According to the Bible, once the Church is raptured the Holy Spirit will stand aside and literally all hell will break out on earth as Satan takes complete control through anti-Christ…right now evil is being held back but without the Church it will be no holds barred…

I grew up on Revelations. It's chilling.

Frightening! And the US military/scientic community is pushing forward on AI super weapons as we speak. They’re already in development and operational. For an even more frightening look at what is going on behind closed doors, see Coffee & Covid post today, scroll down to the subtitle with “skynet” and get very very afraid!

Yep, it is indeed frightening.

I've written a few essays about this including "Killer Robots, Video Games & Artificial Wombs" https://khmezek.substack.com/p/killer-robots-video-games-and-artificial

The last few years the words of Jesus keep coming into my mind. ‘Good will be called evil and evil will be called good.’ Also Matthew 24. How do we stop all of this evil insanity?

Happy belated birthday. Hope you did something you enjoy.

The article was sadly depressing, through no fault of your own. It is just the world we live in. I'm in such a state anyway, with everything; WWIII, Weather warfare (more tornadoes and flooding; Maryland got up to 6 inches of rain in some areas, and tornado(s) to include Ohio, Michigan the other day. It is about everyday. This is ramping up and I wonder how many people notice that it is abnormal. Pink water in China, same thing happened in Hawaii. I've become a conspiracy buff or follower of all things I find abnormal. Volcano eruptions, followed by flooding and cyclones, wiping out crops in Phillipines. Massive flooding in several countries. It just seems to me, since the first of this year or shortly into, the world is experiencing a lot of unnatural weather disasters.

I was disgusted with Elon Musk bringing civilization to that innocent tribe; his "not so civilized internet." I wonder what he got in return. Everywhere man goes to bring the civilized world or conquer it, they ruin what was there. I would like to live like in the Blue Lagoon. I think in the second movie they stayed on the island.

Maybe I should watch the second Blue Lagoon. I never watched those movies. It is heartbreaking what they are doing to destroy everything good, everything beautiful,.the natural world. What disgusted me more than Elon Musk is how so many fools worship him. It's revolting.

The chaos will intensify, appearing as if no one is charge. We are on the brink of extinction for sure. This spiritual battle is coming to a final reckoning.

1. Happy B'day Karen--I hope ya got ta celebrate!

2. like you I waiver-is it too late? if not, WHEN would be "too late?"--I feel it IS like bein' on the brink of an abyss. Will we "ketch" this deadly "bug" i.e. AI an' kill it in time? I'm 100% against it an' I know we may be semi-lone voices (like those poor girls of Marubo! or the cwazy man who wants AI Church?!)

I've gotten friendly with some otherwise brilliant stack pals that just don't see the "body snatchin' " (or MIND Snatchin') dangers in AI... They in fact "lean into it" for some of their creations (written, visual). You are so apt ta cite that movie--golly, need ta see it again now! Brain Snatchin' via Body Snatchin'! (An' the folks drawn to arty-fish-all-y enhance their bodies via AI will soon see their ever-lovin' minds are GONE too! all sucked inta that metaverse...)

So this slow "eating of the mind" reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of Night Gallery (Rod Serling's foller up series to Twilight Zone)--it's from S2.E22, entitled "The Caterpillar" -- but it's about an EARWIG (!) that sloooly eats yer brain--starts out seemin' ta be innocuous but... wull... I'll leave it to ya if ya got the time (starring the brilliant Lawrence Harvey who wuz riddled with cancer at the time an' stopped takin' his pain meds so he could better portray agony--egads).

But it's a goody an' soooooo apt -- I won't do any spoiler alertin' but.... let's say that just went it seems like "all will be well" afterall--that the "worm" (like AI) had been mastered.... there's a twist!

Enjoy it here:

Sometimes things much smaller than we are (physically)--nay invisible--can pose a MUCH greater threat than the tallest giants or monsters we see...

ps havin' grown up on vintage re-runs an' lovin' vintage sci fi an' gothic horror (let's say I mebbe a person of light but I won't deny enjoyin' peeks at the darkness in others...Poe is a favorite of mine! Hawthorne too!) so I'll warn that it's purdy spooky if yer not used ta cautionary tales thus a small caveat ;-)

The Chinese are using those brain wave bands on kids in school. When the mind wanders., their teacher is alerted 🤯

Yep, I wrote about those Chinese kids in another essay. The company is American. And here's another crazy one. "China creates Tong Tong, the first AI little girl." https://khmezek.substack.com/p/suffer-the-little-children

What a shame. A lot of development and growth happens when the mind wanders. There’s fantastic things that happen in a child’s developing brain even when they are bored. That’s the problem the past 30 years, children had to be constantly entertained and stimulated so much that parts of their brains never developed as well since they never had lazy days on a couch or in the back yard with nothing to do but travel their thoughts.

I know it’s not always advantageous for a child in a classroom to be completely checked out, but maybe moments here and there where their mind wanders is actually a natural function of their brain that protects their attention capability the rest of the time, and these new devices prohibit that natural process, maybe leading to increased anxiety and stress, which does negatively impact their attention the rest of the time.

We should ban all the tech for kids. My little 2 year old nephew works his iPad better than I can
