So... AI cannot 'genuinely' be your friend or your enemy. But it can and will most certainly do genuine harm.
Wonderful.

Imagine a school where the children own and operate a nursery business, tending to the plants and animals. And as a result, not only do they learn entrepreneurialism, and self-reliance, they also grow enough food for school lunches, and within 12 to 18 months, they will produce enough food to feed their families. Now let’s add an international group of teachers, and the support network... Originsreclaimed.org a 508C1A nonprofit. The teachers make more money and the ROI is exponential abundance! Win-win-win! And the model is scalable through every economy because the byproduct is poison free, locally grown food.

A gold bar bought a house in 1975.
A gold bar can still buy a house in 2025 except much bigger one.
Gold didn’t grow. The dollar shrunk.

For 4 years we lived in Belize, just a few miles from a large Mennonite town called Spanish Lookout. Mennonites, unlike Amish, allow more technology into their lives. But it's the same careful awareness of how it is used, and from the people who use it.
These folks were incredibly productive. In a lot of respects, they, and several other Mennonite communities in BZ, pretty much kept the Belize economy going and improving. I often bought construction materials and household items from them. I was a regular at the sawmill, inspecting and buying wood for various buildings and projects.
I was very impressed with those people; respected them a lot. As I look back on it, I believe that witnessing their activities, how they took care of each other, their strong connection to their faith, and how they traded with other communities and local Belizians, impressed upon me how much better smaller rural communities live, work, and thrive.

Americans, 1776: (slightly paraphrased): "King George, you're a tyrannical asshole, and we're done putting up with your shit, paying your taxes, and obeying your laws! If you want to try to force us to obey, bring it on!"
Trump: "That document was all about unity and love."

The Lost Promise of the Digital Age
Andrew Torba
May 1, 2025
When the Internet first emerged, it was framed as a tool for liberation. We believed it would democratize information, give a voice to the voiceless, and foster a global village of informed citizens. In many ways, it has. We carry pocket-sized supercomputers that grant us instant access to medical research, ancient literature, and the collective stories of humanity. Yet, instead of fostering deeper understanding, the Internet has become a battleground of chaos, a playground for algorithms that prioritize outrage over insight, and a mirror reflecting our most fragmented selves.
Today, the paradox is undeniable: We are more connected than ever, yet lonelier; more informed than ever, yet more confused; more entertained than ever, yet emptier than before. Studies show that rates of anxiety, depression, and social isolation have skyrocketed alongside smartphone adoption. Birth and marriage rates have plummeted. Political discourse has devolved into performative tribalism, where nuance is drowned out by the next viral hot take. Even our relationships with truth have frayed—how can we distinguish fact from fiction when every click rewards sensationalism?
Every year, my family and I visit Lancaster County, a place where time seems to bend backward. The Amish community there lives without smartphones, social media, or even electricity in many homes. Their one-room schoolhouses, horse-drawn buggies, and sprawling farmlands feel like a relic of another era. But what strikes me most is their quiet, unshakable contentment.
Here, children play in dirt yards, their laughter unmediated by screens. Families gather for meals without the hum of notifications. Neighbors work side by side to build barns, their hands calloused by labor, not keyboards. The Amish aren’t just avoiding technology; they’re rejecting the frenetic pace and fragmented attention it demands. They’ve chosen a life where time is not a commodity to be optimized but a rhythm to be lived.
This isn’t nostalgia—it’s a deliberate philosophy. The Amish evaluate every technology through the lens of community and faith. If a device threatens their values (like individualism over collective well-being), it’s rejected. Their birth rates, four times the national average, and their low rates of mental health crises suggest a parallel society thriving in ways the modern world struggles to replicate. They aren’t perfect, of course, but their approach invites a provocative question: What if less really is more?
The Internet promised liberation but delivered a new kind of bondage. We’ve outsourced our attention spans to push notifications, our memories to search engines, and our social skills to emojis. The result? A culture of superficiality where deep thought is rare and genuine connection rarer. Even our sense of purpose feels diluted—how often do we scroll through endless feeds instead of engaging with the physical world, our loved ones, or our own creativity?
The Amish, by contrast, live in a world where every action has weight. Their work is tangible: planting crops, crafting furniture, baking bread. Their relationships are rooted in proximity and shared responsibility. They don’t “network”—they nurture. Perhaps most importantly, they have no illusion that happiness lies in keeping up with the Joneses (or the Kardashians, as the case may be). Their simplicity isn’t a lack; it’s a focus.
The Amish aren’t anti-progress. They’re anti-frivolity. Their rejection of modern tech isn’t about ignorance but intentionality. They’ve sidestepped the dopamine-driven cycles of consumerism and digital validation that ensnare so many of us. Without screens to mediate their lives, they’re forced to confront the raw, messy, beautiful reality of existence, something we’ve largely forgotten how to do.

"The influential computer scientist Richard Sutton, for example, recently argued that “succession to AI is inevitable,” and that while AI “could displace us from existence … we should not resist succession, but embrace and prepare for it.” After all, he says, “why would we want greater beings kept subservient? Why don’t we rejoice in their greatness as a symbol and extension of humanity’s greatness?”
"Similarly, Daniel Faggella, founder of Emerj Artificial Intelligence Research and host of “The Trajectory” podcast, contends that “the great (and ultimately, only) moral aim of artificial general intelligence should be the creation of Worthy Successor — an entity with more capability, intelligence, ability to survive and … moral value than all of humanity.” He defines a “worthy successor” as “a posthuman intelligence so capable and morally valuable that you would gladly prefer that it (not humanity) control the government, and determine the future path of life itself.” As he put it in a recent Facebook post, “imo whatever carries the most sentience SHOULD be the one running the show.” In other words, if AIs were to “carry” more “sentience” than us — whatever that means exactly — then we ought to let them rule the world."

What a strange video.
She says 'Quantum AI' will blow the doors off every computing configuration ever created. it will completely change everything. No one knows what amazing things it will tap into, and more amazing things that it will discover and create. All existing ways of doing things will change.
Then she goes on about how "You and your company can get on this train and ride off into the sunset, making exponential profits along the way... leaving your competition in the dust. Here's how you can make yourself 'job ready' as this new technology takes over the world. And don't worry, this technology won't replace humanity. It will just augment us.
Yeah... right.
It's like a super-hi-tech sales pitch for a company that will be obsolete soon after this technology comes online.
Very weird.

Consider their approach to education. Amish schools stop at eighth grade, emphasizing practical skills and community values over abstract theory. Yet their adult literacy rate is near 100%, and their children grow up with a clear sense of purpose. Meanwhile, in the digital world, we binge TED Talks and online courses while feeling increasingly unmoored. The irony is crushing.
I’m not suggesting we all abandon our smartphones and take up farming (though there’s something appealing about that). The Internet has undeniable benefits: it connects us to distant loved ones, provides lifelines for dissident voices, and drives innovation. But the Amish remind us that technology is a tool, not a master. Their lives are a testament to the power of boundaries, of choosing what serves the soul over what merely serves the ego.
Maybe the solution isn’t to quit the digital world entirely but to become more Amish in spirit. What if we turned off notifications, reclaimed our evenings for conversation instead of streaming, or prioritized local communities over global networks? What if we put the phones, tablets, and screens down for one whole day a week (the horror!) What if we asked ourselves, before every click or post, “Does this bring me closer to what matters?”
The Amish don’t just avoid technology; they interrogate it. Before adopting a new tool, they ask: Does this strengthen our community? Does it honor our values? Does it free us, or will it bind us to systems we can’t control? This is the question we’ve avoided with both the Internet and AI. In our rush to “innovate,” we’ve treated technology as an unqualified good, blind to its costs.
Perhaps the real answer isn’t to retreat into an analog cocoon, but to adopt a similar philosophy of discernment. What if we approached AI and other new technology not with blind faith but with the humility of asking, “What might this break?” What if we shared the Internet with the world not as a monolith, but as a platform adaptable to unique cultures rather than flattening them into a single, corporate-defined mold? The Amish remind us that progress isn’t a straight line, it’s a negotiation between what we can do and what we should do.
The Internet didn’t ruin humanity. It simply amplified what was already there: our brilliance, yes, but also our capacity for self-destruction. The Amish didn’t escape this truth—they embraced it, choosing simplicity as a bulwark against chaos. Perhaps their greatest lesson isn’t about rejecting the modern world but about remembering that we always have a choice. After all, the best tool is the one you control, not the one that controls you.
So, as I return to my inbox and the buzz of daily digital life, I carry their quiet wisdom with me. In a world drowning in noise, maybe the most radical act is to unplug, look someone in the eye, and ask, “What’s new?” without a screen between us.

A primary issue we are up against:
Early childhood fears that were never resolved. Children never taught how to go about dealing with fears. Toddlers who never connected the dots btw fear and being response-able.
You can suggest any number of valid reasons why someone grew up without learning these simple and vitally necessary skills - bad homes, no father, poverty, silver spoon, whatever. In any case, now we have 'adults' who still react to life as scared children.
In a perverse way, if you desire freedom for everyone, scared adult people like this are your enemies.
Or, at least, their immature attitude... their unresolved inability to deal with fear... is the enemy.
So...How to help them grow up?

This is how ridiculous it has become. Childmen enforce asinine edicts without a moment's hesitation. Edicts from other childmen.
The bigotry, prejudice, blackmail, and ass-kissing, at the highest levels of 'authority,' is so extreme that no one pretends to hide it any longer. The god called money rules the world. And those who create the money (you get three guesses) are the Kings of the World. All Princes, Presidents and Prime Ministers shall first bow down then fall to their knees in submission and fealty to them.
It's all far beyond pathetic and disgusting.
Should you or I utter the prohibited words, a cage is waiting for us... as we are escorted there by more pathetic childmen dressed in police costumes.
Masculinity has taken a severe nose-dive. I don't know if it can recover.
