TECHNO PAGANISM: TURNING US INTO CARGO CULTISTS
If you've followed our postings about Artificial Intelligence (AI) you know there is no such thing as artificial intelligence (link). In fact, it's not a descriptive definition of what AI really is (like for example, a tea pot). Intelligence is not computation! AI is a glorified calculator. Or, as Dr Zachary Porcu recently put it, a complicated marble trap. Once you realize that it's a man-made implement with switches, you know beyond doubt that the term 'artificial intelligence' is actually tech propaganda. Our consciousness of reality is once again being manipulated. The tech oligarchs are trying to turn us into natives making 'cargo cult' out of a technology we've never seen before and don't understand.

Some people are already talking about 'human rights' for robots, the creation of consciousness (although we don't know what that is), or even making divine beings (which is not so crazy if you've seen Dr Porcu on the art of idol making (link)).

Dr Zachary Porcu has made entire series of lectures going into the history and nature of technology. He dives into the Old Testament scripture, like the Book of Enoch and the history of Western mechanistic thinking, from the start of the Renaissance, through the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment to present day tech paganism.
We are curating Dr Porcu's posts on a Page at the top of the blog (link). New episodes are automatically uploaded. Here's the specific episode relevant to what we are talking about today.

On to present day and a ripe example of what the future may hold in store for us with AI. If we ignore Dr Porcu's mysticism, you might hold the view that tech is a morally neutral tool. But then the question arises, what this neutral instrument will be used for in the hands of people without ethical boundaries.
Podcaster Viva Frei calls our attention to a piece of reporting by a journalist who has shown in the past to have no scruples whatsoever when he was working for CNN in the capacity of White House correspondent during Trump 1.0. Today we can see him for what he is.

We are of course only at the very beginning of what a future with AI holds. Much controversy and other stuff to talk about in the media, lies ahead. I don't think we'll have any more complaints from the likes of Peter Thiel about technological stagnation, which to him is like, techno hell (link).
