I have a very unusual perspective on Life. Perhaps this is the reason:
Ray lives in his sailboat.
His sailboat lives in the Ocean.
Therefore, Ray lives in the Ocean.
I have been alone at Sea for voyages that lasted as long as 30 days. During those times, my only companions lived in the Sea and the Sky. I was isolated from normal, human contact. There was no TV, no Internet, no texting.
But I did have abnormal human contact in the form of books. Great thinkers and writers were my crew-mates. Being far from the frenzy and low-grade lunacy of the Modern World, I could ponder their thinking, their eloquence, their wisdom.
One of the lessons that sang through many of their books was the danger of Humanity disconnecting itself from the Natural World. These wise men and women were warning us of this spiritual separation even a hundred years ago. Imagine how terrified they would be if they were alive today and witnessed how swiftly - and seemingly without question - we are replacing the Natural with the Artificial.
It was bad enough when real food began to give way to “artificial food products.” It was sad when real friends were replaced by “Facebook friends.” But, it is hideous when even the magnificent Human Brain is under attack from Ego-fevered scientists and New World Orderlies who are trying to impose Artificial Intelligence on the world!
Before discussing AI in particular, I’d like to focus on Artificiality in general. For millions of years, as we became Homo Sapiens Sapiens, we were vitally connected to the world that surrounded us. We hunted and foraged for our food. Later, we tilled the earth for our daily bread.
We moved with our legs and eventually domesticated a few species of animals to expand our travel horizons. We built rafts, canoes and sailing ships.
We mastered fire. We raised animals for meat, eggs, milk and hides. We learned metallurgy and improved our ability to shelter ourselves.
More importantly, we understood both intellectually and viscerally that we were part of the animal kingdom, but we also recognized that we were distinct from the other animals. In an often harsh, mysterious and hostile world, we could stand proud in our ingenuity, strength and determination.
*******
Now, look at us today. We can’t grow our own food. We have more fat people than we have fit people. We use a car rather than walking a few blocks.
Kids don’t go outside and play with each other. They stay inside, screen-staring and embracing their Inner Monster with violent video games – or should I call them video violence games.
We work for soul-less corporations in tiny, fluorescent cubicles. To distract ourselves from how meaningless our jobs are, we medicate ourselves with “screen time.”
We do so, even though we know in our heart of hearts that these screens are lying to us, shaping us, distorting us.
*******
So, what has this mindless embrace of Artificiality bequeathed us? It has led us away from the pathways that have served human societies for eons. This estrangement that we feel towards Nature, also bleeds over into our everyday lives.
The fulfillment that we once found in family, friends, community and nation, has been replaced by an over-abundance and a worship of STUFF. Many regular people in the modern world have possessions more opulent than an aristocrat from a few centuries ago.
But that wealth is hollow. This is clearly evident in the West, where drugs, alcohol, prescription meds and suicide are a true pandemic. And, to make matters even worse, when the Individual is degraded and demoralized, that condition plays right into the hands of our Malignant Overlords.
These tyrants want to turn the whole world into a High Tech Slave Planet. This is much harder for them when their potential serfs are not docile and fearful, but instead are rugged and self-reliant.
*******
The automobile is an excellent example of the neutering of ordinary people. When I was a kid, my uncles could fix their own cars. They could read a map and would have laughed at the need for a GPS voice to guide them to their destination.
But our misnamed elites desire exactly that sort of dependency. Soon, they will have us in self-driving cars that will completely eliminate the freedom that the automobile once represented and delivered. Plus, they will be able to pull the plug and disable those electric cars, if the driver upsets The Mighty Klaus.
*******
Food is also a weapon that they are using to control us.
From an agrarian planet of farmers who could feed themselves and others as well, we transitioned into a world of mega-cities where “food comes from a store or a market.”
Not only has the food delivery system changed, but the food quality has as well. And that evolution has been from Natural to Artificial. Manure-grown crops and grass-fed animals have been supplanted by chemical fertilizers and corn-fed cows.
However, it gets even worse as the “food products” become so “processed” that they barely have any nutritional value. Over-fed but under-nourished people become “balloon people.”
Hefty, junk food junkies are far less likely to resist their enslavement. Whereas, well-nourished, vigorous, self-resilient individuals are a tyrant’s nightmare.
But the human “food system” is cartwheeling towards an almost unimaginable dystopian future. Our Malignant Overlords are buying up huge swaths of farmland (We see you Bill Gates.) Their obvious conspiracy is to remove that land from agricultural use and create a horrific famine.
Simultaneously, there have been “mysterious” fires at dozens of vital food storage or processing facilities. These events are clearly arson, but they rarely get mentioned by the Mainstream Presstitutes.
Their plan certainly seems obvious to me. They want to create a totally artificial 21st Century Slave Food. Klaus and his Klowns will do everything in their power to force us to “Eat zee bugs.”
They will wreck us with lab-grown “meats.” They will force feed us insect and algae goo. And ultimately, they will convert human remains into food wafers like in the movie Soylent Green.
*******
At the end of that movie, Charlton Heston is desperately screaming out the warning that “Soylent Green is people.”
The best that I can do is hammer out on my laptop an even more dire warning:
Soylent Green is not just a movie, it is a rapidly approaching REALITY.
*******
I will address Artificial intelligence in the near future.
