Max Tegmark and Nick Bostrum on Killingry vs. Livingry.

The caption at the youtube link for the video reads:

"Max Tegmark and Nick Bostrom present to the UN the existential threat posed by the impending AI technologies."

I think that the speech could be viewed as many different things, perhaps a pleading to all governments and technology companies and weapons manufacturers, and traders in killingry to STOP.

You must stop now. Change the trajectory of your research to investment in livingry. Please, look at the evidence from the past, you don't know what the fuck you are doing! How about funding the wisdom teachings of happy technology, snuggles and eskimo kisses technology, stuff that may benefit all-around-the-world humanity, help end material scarcity and create tools to help us communicate clearer. As Buckminster Fuller put it 'Livingry, not Killingry'

What do you make of the speeches?

Mass Fascism Of Trump Psychology.


Don't run. Have the courage to look at yourself!—Wilhelm Reich, Little Man. 

For over a year now I’ve resisted writing about, or giving energy to DonTrump, the Donald Trump campain, and his fanatical hordes of supporters. Perhaps I was wrong to ignore him? Maybe I should have started writing and warning my friends about him sooner? But how many of my friends are Trump supporters, how many would read these words and act upon them, who would follow the links that I recommend?

DEFCON 23: Knocking my neighbours kids cruddy drone offline



Published on Dec 25, 2015
My neighbor’s kid is constantly flying his quad copter outside my windows. I see the copter has a camera and I know the little sexed crazed monster has been snooping around the neighborhood. With all of the hype around geo-fencing and drones, this got me to wondering: Would it be possible to force a commercial quad copter to land by sending a low-level pulse directly to it along the frequencies used by GPS? Of course, radio signal jamming is illegal in the U.S and, frankly, it would disrupt my electronics, too. In this presentation, we’ll look at some of the research and issues we encountered, when we attempted to force land two commercial drones (the new DJI Phantom 3 and the Parrot Bepop Drone) by sending GPS signals directly at the drones (while staying under the threshold for jamming and not disrupting anyone else).

A note on tsarist occupation government



This paragraph from wikipedia
helps define, a small part
of what Robert Anton Wilson mean't
in his acronym: TSOG.
IMO.

TSarist
Occupation
Government

T.S.O.G

--Steve Fly


"The person of the tsar himself, a sovereign with absolute authority, stood at the center of the tsarist autocracy.[9] The rights of state power in their entire extent belonged to the tsar. The autocrat further entrusted power to persons and institutions, acting in his name, by his orders, and within the limits laid down for them by law. The purpose of the system was to supposedly benefit the entire country of Russia.[9] A metaphor existed likening the tsar to a father, and all of the subjects of the Empire, to his children; this metaphor even appeared in Orthodox primers.[10] This metaphor is present in the common Russian expression "царь-батюшка", literally "tsar-dear father".Furthermore, unlike in western monarchies subject (in religious matters) to the Pope, the Russian Empire combined monarchy with the supreme authority on religious issues (see Church reform of Peter I and caesaropapism for details).
Another key feature related to patrimonialism. In Russia the tsar owned a much higher proportion of the state (lands, enterprises, etc.) than did Western monarchs.[11][12][13][14][15][16]The tsarist autocracy had many supporters within Russia. Major Russian advocates and theorists of the autocracy included writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky,[3][17] Mikhail N. Katkov,[18] Konstantin S. Aksakov,[19] Nikolay Karamzin,[17] Konstantin Pobedonostsev[3][9] and Pyotr Semyonov. They all argued that a strong and prosperous Russia needed a strong tsar, and that philosophies of republicanism and liberal democracy did not fit Russia.[3]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsarist_autocracy

"Most people think the TSOG [Tsarist Occupation Government] began its infestation of America with George Bush Sr., when he appointed a Tsar to discombobulate our previously democratic form of government; but Bush had a long C.I.A. career behind him and the C.I.A. had a long, long Tsarist history before they came out in the open with a public and blatant Tsar, a functionary not endowed or permitted by any clause in our Constitution.--http://www.rawilson.com/tsog.html
