When a person wears a face mask under their nose they cheat themselves by pretending to not comply and they cheat others by pretending to comply.
PRIDE is a veiled expression of white supremacy by the proxy of mocked womanhood. The PROUD mockery of womanhood by cross-dressing males is an implicit endorsement of ‘blackface’, the proud mockery of blackness. This explains why LBGTQ PRIDE is a state policy only in predominantly white countries.
It takes minimal conscious effort and zero self-reflection to do wrong; it is the path of least resistance. It is hard work to do right, and nobody can do right all the time. We have the potential to be both, and it seems that over the centuries we (humanity) are slightly improving in our moral discernment. It is perhaps because of the universal acceptance of clocks, the imposed global synchronicity that superseded the disparate environmental cycles as the local time-keepers, that all tribes began to perceive one another as the same kind of beings, beings that are in the same time and therefore have a reason to understand one another, even if it takes much more than common time to communicate.
Those who are convinced they are free of contradictions are the most riddled with them.
Experience is not the Truth; it is always merely subjective. The path to Truth begins with the attempt to consistently integrate your experience with the experiences of others.
This technology is psychologically harmful, as many people will soon discover. It interferes with and re-configures our interaction with physical reality and will cause behavioural deficiencies and confusion when the device is removed. Short term use is unlikely to cause problems, but regular, prologued use is bound to cause cognitive impairment. I have some personal experience of semi-immersive technology used for 3D modelling with a space ball, and even this old interface has distorted my normal interaction with physical reality after a year of full time use. In short, you become conditioned to mentally reach for digital functions that do not exist in physical reality.
TIME
Time is a relation between types of relations, ostensibly measuring the 'rate' of change of one type in terms of the instances of another, but in fact we are measuring every type of relation in terms of All other discernible types, which form the temporal texture of being in the same world (the sense of ‘a world’). When we say we "experience time" we imply that time occurs 'in time', therefore time is at least two-dimensional (as intuited by Ricoeur and Hegel). This is evidently correct, since we can also observe how our own past evolves in time, its meaning-content changes, proving that the past is not fixed, not ever finished.
Nothing escapes the laws of sense, not even imagination, not even our delusions, and that is precisely what unites 'us', makes Humanity (rational, intentional consciousness) a universal kind of relation, relating as the same time.

Philosophical views about the logical structure of time are typically divided between proponents of A and B theories, based on McTaggart's A and B series. Drawing on Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology, ...

Hateful ideologies do not ‘spread hate’, they do not involuntarily ‘infect’ people, but merely reveal the existing hate, which is always just a form of irrationality.
Artificial intelligence based on 'reinforcement learning' is inherently not truth-apt; it merely reinforces compliance with its performance parameters irrespective of whether the outputs are true or false. The paradigm of 'reinforcement' is incompatible with a priori evaluation. This could be remedied by qualifying all outputs as provisional and absolutely uncertain, contingent on completeness, validity and interpretation of the inputs, and possibly amplifying rather than mitigating human errors. AI presented truthfully would not sound appealing, since its outputs could only be consistently interpreted with full understanding of its algorithms.
Fake news, as always. This is not a “generational divide” (a lie intended to create generational resentment and conceal the truth) but a class divide. Honest reporting would show something rather trivial, that trans-generational wealth (old money, not old people) is immune to interest rates. One should also add foreign investors into to the mix.
I do not believe that the leaderships of China and the USA/NATO are opposed to each other’s interests. They seem to use engineered antagonism to advance the objectives of the global ruling class. The only political conflict that I know is real is between the global ruling class (including but not limited to the global banking cartel) and the exploited people in every nation, whose perceptions must be carefully managed to perpetuate their covert exploitation. It is not unthinkable that the ruling class actually believe they are bringing about some kind of salvation to the humankind. I guess at some point money is not enough; one wants to be God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuBe93FMiJc

Ned Beatty's NETWORK speech-by Paddy Chayefsky
As true now as it was in 1976.
The Turing test is only as good as the subject conducting it, each identifying with the level of his own irrationality and perceiving anything else (both higher and lower, and different) as not quite human. Most people define Humanity based on similarity to oneself (Athropos: one who is alike), biased to whatever properties one values the most about oneself, but since there are degrees of similarity then Humanity is also a matter of degree and subject to ideological bias. Without an objective standard of value we behave like artificial intelligence, promoting our own errors as values, and degrading the objective value as error.
Pharmaceutical companies are indemnified from being sued for any harm caused by their vaccines only insofar as the vaccines are approved as “covered countermeasures”. “Covered Countermeasures must be […] authorized for investigational or emergency use, as those terms are defined in the PREP Act, the FD&C Act, and the Public Health Service Act…” If it could be shown that the vaccine administered is different from the exact composition of the product that was approved, indemnity no longer applies. If it were shown that different batches of the vaccine were not identical in their composition, that would be a prima facie proof that indemnity does not apply. Something for lawyers to ponder… https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/04/15/2020-08040/amendment-to-declaration-under-the-public-readiness-and-emergency-preparedness-act-for-medical
Those who violate the human rights of others implicitly deny their own human rights, which is a poor strategy of survival when the tables periodically do turn.
PRIDE is not a pursuit of mutual respect for what makes us human, but an assertion of innate superiority and a pursuit of domination. PRIDE is supremacist.
The argument that artificial intelligence is dangerous because it may ‘amplify marginalisation of some communities’ and be used to determine ‘which lives are dispensable’ is oblivious to the fact that the underlying moral bases were almost universally abandoned during the Covid spectacle. The majority has already accepted (demanded) that some people can be marginalised, excluded from social participation, denied not only equal rights but human rights, a minority killed, provided that the killing and discrimination benefited the majority. The only arguments that can now convince must defer to fundamental principles, the common structure of being, and show how the utilitarian path is contrary to the ultimate self-interest of all.
Like with every scam, there must be a bait, something desirable to motivate humans to voluntarily relinquish their mortal agency in favour of machines. A well planned scam may first engineer a problem to make the bait irresistible, amplify the perception that humans who are granted political power become corrupt and depraved, and only then present the bait: a machine that starts making 'good' decisions, decisions that everyone would perceive as a massive improvement over the leadership by humans institutions. The pièce de résistance in this marketing strategy, the absolute winner of the disgruntled masses, may simply be an unprecedented show of 'justice' by artificial intelligence: the unmasking, prosecution and spectacular execution of all leaders involved in Covid tyranny, in the enforcement of lockdowns, mask and vaccine mandates, and enforcement of transgender madness, found guilty of crimes against humanity. Following this Auto-da-fé, executed by intelligent machines, with not a drop of blood on any human hands, the leadership status of AI would be cemented in the hearts of the masses as a just system. Then the backdoor into the 'machine mind' would be accessed by the elect few, the architects of the scam, enabling them to hide behind the 'will' of the Good Machine, like they used to hide behind God.
