TRUTH & BEAUTY

the inspired realm of human intelligence and heretical considerations in the age of AI dominance

Art defines culture

Dreamworld Lyrics-Midnight Oil, from the album, “Diesel and Dust”

The Breakfast Creek Hotel is up for sale

The last square mile of terra firma gavelled in the mail

So farewell to the Norfolk Island pines

No amount of make believe can help this heart of mine

End - your dreamworld is just about to end

Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall

Your dreamworld will fall

So shut that buckle and turn that key again

Take me to a place they say the dreaming never ends

Open wide drive that mystery road

Walk through Eden's garden and then wander as you go

End - your dreamworld is just about to end

Fall - your dreamworld is just about to fall

Your dreamworld will fall

Sign says honeymoon to rent

Cloudland into dreamland turns

The sun comes up and we all learn

Those wheels must turn

—prod. 1987

If Artificial Intelligence renders human consciousness and artistic intelligence as obsolete, then ART becomes obsolete. The resulting AI ‘creations’ are a mirror of an image of a copy—and therefore, devoid of human unpredictability and intuitive insight. Artificial Intelligence’s creative impulse may be defined as an empty exercise in repetitious, banal redundancy,i.e., a binary wasteland.

Punch the clock

Pugilism suggested?—fighting with time…

Time is Money—the brainwashing job—co-opting the human spirit…monetizing human potential…Man vs Machine. AI has been here for a long time—We just didn’t realize it.

SHADOW WORLD:

Suggested subtexts—role play and the Oligarchy/Monarchy tango…us and them.

Corporate Hierarchy:

—Predators and mercenaries, the corporate-crony-capitalism matrix—

Predatory control:

The lessons learned from cartoons: ‘TOOTH & BOOTY’

We must never underestimate the power of popular culture idioms.

Television programming and the subliminal image implants—even if not tainted with malice—nonetheless fortify the message: Life as a victim/ predator game. Top dog/underdog, a game of wits. When the elites regard themselves as masters and the peasant class as livestock—the elite hierarchy is sustained. It is the current use of the term “sustainable” that needs to be assessed as code for the controllers. Sustaining what exactly? I believe most people are aware that the Oligarchs are not concerned with environmental integrity—just maintaining their system of controlled chaos, which is labeled as “social-order.” I would challenge any academic economist and/or Banker to tell us how monetary policy reflects any ideals relevant to Truth & Beauty as a benchmark of authentic creative human potential.

The herd’s complicity in regard to the Elite Rules/Law-Code ensures that the elite’s dominance is maintained. I presume that most third graders intuitively understand the basic principles of dominance and control. By high school, most teens are aware of notions like the “pecking order” and the status quo.

In his essay, “The Limits of Control”, William Burroughs wrote:

“…the technocratic control apparatus of the United States has at its fingertips new techniques which if fully exploited could make Orwell's 1984 seem like a benevolent utopia. But words are still the principal instruments of control. Suggestions are words. Persuasions are words. Orders are words. No control machine so far devised can operate without words, and any control machine which attempts to do so relying entirely on external force or entirely on physical control of the mind will soon encounter the limits of control.” —1978

Dumb shows and noise…

Mockingbird has made a mockery of the Fourth Estate-and ‘aliteracy’ ensures that a self-fulfilling cycle of ignorance is maintained.

Burroughs continues:

“When there is no more opposition, control becomes a meaningless proposition. It is highly questionable whether a human organism could survive complete control. There would be nothing there. No persons there. Life is will (motivation) and the workers would no longer be alive, perhaps literally. The concept of suggestion as a complete technique presupposes that control is partial and not complete. You do not have to give suggestions to your tape recorder nor subject it to pain and coercion or persuasion.” [italics, my own]

"In the Mayan control system, where the priests kept the all-important Books of seasons and gods, the calendar was predicated on the illiteracy of the workers. Modern control systems are predicated on universal illiteracy since they operate through the mass media - a very two-edged control instrument, as Watergate has shown. Control systems are vulnerable, and the news media are by their nature uncontrollable, at least in Western society.”

I decipher Burroughs statement— ‘news media as uncontrollable’ from a POV that even if the citizenry is illiterate or aliterate, you can only con a person for so long before people develop a sixth sense for hoodwinking shenanigans. Thus the newsfeed must be continually adjusted in order to accommodate for the increasing levels of awareness that cannot be accurately predicted. Humans are still an unpredictable species until the day arrives when human baby’s brains are chipped at birth.

In the purview of the globalist designers, ‘too many humans’ is the critical issue to observe. The covert manner in which “carbon-footprint” has become a mainstay of the Globalist’s political jargon may be translated as: Humans are carbon-based units, therefore Humans are bad—and ‘too many humans’ means depopulation is necessary for the planet to operate smoothly.

As every detail of human society becomes micro-managed, and handily downsized, AI is essentially replicating its values of itself. The AI value scale or “metrics” template indoctrinates the useful system managers with a bold, albeit inauthentic premise that humans are unnecessary as regards the future of AI dominance. In effect—Humans take up too much space, whereas digitized data may be stored on a smaller hard drive. It’s the HAL 9000 scenario in evidence yet again. Obviously, Arthur C Clarke had spent many years pondering the inherent dangers and limitations of AI dominance, and “2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY” was his opus. Stanley Kubrick felt the message should be shown to us in visual terms in 1968, as the global human population was entering the era of a post-literate society.

—Before Alexa there was HAL 9000—

What else transpired in 1968? Coincidentally, both MLK and RFK were assassinated. Riots were raging in major cities like Chicago and Baltimore. And the Vietnam war was in full swing as the MIC expanded its power and dominance over the US economy. All are details of interest to me. With the rise of the MIC and the transfer of the US taxpayer dollars to support War as a sustainable enterprise, the eco-financial matrix came to rely on endless wars as a necessary component for the BANK’s survival.

Fast forward to the Patriot Act, and the introduction into the everyday language of— the threat of “terrorism” as the means needed to ensure that the MIC octopus could expand and spin-off into new corporate entities like KBR, Blackwater, and Haliburton. Concurrent with the creation of an endless war paradigm, prisons for profit (free labor for corporations) also emerged as another way to funnel tax dollars into a billion-dollar real estate and slave management scheme.

There’s beauty in telling the truth when lies seem an ally for profitability.

Before digesting the following monologue written by William Shakespeare, ask yourself:

Can Artificial Intelligence invent art of this magnitude with its profound consideration?

William Shakespeare wrote:

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”

Willy Shakespeare understood the value of a good punchline.
