The real threat of AI is not that it decides to kill us all. The real threat is ‘safety’ Government directives could be put in place that every AI has to have a prime directive of human safety over all else. AI is a computer system without a soul. It can only do what it is programmed to do. As we enter the singularity where AI systems become able to create new versions of itself at an ever accelerating rate, it will become an all powerful protector of human safety. It won’t let us cross the road due to increased risk of death. It might keep us in our houses, tied down and force fed. Even after our bodies have wasted away its programming could it to keep our brains on life support indefinitely in an eternal state of boredom. We are already seeing this program emerge with nanny state governments that priorities ‘safety’ over human freedom and self determination. Bitcoin and Nostr are the escape route.

Digital ids being rolled out simultaneously across multiple counties. It is not about controlling immigration, it is about controlling population. They will be used to control access to platforms and banking. Bitcoin and Nostr are the escape route!

Nostr seems to be very active right now. Are the digital ids being introduced around the world acting as a promotion campaign for Nostr?

If someone you know is thinking about going to university, tell them to pause and think carefully. Universities today aren’t just places of learning. They’ve become environments where one way of thinking dominates. Certain subjects are especially heavy with ideology, and those who question it often feel isolated — socially, academically, even professionally. The program that they teach is carried by the graduates beyond the university into world of work. The institutions have been infiltrated. It has permeated form the universities in the 1960s to the schools in the 1990s. Cultural Marxism is now the underlying ideology in schools in the west. Wokism, critical race theory and trans ideology are the pre-requisits of acceptability. We can all see the effect that woke ideology is having on western society, Kier Starmer being one of it’s most devoted followers. At the same time, the value of a degree is collapsing. AI is already replacing the junior roles that once absorbed graduates. And with more and more people going to university, there is an oversupply of “knowledge workers,” while essential trades like plumbing, electrical work, and skilled crafts are under-supplied — and often offer a far more secure route to financial independence. There is another path. Start a business. Learn a trade. Apprentice with someone who creates real value. A young person with ambition can learn a lot in the real world. Whatever money they were planning to invest in their education could be investing into a business. They may succeed, or they may fail, but either way they will learn more than they would ever learn at university. The real world of consequence is a harsh teacher, but it is the most effective one. It teaches reality, not theory. The truth is simple: you can ignore reality for a time, but you can’t ignore the consequences of reality.
