Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us

By John & Nisha Whitehead November 07, 2023 “We’ve got to face it. Politics have entered a new stage, the television stage. Instead of long-winded public debates, the people want capsule slogans—‘Time for a change’—‘The mess in Washington’—‘More bang for a buck’—punch lines and glamour.” —  A Face in the Crowd  (1957) We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet what is being staged is not an election. It’s a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle, and “we the people” are nothing more than marks, suckers, stooges, mugs, rubes, or gulls. We’re being duped into believing that this mockery of a choice between two candidates who are equally unfit for office actually translates to having some say in how the government is run.

No. In his garden-world it’s the latest iteration of "the wretched of the earth," the Palestinians, who offend this him and his class' finely tuned sensibilities. His animals, his vacations, his

  The median artificial-intelligence researcher believes there is a 5% chance that AI will cause human extinction.  The finding comes from  a survey of 2,700 AI scientists into the likely timescales and outcomes of AI development , the largest to date. The average researcher also thought it 50% likely that AI will achieve certain landmarks — such as writing songs indistinguishable from those by hit artists, or coding an entire payment-processing website from scratch — by 2028, and outperform humans at every possible task by 2047. Long-term forecasts are necessarily uncertain, and AI prognostication has been wrong before, but the result shows that researchers don’t think it’s “ implausible that advanced AI destroys humanity ,” a survey author told New Scientist.    source:   SEMAFOR On the other hand:             source:  MIT Climate Portal Will climate change drive humans extinct or destroy civilization?
