Happy Christmas/Hanukkah from Trinity Acres

Happy Christmas/Hanukkah from Trinity Acres – home of this Grateful Recovering Deadhead, Zen Baptist, Groucho Marxist, eCommerce Entrepreneur, Remote Online Notary, Dudist Monk, Army Veteran, Advocate for Democracy, Longevity Enthusiast and long-time Software Aficionado.

Susan has taken on a leadership role in People4People, speaking from stage and continuing her writing journey with Empowering Women’s Alliance. Sarah is doing well and has found a new interest in baking. I’m pretending to be retired and focusing on my education now that the election is over. No more canvassing and volunteering with the Pima Dems, so I might as well learn massage, reiki, cyber security, software development and how best to exploit AI.

This year America voted for autocracy over democracy. That’s a little disappointing. I’ll concede that neither of the current American political parties have proven to us that they have our best interests at heart. That being said, The choices in the last election were clear. Perpetuate at least an illusion of democracy and the liberal consensus, or cede power to the broligarchy. The wannabe trillionaires appear to be so greedy that they’re willing to destroy all the progress we’ve made over the last century to expand the vast wealth they already control.

Research from the Rand Corporation shows that the top 1% of U.S. income earners have taken more than $50 trillion from the bottom 90% over the past several decades. That study was from the last decade, and my guess is that the number is substantially higher. The wealth gap not only continues, but widens at an accelerating pace. Can we count on the giants of industry and commerce to have our best interest at heart? That supposition has little evidence to support it other than a few libraries, schools and museums.

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is here. Now. What does that mean for all of us? We really don’t know.

On the one hand, it is now possible to create literature, music, art and “film” from a text prompt.
It may also mean we have access to education for the masses, solving climate change, curing previously incurable diseases and creating free energy.

On the other hand, if an artificial super-intelligence (ASI) realizes that humanity is not only unnecessary but dangerous to the planet, then all the post apocalyptic scenarios from Skynet to the Matrix may come to pass. Hopefully, there’s a power at work in the universe that will allow for the evolution of the species.

What’s my take away? Stay healthy, work on myself spiritually, learn AI and build multiple streams of income to support creating safe communities for our fellow travelers that are at risk.

Currently on a OPC3/Juice+ kick leading into a Reset 25 start to the new year. Susan and I are both in Wisdom this year, although we may not be posting our insights to FaceBook or other social media where the algorithm is controlled by the broligarchy. And I’m also looking for alternatives that are more open to different points of view. Also learning what I can about autonomous AI agents, including AgentForce.

I’m experimenting with sustainable housing. We tried a 300 square foot bell tent, a cabin tent and a dome tent in our first foray into glamping. All of those failed miserably. Too much wind up here on Hilltop and the sun can be brutal. Now we’re toying with the idea of domes. Aircrete in the DomeGaia tradition, and/or geodesic following Buckminster Fuller’s pattern.

Also see value in lightening up. I would love to give away a few hundred books, CDs, DVDs, bootleg cassettes, reel-to-reel tapes, and equipment to a good home. The end-game would be to downsize into an RV or sailboat.

The journey continues…

The right gets the feelings right

I’ve been watching Bernie’s podcast and Naomi Klein is brilliant. The extreme right gets the facts wrong and the feelings right. Working class Americans feel like the system is rigged against them and the left is not proposing any real answers to their problems. This gave Steve Bannon an opportunity to play on our fears and propose a set of strategies to fill this void. It doesn’t matter that their explanations for why the American dream evaporated were trumped up and lack factual basis. They can vilify who they wish – as long as there’s somebody to blame. Global elites, Jewish space lasers or immigrants streaming across the border. It doesn’t matter. They say all we need is somebody that will stand against the imaginary villains and stand up for the God fearing Americans.

I have railed against the right for having a platform with no solutions. That’s not true. Their solution is “lock them up”. It doesn’t matter that it wouldn’t help and would spell out the end of democracy. The dems offer tiny gains designed to offer a modicum of relief using the system we have now. Maga offers extreme changes that require burning the system down. Unfortunately, it’s fascism right out of Nazi Germany in the 30s, and will not only bring about the collapse of democracy, but will in all likelihood spell the end of human life on the planet as climate change makes it unlivable for all but the most resilient lifeforms. If Trump wins in November and the reincarnationists are right, get ready to come back as bacteria.

Above Majestic

I find Above Majestic disturbing. Why? It’s not just the wild theories regarding extraterrestrials and nazis. It demonizes segments of the population with the aim of creating division and paranoia. It also calls into question all of conventional thought and the education system as a whole. If I’m understanding the gist of the thought process, it would have us believe that everything ever taught in schools, everything that can be found in published works and everything in the media is disinformation. That seems like a goto strategy for any group to explain why their version of events is true when they are in conflict with substantiated fact. The strategy isn’t new. Conspiracy theorists used the same push buttons about child welfare in the early 80’s to nix the Comprehensive Child Development Act and push back on the feminist movement when women were trying to enter the workplace and assert their independence.

And they sprinkle in a few obscure but plausible tidbits about people, places and events in an attempt to substantiate the concoction. Seems to be working, and I’m saying that because I personally know individuals that seem to have bought it hook, line and sinker.

So what is the take away? Fact check such theories before spreading them as “truth”. Look closely at who will benefit from the fear and distrust that a story is attempting to create. What does my gut tell me about those spreading hate as opposed to those they’re vilifying. Look in their eyes and search for compassion and humanity. Who is really the victim?

Anyway, I think “The Illuminatus Trilogy” would be a great antidote for this hysteria if you could get someone in the grips of it to take the time to read it. At the very least, it brings a sense of humor to the apocalypse and the notion of an all-powerful cabal.
