“Your rulers want you to depend on machines to do your thinking for you. They want you relying on AI to do your reasoning, researching, analysis, and writing. They want you to require easily controllable software to form your understanding of the world, and to express that understanding to others. They can control the machines, but they can’t control the human mind. So they want you to abandon your mind for the machines. They want you relying on artificial intelligence so you stop using your organic intelligence. They want your critical thinking skills to atrophy. … They want your sense of morality to waste and wither away. They want you perceiving reality through interpretive lenses controlled by plutocratic tech companies which are inextricably intertwined with the power structure of the western empire.” (11/01/25)
