It’s January and the New Year is upon us.
It’s customary at this time of year for those of us pundits and pontificators who make our living scanning the news feeds to make our predictions for the coming year, so—why not?—I’ll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring, too.
But this year I’m going to do something a little different: I’m going to make one Sure-Bet prediction, one Maybe Possible prediction and one It’s Not Technically Impossible! aspirational prediction.
Let’s go!
The Ai that people are familiar with is not the Ai that is posing the biggest threat. I have mentioned this before in varying capacity but will reiterate. A technique known as Agent Based Modelling within the context of Complex Adaptive Systems is what people need to be looking at. This technique can implement Ai to a network and manipulate outcomes in very esoteric and obscure ways. A butterfly flapping it’s wings type stuff. The people who created the A-bomb went on to develop this, dare I say this technology is more powerful than the A-bomb. My hope is you all look into this so as the small fraction of you that actually grasp the implications can start finding better ways to communicate this unseen danger. Look at the “Santa Fe Institute” in the US and the “Alan Turing institute” in the UK. If you dig a few layers deep on both these websites and don’t get butterflies in your stomach your a braver soul than I. IBM Watson and IBM’s “brain in a box” also needs further light shine on it. IBM and it’s partners need to be technically scrutinised and aggressively audited.
These are also the tools that enable very real weather manipulation.
I love your attitude. It’s refreshing in a world of doom and gloom. When I’ve reached my limit and have room for no more fear, deceit and lies I come to this site and get refreshed. I have been following you since you first video before NWNW even. I have checked out your sources and have found you to be one to be trusted.
So thank you James for years of truths
One can hope that this is the year the zionist project finally disintegrates. At the very least, I hope that more of the world wakes up and resists.
I had been fumbling round all day , looking for a quote and wah- la! It was so related to this report I must include it here. Tacitus. Yes that one. The well thought of Roman historians’ historian. The quote goes like this.
” These times having the rare good fortune that you may think what you like and say what you think.”
It seems even back then that he knew what the past and future could be quite the other way . Say you remember Blairs and Dickens and Kafka just so recently . Rulers like Tito, Mio, Tiberius even didn’t like back- talk. You name a few? They were real and we have blue skies right now . Tacitus , was as we are now in a sweet spot. The Roman garrison Emperors , like what we are now beginning in the USA ,would go on for 600 more years. History has a lot to offer us. We can dream or we can do something. Now is the hour. We are in the sweet spot. Will history repeat it’s self? Or , possibly time will rev up that 600 year run to just another 100yrs. Well I don’t know. But if there ever was a sweet spot for writing of our past or our future, now is the time of that hour. It could be what we want it to be. War is over if we want it could be in the Ox History Quotes a hundred years from now instead of what G.Blair for-told.

James,
I enjoyed your religious poetry at the end.
Dreaming has its place, and I don’t mind you sharing yours.
Artificial Intelligence and natural stupidity, the perfect pair…
It is clear that AI is very ‘woke’. Is it really intelligent? That would seem like a real oxymoron.
To me, the excitement of watching the near future, comes from seeing if, and how, we can avoid becoming extremely dependent and manipulated by AI.
On the meat space slice of enjoying life because it is there to be enjoyed, I attended a Folk Music Festival recently. There, all sorts gathered for the pleasure of listening to good musicians do their thing. It was low key and lovely. One wandered from one small venue to the next to hear peoples’ music originating from many cultures.
Two highlights:
* A performance told the history of the Irish banished from Ireland to “Van Diemens Land”, many because of their political organising after the Potatoe Famines which killed a million Irish around 1850. The spoken word history was interleaved with Irish/Celtic music played on traditional instruments. The most wonderful were flute and fiddle playing in unison. There is something about these instruments together, playing Irish melodies. It is pure magic.
* Two young people, one acoustic guitar, one drum kit (and taborine), two voices in harmony. The two gifted performers who had the whole room up dancing by the end. Musicianship is one skill. Performing is another. This duo had both.
