"“Patriots” — it turns out — are much more cost-effective than mercenaries."

*sigh* yup.

This is well done, Peter. A perfect summary to explain our current state. This is a virtual “You Are Here” map.

I find it useful with moderation to use AI tools and as you said Peter AI can hallucinate. So we have to beware and Logos is irreplaceable when it comes to how we perceive the world.

The AI ​​era we have entered doesn't just deliver information – it collects information and influences people's perceptions. With the new Chinese Zuchongzhi-3 warp speed is near.

They need to make people dumb, so that AI looks smart. I'm living in Santa Monica, where, since Covid, they have been re-engineering all the streets with "traffic calming" nonsense. e.g. removing traffic lanes, bike lanes and removing the ability to turn in certain directions. This is all going on at the same time they are testing self-driving cars in Santa Monica. My gut tells me that "traffic calming" is a lie, and that they need to re-engineer the streets, or the cars won't work. Again, AI has no λόγος, and (as some supporter taught me a few days ago, programming the "trolly problem" into cars is going to be a liability nightmare.) https://chatgpt.com/share/67d2fa8e-ee88-8003-865f-2932e0a9e8a3

I view the “trolley problem” as being a type of logical epistemological warfare: by engaging in its premise, one accepts it as a real world problem & is more open to real world solutions that “tackle it” - aka use it as a premise to kill for the greater good

My stance in addressing the trolley problem is to not play the game; self driving cars should not go down this route, they should just be focused on driving well

Indeed, but the Pharisees still are writing the EULA's (the eternal battle).

One conspiracy theory is that the government cares about you.

Indeed. AI has no λόγος. What they sell as "intelligence" is pattern matching. In that way, it's not different from a person who has substituted cause-effect complex equivalencies (if/then=because) for thinking/λόγος. In essence, AI is the most advanced form of auto-complete.

My thesis is that our nervous system is an antenna, not a computer. That's the Gnostic/materialist's lie. Neurons are not "quantum computers," and quantum computers are probably as fake as nuclear weapons. Calling a neuron a quantum computer is like calling an Ethernet port "The Internet."

If a western true beliver confronts a chinise true beliver with a statement that China is a dictatorship the chinise will trow back the:

Constitution of the People's Republic of China:

Article 51 When exercising their freedoms and rights, citizens of the People’s Republic of China shall not undermine the interests of the state, society or collectives, or infringe upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens.

After that the chinise TB might say that USA have started so many wars since the 1950:ise and the american TB will say that this was aimed to defend democracy

The heavy dialectical punching have begun. It’s on.

And the power elite goes: he he.

Very well written and clear in its simplicity Peter.

I’s on reminds me of another Duke, the musician George Duke an his tune It’s on.

I had to find that and give it a whirl, thanks Robert.

This is the most cogent and comprehensive explanation of the world order that I have read. That being said, it's sadly still way over the head of the "normies" in my social circle. That's depressing.

What isn't depressing is that there are many, including you, your subscribers and commenters and many of the social media persona to which you have introduced us, that DO get it.

BTW, have you gotten the chance to watch "The Jones Plantation" yet? It's now on tubi.com, free of charge (with ads of course). It is a simple allegory to demonstrate the illusion of "democracy", especially as it applies to the USA. Even though it is ham-handed in parts, I fear that even that movie may be beyond the comprehension of my circle, but I'm seeding them with the fact that it is "about slavery and filmed just up the river from us in Ferriday, Louisiana." :)

Also, the latest installment of "the War for Bankocracy" does a great job of showing how secrecy is even more valuable than money to the elite, and how the entangled web of ownership makes it impossible to point the finger at any single person or organization as being "in charge". You're obviously quite busy, but highly recommended to your subscribers and anyone else that may be reading this .

Jesus gave us a clue about the normies...

We can learn to wake them up by learning to listen closely and asking the right questions.

I am getting excited to see your book. Thanks for the opportunity to get a glimpse of your ideas. I’m liking how your exploration of logos has developed. Having followed you for a while, it’s been fun watching you grow. I just turned 74 and am still reaching for answers. Send love to Jessica.

As you can see, in the last couple of days, I've finally been sitting down to write again...

So grateful to have found you recently. Your dissection of the power games played on us alongside the teachings of Jesus offered up to liberate us is the ultimate white pill. No hopium, no doomerdom, just a path toward something greater. My education was abominable and at 57 my mind is struggling to reorient myself to what you and others are teaching. God Bless.

It took a while for me to make sense of what I have been learning, but linguistics proved to be the key that led me to discover epistemological warfare. Thanks for the kind words. God bless you.
