There is a great bifurcation underway. As the nation states of the world race to build out AI data centres in a effort to control their populations with surveillance tech, create endless streams of entertainment and distraction, and the next fake money incarnation to falsely pump up their economies, the populations of the world will be simultaneously going in two directions. The vast majority of people using AI, will be using it as consumers of filth and degeneracy, while completely surrendering all of their agency over their lives to the machine hive mind. Much like in the past and even still today, a massive amount of bandwidth on the internet is dedicated to porn, it will be no different than the bandwidth dedicated to AI. Of course, couple the surveillance grid into all of that. At the same time, a tiny minority of productive people are becoming 1000 times more productive. Instead of using AI for entrainment, they are using it to leverage their creativity and capacity. This is going to eliminate most white colour jobs. It’s already happening. Couple this with the fact that the western democracies are being flooded with third-world migrants that are taking all the low paying jobs, so now that teenagers have little options to get into the work force. This is all leading to a Universal Basic Income being offered. The ultimate welfare / control state. This is a recipe for a complete overhaul of how our society has looked for the last 100 years. I imagine it to be more of a “Brave New World” type dystopia, over a “1984” one, but perhaps a little bit of both in some regards. There will be a small group of people who pretty much make everything, a majority of consumers and a secondary majority of imported wage slave immigrants, doing the jobs that robots cannot do yet. Once those robots replace those jobs and now we have over 50% of the country effectively replacing the native population, what do you think will happen? Civil unrest a little bit do you think? Seems like the ultimate divide and conquer strategy that the establishment needed in order to prevent people from coming to a consensus and changing it. Most people will be too busy arguing with bot accounts online, to even have the capacity to change anything. What’s the solution? There are many, but I believe if I could summarize it in one word, it’s “Agency”. As the majority of people are trading their agency over their life to the latest and greatest conveniences, do the opposite. This is not a solution for the majority. I don’t believe that exists. It’s a solution for those who choose to take it. The last 18 years for me has been a constant upward trajectory of increasing my agency over my life. I first started with growing my own food. Then, I made a business of that, taking agency over my finances. I also used that to build my skills, experience, knowledge and social capital. All those layers of agency went back to finances, because it turned out that they were all a vehicle to elevate myself that way. After many years of grinding, my late wife, Katie, myself and my two kids bought our off-grid paradise up here in southern BC and began to take agency over our water, power, heat and home and continue to add layers to our food production. I also started learning how to use the law since then as well, which might be one of the biggest pieces that has delivered an incredible amount of freedom. The latest layer of agency I just added to my tool kit is a fully off-grid AI computer system, loaded up with all the open LLM’s, so that I can use the tool, without giving my agency to the hive mind machine. I look at AI is simply a tool. You can either use it, or it will use you. It’s like the not-so-old saying, “if it’s free, you’re the product.” I’m just getting started with this rig, but may have more to report on soon. With love. Curtis.

Can we normalize politically incorrect Halloween parties? Dress up as Hitler, black face, the happy merchant, cowboys and Indians! Wouldn’t that be a fun way to counter balance all the woke nonsense we’ve been subjected to for the last ten years?
