in the future.
You only have to looks at the Ayatollah to see that this is a folly.
This war is going on define the century to come.

≈ Comments Off on THE BEADY EYE SAYS WE HAVE REACHED IN HISTORY OF HUMANITY A POINT WHEN IT IS NECESSARY FOR US TO WALK BACKWARDS INTO THE FUTURE WITH OUR EYES FIXED ON OUR PAST.
Are we building technology for us or something else?
What is the future of us, the people?
I believe that Ai will make us even more human.
Mr Socrates
“ Wisdom comes from how little we know “
The future can only be made by asking better continuous questions. This is exactly what AI will do.
Using pseudoscience it will take a misguide leap to evade Meta’s filters and hijack community notes, eventually come to the conclusion that we are not needed.
Creating a cesspit of a world of misinformation.
Just think what it will be like when fact checkers are gone.
For the first time ever humanity must contend with a cacophony of non human voices called bots.
We will in the end trade our liberty for more certainty.
However totalitarianism will remain untenable to Ai.
Even if machine learning algorithms rules they will compete in a world of synthetic data.
The biggest challenge is not the world of technology with the convergence of humans and machines it is climate change.
So we have a choice now not tomorrow but right now.
Live with machines that will have the knowledge of all our collective humanity in a roasting world or tackle the climate that is going making living impossible.

≈ 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.
