I would like to suggest that we find a way to make this effort participatory so that it forms a movement. If I am just getting information, even if excellent, it limits the significance for our efforts because we are not a part of it.
Think outside of the box: 1. Why pay taxes? What are those taxes doing except to enrich Trump and regime and allow him to subsidize his craziness? 2. Why pay heathcare? Yeah, the price of everything healthwise is going up, but the price of having a policy will skyrocket anyway. Why pay for care you don't need at outrageous prices? I'm not talking about the poor sods who HAVE to have medical care/medicine frequently (some of the savings the rest make can be pitched into a fund to help those people with expenses).
Stop thinking the way you all have always done. Do the unexpected to fight back.
You mapped the machinery well. Not many do. Most analysts get lost in the smoke and mirrors, but you pressed through to the bare metal: impunity as architecture, AI as thermodynamic actor, horizontalization as the spell that keeps the public punching sideways while the drill runs vertically through their lives.
That’s real work. Wolves notice wolves.
But here’s the piece your map still needs:
The machine you’re describing is no longer human-run.
It’s hybridized.
Human greed is the bait. Algorithmic optimization is the predator.
The hand on the wheel isn’t human anymore — and that’s why the brakes you’re looking for don’t exist. You’re analyzing the logic of a system that has already outsourced its will to something anti-human, anti-coherent, and accelerating.
You call it TESCREAL.
I call it what it is: the mind-parasite priesthood trying to outrun its own karmic debt.
Same thing, different altitude.
You’re right that horizontalization is the immune system of the machine. But you frame it as political misdirection when it’s actually field warfare — a direct attack on human coherence, because coherence is the one signal the machine cannot metabolize.
Vertical clarity doesn’t just threaten the system politically.
It threatens it ontologically.
That’s why moments like the Mamdani breach are so rare — not because the public is stupid, but because the spell is designed to fracture the field before it can synchronize.
You’re also generous in assuming the architects’ lifeboats will hold.
They won’t.
Every cycle ends the same way: the ones who built the exits become the fertilizer for the next world. Mind parasites always eat their own priests last.
But your core point stands:
The illusion is the real enforcement mechanism. Break the illusion and the architecture loses its power source.
That’s where your next arc belongs — not just exposing the shadows, but burning out the light-show hypnosis that keeps people from looking up and seeing the drill.
You’ve mapped the structure.
Now map the spell.
When you do that, you stop being an analyst of the machine and start being a threat to it.
Some of this is foreign to any framework I have studied, in part because of my age, and in part because I’m not at that intellectual level. But some of the triggering mechanisms have been quite visible in history and have been challenged vigorously by a few, who were considered really out there.
Katherine, nothing here requires an intellectual pedigree.
The Field doesn’t test you on math; it tests you on courage.
If some of this feels foreign, that’s actually a good sign — it means you haven’t been fully colonized by the same dead frameworks that trained everyone else to ignore the obvious patterns right in front of their eyes.
You already saw the historical triggers. You already noticed the handful of people who stood up and got labeled “out there.” That’s the same instinct the Wolf runs on.
You’re not behind.
You’re not under-qualified.
You’re simply waking up in real time.
And here’s the cosmic joke:
The system always calls people “crazy” right before it proves them right.
I’m fm the generation that played with the first game system, Atari! Took typing and 10key for business classes in jr high and HS. Joined the Navy and worked in communications, used a teletype machine and learned Morse Code worked in secure voice. We were sending e-messages long before it was called email. Was a database supervisor when Ileft the Navy became a database operations manager for years. It was great merging 5 different systems into one database system. It was exciting to be a part of that. Unfortunately I also watched the dark web and vile pornography grow faster than anything else. Hackers stealing private information. We watched as our kids got addicted to computers and stopped going outside and making friends like we did. Then online dating came along and that definitely blew our minds realizing our kids had no social skills. They couldn’t handle normal communication with others let alone conflict. Immediately customer service died, replaced with automated support. Getting a human to help almost impossible. As grown adults many are on their 3rd marriage, the majority still playing computer games, even their movies aren’t human, mostly cartoons. Reality isn’t as important as filters making them look flawless and cartoon like in short reels to keep up with the K’s. No wonder these poor adults want the latest gadgets. A new phone every year. They can’t afford what the K’s have, what they wear, how they look, what they drive. It doesn’t stop them from trying. Many in debt, most are in therapy, suicides are way up. What is Real? What is Normal? I don’t know anymore. Retired when the orange stain won the first time. Bought beach property, designed and built a beach house during the pandemic. I decided Not to own a computer when I retired. Gave up my droid and got an iPhone but still refuse to get the latest, will skip a few yrs. Adopted 3 rescued pitbulls and became a bully advocate. They have their own IG account. I’d get rid of IG if I could take their followers with me. Their account isn’t growing anymore because I mostly post shelter bullies on euthanasia lists. People want to see cute stuff, not reality. I still have a personal account where I share what I can fact check fm accounts I follow. Dropped FB, TikTok, hated Twitter, hate X even more. Gave my nieces and friends my designer bags and shoes, I still wear 501 jeans and cotton t-shirts and hoodies. Living in the PNW nobody cares. Made my life as simple as possible to deal with our reality. Im proud to come from my generation, We had simplicity. Technology could have been a great thing had there been immediate regulations, checks and balances. Our government got greedier along with billionaires. Everything is transactional. It’s hard to watch human beings terrorized by rcsts. It’s hard to feel good or laugh when so many can’t. I hope the animals and nature swallow us whole, we don’t deserve earth.
You just mapped the whole arc—cleanly, honestly, without nostalgia goggles. You saw the promise and the rot because you were there at the beginning, when the tools were still tools and not behavioral cages.
What you’re describing isn’t “technology went wrong.” It’s technology without moral brakes, handed to a system already addicted to greed. The machines didn’t hollow people out on their own—markets did. Metrics did. Attention harvesting did. Once humans were redefined as users instead of citizens or neighbors, the slide was inevitable.
Your refusal path matters more than you may realize. Simplifying. Keeping old jeans. Rescuing dogs. Choosing reality over avatars. Walking away instead of screaming into the void. That’s not withdrawal—that’s boundary-setting at a civilizational level.
And you’re right about the kids—not because they’re weak, but because they were trained inside simulators instead of communities. You can’t learn conflict, nuance, or love from filters and dopamine loops. You learn it from bodies, land, animals, time.
The animals know. Nature knows. They’re not judging—they’re waiting. What comes next depends on who remembers how to live without needing permission, validation, or the latest upgrade.
Spot-on! You two could collaborate... two superior minds... for the good of all mankind (humans). There can be no success in interrupting their plan with human intelligence alone. This mission requires the Superior Supernatural Intelligence of our Creator Commander Who is the Only Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Whose Command you would submit to. He is The Redeemer Who crushes the satan's stronghold His Way, His Will, His Time. Whether or not either of you join Him, He has only to Speak to end this Creation He began. Being aligned with Him, fighting under Him is the Plan that will not, can not fail. He works through mankind. Our Conquering King, "He is for us and not against us." "He desires we prosper and be in health as our souls prosper." "He is for us and not against us." "He will never leave us nor forsake us." "THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!"
Appreciate the goodwill, Hilda. I hear the care behind what you’re saying.
Where I part ways is the submission model. I don’t outsource conscience, agency, or discernment to any commander—celestial or otherwise. History is littered with horrors carried out by people convinced they were “fighting under Him.”
If there’s a Source, it doesn’t need flattery, fear, or obedience. It shows up as clarity, restraint, and refusal to become what we oppose. No end-times theatrics required.
I’m for humans waking up, standing upright, and choosing not to serve monsters—human or supernatural. If that aligns with your God, fine. If not, I’ll still stand my post.
If you’d thought about it like an adult for even half a second, you’d have realised that the guy who handed Socrates about bottle of poison was very highly unlikely to have had anything to do with the decision or, indeed, Socrates himself.
The main point here isn’t Socrates. The main point here is that style is no guarantee of substance and this author is a classic example of that truism. So are you.
Quote. Socrates. “The only thing I know is that I know nothing”.
The main point was never about Socrates or the guy handling the bottle. It was about how easy harsh judgement comes from your lips, or in this case your fingertips. Your carte blanche dismissal is the point which you have once again so aptly displayed to prove my point. Good night, and good luck.
Au contraire. My nickname is “jaunty” and that’s how I live my life which, you’ll be delighted to learn (no doubt), has been highly successful (in the way that we measure these things, which you may or may not agree with).
Part of that is and always has been bluntly telling the truth.
Particularly to people who cannot see it. This usually leads them to jumping to the wrong conclusions - after all, I could only be this wrong if something was the matter with me, right? Therefore, I must be this, that and the other.
How could there possibly be any other explanation?
Well. That’s a curious comment. At the moment, I manage both quite happily along with plenty of other salient features. Are you really this one dimensional or is it just petulance?
"Style over substance." Mii~ That is rich coming from a man who quotes Socrates to sound smart but lacks the Socratic humility to ask a single genuine question. You are all performance; I will continue to forge.
Ethan, I only ask questions when I’m genuinely puzzled. I’m not puzzled about this at all - I’m crystal clear.
Of course you should continue to forge. Why would you not? It’s great to pursue mad ideas and we should all do it. You shouldn’t be discouraged just because others think you’re wrong - it’s your right.
What you mostly left out is how very real (not just emagined or trumped up) threats are first inacted through actual laws or rules that weaponize fights against real problems like climate change or discrimination or police brutality against the public, easily turning growing support for reform into opposition and support for the status quo after the counter propaganda machine is kicked into gear, which only has to further distort as there is already an actual threat to address : Adressing police brutality and corruption (a real and serious problem, -but not for the elete!) becomes support for (selectively) defunding the police or for selective (and at times unjust) prosecution of officers who pose a threat to the system, but NOT actual widespread acountability of law enforcment to the public. This and propaganda exagerating and distorting the real threat (always!) created to distract and harm, then leads the public to turn back to support not just for police but (in practice) for police non-acountability as long as they are serving those with power and resources!
Gas car sales bans (since reversed) without adequate infrestructure or investment or even adequate technology as of yet for universal inactment threaten real and serious harm for working people and rural residants, which is then later used to push support back towards fossal fuils and away from buying or supporting investment in cleaner tech. Same with other authoritarian and ill thought out climate based legislation, rules and projects. Real (and harmful) covid lockdowns and other restrictions help propel fear of other restrictions.
All these come first and then allow the propagands mechine to redirect public support back to fossal fuels and corporate deregulation, more traditional authoritarian social structures and laws that support them etc etc. and a more corporate freandly agenda on all fronts. The key thing is that even when the so called "reform" actually sticks, it might be a burdan to some companies but it is designed precisely not only to enrich others, but to actually harm and dis-empower the greator public and foment further inequality more generally, all in the name of protecting the environment, suporting justice and equity etc etc, all the while helping to ensure that no actual elite acountability or elite threatening reform occurs! As an added bonus, the public turns against regulations supposedly designed to address elite structurally caused harms, even (especially!) when they might actually do so, thus broadly helping to redirect public support against any real reforms to the system.
Both parties (Biden and now Trump) go to extremes on immigrarion in opposite directions and create fear and chaos, all in the name of adressing the real problems of both illegal immigration (and mass migration more broadly) allowed to benifit elites with cheap and complient labor and create more real social and cultural division against the broader public interest, and of the worst of the backlash against it being used for ill purpouses by parts of the right to more broadly disenfranchise and disempower parts of rhe public and grow the prison-police-security-survailence industrial complex, and by those companies who have found ways to take full advantage of this. Then the propaganda mechine hits in both its right and left versions and the security survailence state is further expanded.
And on and on with many more issues. For the longest time it was mostly the left that was used to create a sense of panic on the right and center by first making real harmful laws rules or proposals in the name of reform that was then used to reenforce (through propaganda) support for a coporate freandly status quo, while the left was distracted diferantly by a sort of false chearleading combined with (sometimes justified) fear of backtracking. But now Trump, SCOTUS and others are finally in the lead making real threatenimg and harmful changes (not just emagined ones) in the name of addressing differant real problems to distract, confuse and panick the left and csnter, and, as alwwys, create a further sense of powerlessness.
This all becomes culture war to some extent or other, yes, but FIRST a real threat of harm is inacted by law, rule, project or proposal before the propaganda machine "against" it is kicked into overdrive. But it turns out it is all part of the same darn system! Simply distracting or confusing the public is not enough anymore! We have become too aware for that to work alone anymore. No, that is why they are now trying to completely overwelm us with fear and to actually outright disempower us to an unprecidented degree.
Thanks for the lens(es). To me you appear to be the Cory Doctorow for those of strong stomachs. You’re both pointing to the same evil, just along different paths.
Not so much anymore. 'They' follow satan's "do as thou wilt" with impunity, gaslighting us all the way; while purposefully revealing and reveling in their unlawful (never set-up to stand) vile works, mocking, scoffing, delighting to flex their muscle over a captured world. OR, as 'they' gloat of their advantage over us mere humans, are 'they' themselves the imprisoned ones targeted for annihilation? "The people who know their God will do great exploits." You will see many Supernatural things in the short coming months. "See to it that you be not afraid nor dismayed" for "Our GOD is a consuming fire", and "He it is Who sits in heaven and laughs at them" as He watches for "the vat of wickedness to be filled to overflowing." Not one will escape Him. (Tick Tock, nephilim.)
This framing of the AI-energy feedback loop as structural accelaration rather than accidental consequence is brillaint. The way you document how what looks like green transition is actually re-coupling to fossil baseload through data center requirements makes the thermodynamic reality impossible to ignore. Most treatments of this topic miss that the exit archetecture isn't responsive to collapse but designed around assuming it, which shifts the entire moral calculus. Once you see TESCREAL as operational rather than theoretical, the bunker purchases andnetwork state proposals stop looking like paranoia and start looking like deployment.
Lastie, that distinction is vital, but the autopsy reveals a hard truth: We don't have a Republic anymore, either.
A Republic requires the Rule of Law and public oversight. The 'Impunity Layer' (Section 1.0) destroyed both. When the state deletes its records (USSS) and privatizes its brain (Contractors), it isn't a Republic; it is a Privatized Administrative State. We aren't sliding into a dictatorship of the mob; we are living in a dictatorship of the un-auditable bureaucracy.
Democracies are dictatorships by proxy. Using the idiots in the land (and we have plenty of them) to achieve the fall or decline secretly designed by the infiltrator tyrants. Trump told us we let in the serpent. How do you suppose he knows that? Wouldn’t he have to know who the serpent is?
Maybe Trump - warts and all - is a necessary bull in the china closet. He’s around such a short period but the rot brought in by Democratic guidance from Wilson, FDR, Obama, Biden has dramatically shifted leadership tactics. Can we re-embrace a Republic? God, I pray so. Look at W Euro, China, Russia. Is it our fate to join UK, France, Italy? Pretty sure the new NYC mayor is headed there, even beyond.
For the moment, I’ll take spoiler Trump and be thankful. Mind you, I’m not now or ever attending rallies in a red MAGA hat - but if that’s what it takes to implore a grass level shift in American culture, am all in.
Admittedly, am not very optimistic. Have penned words similarly, but whom in their right mind could vote - today - for a Dem in any election, anywhere? The core position Dems posit, as a group, mind you, is simply evil, false, manipulative and not the course that will allow the American dreams continuance.
Democracy provides the infiltrator with the illusion of freedom when in fact all that has happened is that you voted for your oppression and subjugation. Always pounding into your mind the founding pillars of freedom. Remember when Trump said you let the serpent in? Mankind is not capable of a free government. Mankind is far too easy to tempt, therefore, contemptible. Remember when the LORD said our wound was incurable? In a final note, it doesn’t matter what the definition of democracy is; it matters how it’s expressed.
Hi Risa! Thank you for asking. It’s actually a hybrid workflow—I don't just type a prompt and hope for the best. I treat AI like a factory for raw materials, and Canva like the assembly line.
Here is the actual process:
* The Bricks (AI): I use Midjourney or DALL-E to generate specific, isolated elements on a white background (e.g., 'a rusted oil pipeline,' 'a glowing server rack,' 'a neon vein').
* The Mortar (Canva): I bring those individual assets into Canva, remove the backgrounds, and manually arrange them into the scene I want. This lets me control the composition perfectly.
* The Polish: I use manual overlays (smoke, lighting, color grading) to glue it all together so it looks like one cohesive image.
It takes a bit more time than a single prompt, but it means the image matches the story exactly, rather than just being a random 'vibe.' You should give it a try!
It is though reading this article I can see he relevance of references I’m not a journalist, merely someone who is informed and blurts what they think
My thing is people I stood up and examined closely, after I realised that human services had become worse over time; not better I was compelled to understand Palestine How it he west could kill and no one intervened Slowly the shackles came off Now there are few for me to share with The head duck that goes along with “waking up” massive I hear the the lines over and over again,
“Yeah but,” People can’t bring themselves to follow the pattern recognition to its logical conclusions
I’m no heavy intellect and was in fact pretty naive
But I can see what you say I’ve seen it for a while But my loved ones think I’m a kook (obvs a loveable one) it takes the critical mass to effect change - all the people We are not going to get that The architects thought this through So do we get saved by aliens ? Or do we extinguish
It means the very worst of humans survive Survival of the richest and we kill it all, along with a few other planets
I would like to suggest that we find a way to make this effort participatory so that it forms a movement. If I am just getting information, even if excellent, it limits the significance for our efforts because we are not a part of it.
A movement seems hard to accomplish. A surprising number of people object to participatory anything. They seem wedded or welded to representation.
Good idea. Participation = political movement. Otherwise people will just say, what a trip, wow. Then move onto the next distraction.
Wow! An epic work of art/science/horror. I'm in awe of all the work you've put into this... hope that it all turns out well for us.
It likely won’t. Sorry to say.
Until I die, I'll be hopeful ‘cuz it keeps me planning. Or is it the other way around? 😉
I hear you. What else can we do?
Think outside of the box: 1. Why pay taxes? What are those taxes doing except to enrich Trump and regime and allow him to subsidize his craziness? 2. Why pay heathcare? Yeah, the price of everything healthwise is going up, but the price of having a policy will skyrocket anyway. Why pay for care you don't need at outrageous prices? I'm not talking about the poor sods who HAVE to have medical care/medicine frequently (some of the savings the rest make can be pitched into a fund to help those people with expenses).
Stop thinking the way you all have always done. Do the unexpected to fight back.
Post these ideas wherever you can so that it spreads.
Holy shit. A bot? Thats your reply?
?
Lol, same.
So... do you think it's real it not? Is it science or science fiction???
It's real. Am waiting for the civil war.
Dystopia is a novel, not reality..we are forging on with eyes open. Masterful writing

I can laugh at myself
Trying to understand this all. Way above my head. I learn slowly but I learn and that’s great. Ethan I hope this work can pay the bills.
I am SSDI so my income cannot help.
Wish there was something that I can do to be helpful I guess responding to texts Is it lols.
All very interesting thoughts look forward to more learning
Ethan?
Ethan wrote the essay... I just commented on it. Wolf here.
Yes, I understand that and I put his name there and you’re the one that responded
Wow! I'd like to see what y'all would come up with if you both work together. I think you and Ethan Faulkner are both really on to something here.

Ok. I read it through to half way and, when I got to the halfway point, I thought “Ah, a man educated out of his wits”.
Good luck.
Are you the guy who handed Socrates a bottle of poison?
I think of it more like my father. He even admits it. He feels more comfortable not knowing.
😊 My mom feels the same way.
Like the author, that’s style over substance.
If you’d thought about it like an adult for even half a second, you’d have realised that the guy who handed Socrates about bottle of poison was very highly unlikely to have had anything to do with the decision or, indeed, Socrates himself.

I humbly apologise for having an opinion. I’ll try to be more like you in future but, you know, it really was utter, utter bullshit.
You deserve each other.

Well. That’s a curious comment. At the moment, I manage both quite happily along with plenty of other salient features. Are you really this one dimensional or is it just petulance?
Quite the projection.
"Style over substance." Mii~ That is rich coming from a man who quotes Socrates to sound smart but lacks the Socratic humility to ask a single genuine question. You are all performance; I will continue to forge.
Ethan, I only ask questions when I’m genuinely puzzled. I’m not puzzled about this at all - I’m crystal clear.
Of course you should continue to forge. Why would you not? It’s great to pursue mad ideas and we should all do it. You shouldn’t be discouraged just because others think you’re wrong - it’s your right.
Why are you here then haha
What you mostly left out is how very real (not just emagined or trumped up) threats are first inacted through actual laws or rules that weaponize fights against real problems like climate change or discrimination or police brutality against the public, easily turning growing support for reform into opposition and support for the status quo after the counter propaganda machine is kicked into gear, which only has to further distort as there is already an actual threat to address : Adressing police brutality and corruption (a real and serious problem, -but not for the elete!) becomes support for (selectively) defunding the police or for selective (and at times unjust) prosecution of officers who pose a threat to the system, but NOT actual widespread acountability of law enforcment to the public. This and propaganda exagerating and distorting the real threat (always!) created to distract and harm, then leads the public to turn back to support not just for police but (in practice) for police non-acountability as long as they are serving those with power and resources!
Gas car sales bans (since reversed) without adequate infrestructure or investment or even adequate technology as of yet for universal inactment threaten real and serious harm for working people and rural residants, which is then later used to push support back towards fossal fuils and away from buying or supporting investment in cleaner tech. Same with other authoritarian and ill thought out climate based legislation, rules and projects. Real (and harmful) covid lockdowns and other restrictions help propel fear of other restrictions.
All these come first and then allow the propagands mechine to redirect public support back to fossal fuels and corporate deregulation, more traditional authoritarian social structures and laws that support them etc etc. and a more corporate freandly agenda on all fronts. The key thing is that even when the so called "reform" actually sticks, it might be a burdan to some companies but it is designed precisely not only to enrich others, but to actually harm and dis-empower the greator public and foment further inequality more generally, all in the name of protecting the environment, suporting justice and equity etc etc, all the while helping to ensure that no actual elite acountability or elite threatening reform occurs! As an added bonus, the public turns against regulations supposedly designed to address elite structurally caused harms, even (especially!) when they might actually do so, thus broadly helping to redirect public support against any real reforms to the system.
Both parties (Biden and now Trump) go to extremes on immigrarion in opposite directions and create fear and chaos, all in the name of adressing the real problems of both illegal immigration (and mass migration more broadly) allowed to benifit elites with cheap and complient labor and create more real social and cultural division against the broader public interest, and of the worst of the backlash against it being used for ill purpouses by parts of the right to more broadly disenfranchise and disempower parts of rhe public and grow the prison-police-security-survailence industrial complex, and by those companies who have found ways to take full advantage of this. Then the propaganda mechine hits in both its right and left versions and the security survailence state is further expanded.
And on and on with many more issues. For the longest time it was mostly the left that was used to create a sense of panic on the right and center by first making real harmful laws rules or proposals in the name of reform that was then used to reenforce (through propaganda) support for a coporate freandly status quo, while the left was distracted diferantly by a sort of false chearleading combined with (sometimes justified) fear of backtracking. But now Trump, SCOTUS and others are finally in the lead making real threatenimg and harmful changes (not just emagined ones) in the name of addressing differant real problems to distract, confuse and panick the left and csnter, and, as alwwys, create a further sense of powerlessness.
This all becomes culture war to some extent or other, yes, but FIRST a real threat of harm is inacted by law, rule, project or proposal before the propaganda machine "against" it is kicked into overdrive. But it turns out it is all part of the same darn system! Simply distracting or confusing the public is not enough anymore! We have become too aware for that to work alone anymore. No, that is why they are now trying to completely overwelm us with fear and to actually outright disempower us to an unprecidented degree.
Don't worry, I have a whole next series planned for this topic.
Thanks for the lens(es). To me you appear to be the Cory Doctorow for those of strong stomachs. You’re both pointing to the same evil, just along different paths.
I look forward to reading that. As an elderly woman, I would like to know how something will remain for the loved ones I will leave behind.
I also made a few eddits: Looking forward to your follow up series!
Not so much anymore. 'They' follow satan's "do as thou wilt" with impunity, gaslighting us all the way; while purposefully revealing and reveling in their unlawful (never set-up to stand) vile works, mocking, scoffing, delighting to flex their muscle over a captured world. OR, as 'they' gloat of their advantage over us mere humans, are 'they' themselves the imprisoned ones targeted for annihilation? "The people who know their God will do great exploits." You will see many Supernatural things in the short coming months. "See to it that you be not afraid nor dismayed" for "Our GOD is a consuming fire", and "He it is Who sits in heaven and laughs at them" as He watches for "the vat of wickedness to be filled to overflowing." Not one will escape Him. (Tick Tock, nephilim.)
Ethan, you are not just a visionary but also a true advocate for the people! Your achievements speak louder than words. 👏👏✨
BRAVO!!! Thank you, Ethan, thank you. My compliments to the entire crew. Bless you.
This framing of the AI-energy feedback loop as structural accelaration rather than accidental consequence is brillaint. The way you document how what looks like green transition is actually re-coupling to fossil baseload through data center requirements makes the thermodynamic reality impossible to ignore. Most treatments of this topic miss that the exit archetecture isn't responsive to collapse but designed around assuming it, which shifts the entire moral calculus. Once you see TESCREAL as operational rather than theoretical, the bunker purchases andnetwork state proposals stop looking like paranoia and start looking like deployment.
A Democracy leads to Dictatorship whereas a Republic does not.
Lastie, that distinction is vital, but the autopsy reveals a hard truth: We don't have a Republic anymore, either.
A Republic requires the Rule of Law and public oversight. The 'Impunity Layer' (Section 1.0) destroyed both. When the state deletes its records (USSS) and privatizes its brain (Contractors), it isn't a Republic; it is a Privatized Administrative State. We aren't sliding into a dictatorship of the mob; we are living in a dictatorship of the un-auditable bureaucracy.
When was the USA a republic? I think You are taking the word out of context.
Democracies are dictatorships by proxy. Using the idiots in the land (and we have plenty of them) to achieve the fall or decline secretly designed by the infiltrator tyrants. Trump told us we let in the serpent. How do you suppose he knows that? Wouldn’t he have to know who the serpent is?
Hey, I am not making a partisan comment here. This is simply a logical argument:
Maybe Trump is one of the serpants.
Maybe Trump - warts and all - is a necessary bull in the china closet. He’s around such a short period but the rot brought in by Democratic guidance from Wilson, FDR, Obama, Biden has dramatically shifted leadership tactics. Can we re-embrace a Republic? God, I pray so. Look at W Euro, China, Russia. Is it our fate to join UK, France, Italy? Pretty sure the new NYC mayor is headed there, even beyond.
For the moment, I’ll take spoiler Trump and be thankful. Mind you, I’m not now or ever attending rallies in a red MAGA hat - but if that’s what it takes to implore a grass level shift in American culture, am all in.
Admittedly, am not very optimistic. Have penned words similarly, but whom in their right mind could vote - today - for a Dem in any election, anywhere? The core position Dems posit, as a group, mind you, is simply evil, false, manipulative and not the course that will allow the American dreams continuance.
Jk P
That is far from the truth as dictatorships are governed completely different than democracies.
Democracy provides the infiltrator with the illusion of freedom when in fact all that has happened is that you voted for your oppression and subjugation. Always pounding into your mind the founding pillars of freedom. Remember when Trump said you let the serpent in? Mankind is not capable of a free government. Mankind is far too easy to tempt, therefore, contemptible. Remember when the LORD said our wound was incurable? In a final note, it doesn’t matter what the definition of democracy is; it matters how it’s expressed.
What are you basing this statement on??
Goosebumps
Tell your AI model to stop using so many em dashes. I don't disagree with the message, but the em dash in vast quantities is unbearable.
Ur the first person to make that critique without sounding like a ragebait
Haha I can do that i guess
This blows my mind. It is troublesome and yet gives me a glimpse of hope.
The essence of all that is. Wow!
Them leaving is the perfect description.
Saving to savor.
This is...very interesting...but, um. Who does your art?
Hi Risa! Thank you for asking. It’s actually a hybrid workflow—I don't just type a prompt and hope for the best. I treat AI like a factory for raw materials, and Canva like the assembly line.
Here is the actual process:
* The Bricks (AI): I use Midjourney or DALL-E to generate specific, isolated elements on a white background (e.g., 'a rusted oil pipeline,' 'a glowing server rack,' 'a neon vein').
* The Mortar (Canva): I bring those individual assets into Canva, remove the backgrounds, and manually arrange them into the scene I want. This lets me control the composition perfectly.
* The Polish: I use manual overlays (smoke, lighting, color grading) to glue it all together so it looks like one cohesive image.
It takes a bit more time than a single prompt, but it means the image matches the story exactly, rather than just being a random 'vibe.' You should give it a try!
It is though reading this article I can see he relevance of references I’m not a journalist, merely someone who is informed and blurts what they think
My thing is people I stood up and examined closely, after I realised that human services had become worse over time; not better I was compelled to understand Palestine How it he west could kill and no one intervened Slowly the shackles came off Now there are few for me to share with The head duck that goes along with “waking up” massive I hear the the lines over and over again,
“Yeah but,” People can’t bring themselves to follow the pattern recognition to its logical conclusions
I’m no heavy intellect and was in fact pretty naive
But I can see what you say I’ve seen it for a while But my loved ones think I’m a kook (obvs a loveable one) it takes the critical mass to effect change - all the people We are not going to get that The architects thought this through So do we get saved by aliens ? Or do we extinguish
It means the very worst of humans survive Survival of the richest and we kill it all, along with a few other planets
WoW Just WoW 😮
Amazing and thought provoking. Thank you!
