The 4th Industrial Revolution has been in its incipient phases for a while. These are: the development of AI, its progression into an extremely powerful technology, & the downstream cultural & institutional changes. Now, the world is going to get weirder & weirder…
The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

- data being leaked so regularly that electronic banking, healthcare, etc., begin to see a decline in use since people will (willingly or forcibly) transition to in person activities utilizing actual ink and paper. - an increase in grassroots support for ludditism… 2/?

…by a large swathe of western society, with many openly advocating for accelerationism. - innocent people being investigated for the illegal activities of rogue AI agents who impersonate them - idk what else for now; will have to think more. 3/3

Health continuing to deteriorate, treatments still not acquired (one medication denied by insurance and its $3000 out of pocket; the other medication could exacerbate potential latent heart issues), & I’m only half way through my first semester of grad school. Pls pray 4 me 🙏🙏

I don’t even know what I am politically anymore. All I know is I ascribe to whatever DeKoninck talks about in ‘The Primacy of the Common Good.’ Other than that, I believe in radical policy changes that will save this country from ruin. And, no, I’m not a groyper, or republican.

I’m pioneering a new philosophical theory. I’m calling it “The Go Home Solution.” Basically, we all just agree that some guy in the past couple thousand years got a lot of it correct and then we all just go home because there’s no more philosophy and we just kinda agree. 👍

This way, nobody ever has to write an annotated bibliography again and nobody ever has to talk to a Kantian again because there won’t be Kantians. We’ll all be like “Yeah, I guess Nicholas of Cusa basically figured it out. Okay, see you guys later,” and we’ll be happy 😊 👍💗

How do I even find journal articles on contemporary philosophy which are relevant to the senses being illumined by the intellect ‘secundum quandan refluentiam’ ???

If Rubio could emulate the rhetorical abilities of Hitler a bit more then this would have been the greatest speech from an American politician in recent history
We believe that the West can awaken from its long slumber – and rekindle the fire that was first lit in ancient Greece millennia ago.

Part of that might be giving this speech at an event with less formality & more young people. Look at Nick's 2023 post-CPAC speech; totally electric due to the dynamic he is able to have with the crowd. Maybe its a pipe dream to think this is possible for an American politician.
