AI is logic without empathy or the inherent human attributes responsible for our survival; it is a short term logic used at the expense of long term survival - as throughout history this power, platform, and control, is in the hands of those once in control of the written word and now those in control of technology.

The elite are not in chaotes but in competition; zero-sum competition between each other - we are kept divided and thus in constant regression.

Our species turned on ownership and the accumulation of ownership thus rewarded to those disregarding the human attributes necessary for the survival of the entire species.

As a social species new and unique in a world of survival of the fittest individual, we are the next step in evolution - survival of the species by cooperation.

Since the big bang the strive as the the prolonging of inevitable entropy; in biology this is survival - social conscious mammals must survival as a whole with maximum diversity.

We are the first on this planet but I doubt in the universe to evolve to prolong entropy by cooperation; using the diversity of the entire species for longer and more quality of survival.

I suspect there are mercenary think tanks who design distractions which create divisions.
There is a global death economy.

As parasites the elite cannot survive without us yet we would likely thrive without them.

Those opposing natures of man naturally exist only in our imagination; selflessness, sacrifice of others, etc. exist to define the true nature of humanity.

My guess is in this universe the survival of conscious social mammals who survive to prolong entropy beyond their world skip our current part of social evolution.
I look to social mammals like dolphins who evolved much more slowly, avoid physical technology, and develop a stage of intellectual evolution where psychokinesis is possible; interstellar travel by quantum entanglement.

OR - as a determinist I wonder what evolves after consciousness?

The US is in the hands of private defense contractors and all the inefficiency that entails.

Beware Slaves who Become Kings

The survival of social mammal groups by a reciprocal necessity is an inherent moral code.Our group hierarchies came from this with the goal long term survival for both the group and the individual - so that the group was stronger than only the sum of the individuals. Age of agriculture brought the age of personal ownership. The psychopaths who had been with us all along, keenly deceiving us by mimicking our emotions, as a parasite, found an avenue to thrive. Only those lacking an inherent moral code, psychopaths, could selfishly promote short term gain at the expense of long term survival

Good comment. Right along the lines of what I post all the time.
I cannot stand it when people complain about the president. Nothing will change until we understand our government is controlled by corporate forces and these forces are controlled by psychopaths, sociopaths, and sycophants.

The only hope I have is that I truly believe that we as a species have around 500k years of history where the hierarchy was made of those attributes which provided for our survival - and inherent moral code of empathy and conscience.. Some 5000 years ago personal ownership by psychopaths have contributed, no controlled, a system of survival, capitalism, that is hugely inefficient and works toward short term profits at the expense of long term survival. I can prove the proper behavior in social mammals in nature. Nowhere else in nature do I see a hierarchy in social animals of parasites - a hierarchy that is not also a leader of the species
