The Myth of Science—explodes
Not meaning that Science is an exploded myth, but that the myth of a selfless, responsible, rational, reliable Science has exploded across the decision making landscape of our lives.
An astronaut woke with a fright
when his ship sprung a leak in the night.
While his eyes were still bleary
he repaired it, in theory,
but he died cause it wasn’t airtight.
Viral Victims
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) accidentally shipped live anthrax samples to nearly 200 laboratories around the world. The labs were expecting to receive inactive (dead) anthrax spores for research and training purposes.
An investigation found that while lab personnel followed existing protocols, the protocols themselves were deficient and did not completely or permanently sterilize bacteria.
“high-consequence pathogens”
According to the CDC: In December of 2017 – the “US Government lifted the ban on researching dangerous designer viruses” – man-made pathogens created entirely in the lab – the idea is to combine the most dangerous elements of various viruses in order to create unnatural and lethal viruses called chimera viruses – the research is centered on viruses that are “highly-transmssible and capable of significant mortality in humans”
Was the COVID-19 pandemic caused by a lab virus that escaped? If so, it was a weak nothing compared to the viruses now created and experimented with in labs around the world.
Virus handling protocols have been shown to be deficient and ignored—and lab workers ignorant of these protocols.
A professor of epidemiology at U. of Ottawa stated: “we are playing a lot of Russian roulette here”
Science is putting the gun to our heads . . . and they keep adding more bullets.
Embracing the idea that the universe is a reality of cause and effect, without conscience or compassion: Science considers that their own experimentations should be beyond human ethics as well. We’re a blip on the screen, a data point in the charts.
There is no thought of compromise or restriction—the big players behind augmented and emerging technologies are taking all they can now; while planning to take the rest later. When has the appetite for power and money ever been sated by less than everything?
And when has everything ever been enough?
AI—Why?
Just think about how far we’ve gone
since Pyramids and the Parthenon
We use machines
not human beings
to do the thinking for our brawn.
“Artificial intelligence (AI) is being integrated widely across technology and the workplace primarily due to the potential for immense profit”
Don’t compare the “pros” and “cons” of Artificial Intelligence—compare the prose:
“The "human-as-droid" narrative is more a product of science fiction than reality at this time. Current AI is a powerful tool that can augment or automate tasks”—but what about the future?
What will those who see us as the unconsidered material in a monument to their greatness stop at?
And who will stop them?
How will the widespread adoption of AI tools affect the future?
Recent research from the University of Toronto found the cognitive shift is measurable: college students today show a 42% decrease in divergent thinking scores [our ability to generate multiple solutions to problems] compared to students just five years ago.
This is a win-win outcome for power hungry—Why restrict something that does so much good?—My AI told me so—One Thought—One Taught—One Voice—One Choice.
All the big players are seeking the “fait accompli”—establishing the legality of disaster-inviting actions with only a smokescreen of ethical and protocol safeguards providing security—Like the decades of “voluntary guidelines” gifted Agriculture—that have resulted in an ineffectual and uncaring oversight, and an ever-increasing empowerment of climate change profiteering and environmental depredation.
Greed and hubris are leading us to disaster—a disaster all the more inevitable for the signposts we pass along the way.
