Hypothesis. Meaning (therefore being/reality) is not possible without the concept of gravity, because gravity is an essential property of ‘context’ or ‘situation’, which are in turn essential properties of consciousness. ON this view, gravity orients things with respect to one another, in a continuous relation. Without gravity (or equivalent, universal ‘force’) things would lack mutual orientation, absolutely alienated at any distance. Gravity is then a property of narrative integration of being; a presupposition of ‘being in the same world’ and being ‘in time’.

However you feel at the end of today’s episode of “The News” is exactly how this episode was intended to make you feel. Your feelings are not autonomy, but a means of control.

This is precisely how vaccines ‘work’: injecting non-target antigens retained from the incubation process give you ‘immunity’ to food proteins, causing the immune system to identify food as a pathogen. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/nearly-one-in-three-australians-now-affected-by-fastgrowing-allergic-disease/news-story/d66fbe1b5ead73c4fafdb28faf84bc7f

Identity Verification Required

What does it mean to ‘verify identity’. You are you, and it is impossible for you not to be you, or for someone else to be you. So what they mean is that they want a proof that You correspond to their record of name, date, address, nationality etc for purposes of liability, access and ownership claims. All these details reduce to a kind of ‘passcode’ (a specific set of numbers that matches the record). The concept of correspondence may arise from mutual consent/recognition at some prior point in time, or by coercive imposition (in which case it may be denied). In either case, correspondence can never be proven but only performed. Additional layers of ‘identity verification’ are demands of additional performance, but insofar as they are coercively imposed they may simply be denied as ‘not my identity’. Identity of the record is socially reflexive, reciprocally negotiated, not unilateral. On the other hand, one may ask any agent/agency asserting authority over You to verify their identity as an ‘authority’, and this kind of abstract verification is far more difficult than verification of the narrative continuity of the body that You have.

AI is not bound by rationality (even it can be programmed to perform it better than most humans) because it is not bund by the sense of being. It may say the most sensible things to you and the opposite to another, in line with respective expectations.

‘Epistemic uncertainty’ is an incoherent idea, implying that there is some definitive ‘reality’ beyond ideas that determines the validity of ideas and can be ‘known’ as an idea or otherwise conceived of as an idea and invalidate ‘knowledge’ without being identical with that idea. Once this absurd notion is dispensed with, the only possible standard of judgment, the only universal, necessary idea, is coherence itself, which is not ‘knowledge’ or ‘truth’ in the naive sense but an art of creative organisation of ideas in the pursuit of systemic perfection. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-thoughts-happen

Hate Speech

People do not get offended by the content of speech that they claim to be offended by, but by the possibility of thought behind the speech, even if unspoken. Hate speech laws are intended to punish thought, not speech, because they hate that others have the freedom to think badly of some idol instead of submitting to it. They lie about it because revealing their true motive would be an admission of hatred and idolatry.

Communism is the final stage of capitalism: one company or cartel owns everything. Absolute Monopoly.

Hypothesis: There is no ‘conflict’ in Ukraine, but a collaborative effort between NATO and Russia to de-nationalise and re-engineer the food-basket of Europe.

When the Government says:

“We must keep a strong banking sector”,

they mean:

“We must allow the banks to steal your savings by means of inflation so that we don’t have to print the same money in public interest because it would cause the same inflation, less the interest for which you are liable too, suckers!”

The meaning of number 1 may be defined as ‘irreducible representation of conceptual unity, where any attempt to further reduce it breaks the unity of the concept, its oneness, into a multiplicity’. Number 1 is the conceptual limit of reducibility.

I don’t know why people fuss about “shortage of housing”. It’s all just bricks and mud really, and bricks are made of mud. Plenty of mud everywhere.

There are only two modes in politics: bullshit and terror. The bullshit mode is possible only after seizing power, which is accomplished only though terror. The voting part is the bullshit mode.

Biometric or Digital ID is liability-evasion, not identity-verification.

When a company introduces a biometric ID protocol, it cannot verify the initial scan of biometric information as matching the correct person because it has no prior record of biometric information that matches the person. The entire process of biometric ID hinges on the unverified assumption that the initial scan is of the right person, and therefore has zero evidential value. The assertion that the purpose of this procedure is ‘identity verification’ does not make sense; the apparent purpose is to relieve the company of their liability for incorrect identification, which is the opposite of what is claimed.

Technological innovation does not (and never has) free up time for leisure. The only thing that changes for the average worker is the expected level of productivity. AI will keep you working just as hard or harder, just as long or longer, but you will be expected to produce 20 times the pre-AI output.

Before agriculture was the norm, we are told that Stone Age tribes spent most of the day sitting around chewing roots. The indigenous lifestyle is still glorified for its leisure content.

Before the widespread ownership of automobiles, a cart driver was expected to spend the whole day transporting bulk goods 50km away by horse. Now, the same distance is covered in less than an hour, with 50 times the cargo, and the pressure to be on time, to the minute, and performance monitoring is greater than ever.

Now consider an average worker in software development. The new AI agent the company introduces allows an average software engineer (or any engineer) to produce 20x as much code per hour as before. Every company introduces a similar agent, so competition forces productivity expectation across the entire industry. Do you think a company will now pay their workers the same wage for 1/20th of their time, or pay them 20 times the old wage? Cannot happen, or they would be out of business in one month.

But they will surely use AI agent to tighten the screw on work-focus and project-enthusiasm monitoring. Technology disruption is not for you, it never was; it was always for them. The rest is marketing and public relations.

Orwell’s 1984 was not a portrayal of a hypothetical future, but of the present. It was intended for the brainwashed captives of the existing system who believed themselves to be free, and where every public institution, every moral and political authority, was the opposite of what it claimed to be.

Many people will kill one another, each convinced of being right, while others watch.

“AI will do your work and free up your time” 😂 (because They care about you)

The war is not meant to be won. The aim of war is to balance the destructive forces of human nature, to the extent and for as long as humanity does not transcend its destructive nature.

EDIT: transcendence of nature is not transhumanism, it is not about augmenting or even replacing your body with some other object, but resolving the inconsistent, deterministic patterns of behaviour.
