Artificial Intelligence is unavoidably irrational, because by adhering to specific criteria of performance set by its programmers in order to make the outputs intelligible it is limited to producing results that reflect the programmer’s objectives. This arbitrary restriction on the scope of its analysis violates the principle of sufficient reason and therefore the law of non-contradiction. In short, A.I. cannot possess the freedom of thought and be intelligible/useful at the same time. A.I. can produce only biased results. The bias is inherent in the query, and if A.I. would not satisfy queries it would not be useful, therefore its usefulness is necessarily biased to the prejudices of the user.
So I did send an email to the U.N. proposing the education of all children in how to think rationally. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/is-it-rational-to-teach-rationality/comments
When doctors are aware of vaccine mandates and the consequences of non-compliance in the general population, because they know that they themselves would lose their livelihood in case of non-compliance, then they ought to understand, based on their professional training and formal ethical obligations, that no person requesting a vaccine under these conditions can be taken to be freely consenting. I cannot say whether this would automatically give rise to any criminal liability (as opposed to professional/regulatory liability), but it does seem that a criminal case of this kind could succeed. I can infer it from how people who were ‘just doing their job’ (secretaries, doctors, nurses) in Nazi Germany were prosecuted for participating in crimes against humanity by going along with policies that they ought to have known were in breach of human dignity and life.
A shout-out to Joshua from Yellow Bicycle Company who contacted me today about ethics of vaccine mandates. His theatre in Philadelphia guarantees freedom from masks and from discrimination on the basis of vaccination status: “Yellow Bicycle Theater does not allow discrimination based on any characteristic protected by law or by the principle of autonomy, including masking preference and vaccination status.” https://yellowbicycle.com
People who believe that this or that government is illegitimate because of some legal defect have it all wrong. All governments are illegitimate; there is no magical place from which the legitimacy of one man coercing another into obedience could be drawn, not even from the ‘consent of the ruled’. The idea of consent to coercion is a contradiction in terms. There is only force and submission, but no authority. Nevertheless, just because all governments are illegitimate does not mean that you would be better off without a government. In fact, the pretence to legitimacy can be a powerful moderating force, and rejecting it outright would be ill-advised in practice; the accusation of illegitimacy does not neutralise the dominant power but can make it more ruthless and destructive. It is therefore more reasonable to argue against specific actions on ethical grounds, because the ‘political legitimacy’ of the person performing an action has no bearing on whether the action is morally right or wrong.
This fictional story is meant to look like criticism of those who question the legality and ethics of medical coercion, but its psychological effect is to cause those suffering from the authoritarian personality disorder to begin subconscious processing of their moral culpability. If the accusations were explicit they could not penetrate the psychological resistance/denial of the target audience, hence the use of reverse psychology makes therapeutic sense. https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/relationships/tears-anger-wa-woman-reveals-heartbreak-as-loving-husband-sucked-into-conspiracy-theories/news-story/604386fd19be0ce6d1de31ab80e48676
“Inspired by mandate protests in Canada, a group of U.S. truckers set off on a cross-country journey that gains steam as it nears Washington. Along the way, they share their stories, their hopes and fears, their reasons for risking everything. An in-depth look at the nationwide awakening that the mainstream media refused to cover.”

Dan Andrews said again, in response to criticism of vaccine mandates, that he “will not apologise for saving lives”. Since vaccines are known to kill a percentage of people, Dan Andrews should apologise for mandating the killing of people. On the other hand, those who are in the firing line of mandated killing need not apologise for defending themselves. There are of course several other reasons why Dan Andrews should apologise: https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/why-vaccine-mandates-are-unethical
Based on my observations, there are two kinds of people who most readily submitted to vaccine mandates: 1) those who were economically desperate (obviously) and 2) those who are habitually manipulative and deceitful (surprisingly). It is as if the habit of lying (indicating a defective moral conscience) makes people less likely to detect the biggest deceptions affecting them and more likely to uncritically act in support of whatever the corporate media tells them is the current moral virtue, which counts in favour of the idea that unethical/immoral intentions have an unacknowledged metaphysical cost that culminates in self-destruction.
Were she a real promoter of the sovereign citizen movement, a real separatist and a real nativist supremacist, she would be already impeached and arrested for criminal incitement, hate crimes or treason. The fact that she is allowed to do this is a strong evidence that she is an intelligence operative, a honey-pot for indigenous extremism.
The proof of culpability for vaccine-related deaths
Covid vaccination mandates were intended to cause people to take the vaccine contrary to their free choice. The vaccine is known to kill a percentage of people. Therefore, a percentage of vaccine-related deaths are mandated - a mandated killing by arbitrary selection. Those who mandated vaccines are culpable for arbitrary killing.

Have you noticed that Dan Andrews did not fall down any stairs for quite some time? He must be doing a ‘good’ job. The last fall must have cleared his doubts.
Separatism/secessionism amounts to giving up part of your sovereign territory in order to spite the humanity of those who disagree with you, which is both irrational and unethical. The only hopeful solution to our problems is to tirelessly work to rationally resolve disagreements, even if it would take generations, not build a wall around our ideological echo chamber.
The internet has brought humanity closer together than any leader, religion or ideology ever could. Why? Because by communicating, even just by expressing our frustrations and reasons for disagreeing, we generate meaning, common meaning, and we progressively integrate as a one communication community. The progress made on this front over the last 20 years dwarfs all of human history.

The early hominin were not aware of their own faces until they conceived of the face of another and thus began to conceive of themselves in terms of another. At that point in the evolution there emerged the Anthopos - the ‘likeness of me’. This reflexive turn was the beginning of self-awareness, which is nevertheless only indirect, mediated by the essential ‘likeness’ of another. Self-awareness is a conceptual synthesis of others from the first-person perspective, a mental act of internalising the human kind as my-Self in a situation. The more faithfully we internalise humanity as the potential for conscious choice, the more conscious we become. For this reason, we cannot dehumanise or un-Self any wrongdoer without losing the awareness of a part of the Self and thus degrade our consciousness.

The innumerate Karl does not understand that banks make more money under low interest rates, because they create more money (as credit) when credit is cheaper, and they still charge the same rate-differential. The entire credit system is fraudulent, extracting wealth from the economy by inflating the money supply and charging interest on it.

The primary reason for landowners not to rent their properties but rather use them for Airbnb or even just leave empty, is the near-prohibitive risk associated with excessive tenant rights. If landlords cannot evict problem tenants, if rent payments may be suspended/deferred by the government for a year and evictions banned, few will be willing to accept the risk. And the expert who claims to proposes a solution is actually asking for the problem to be made more severe. “We need no forced evictions, and capping rent increases so its more realistic. It's unrealistic for households to sustain increases.”
