I am writing a series of articles for American Greatness. You can read the original article Here
Excerpt:
In “The Lost Interview,” Steve Jobs gives insight into the motivations of the elite who seek to hack into our bodies and steal our minds.
“If you set a vector off into space, and you change its direction just a little bit at the beginning, the difference is dramatic when it gets a few miles out in space. If we can nudge it in the right direction, it will be a much better thing.”
Interviewer Robert X. Cringley then asks a deeply probing question: “How do you know the right direction?”
Jobs replies: “Picasso had a saying: ‘Good artists’ copy. Great artists steal.’ We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”
absolutely shameless about stealing ideas.
Edison is probably one of their saints in that regard. steal and monetize.
I've seen it over and over. Experienced it in the nonprofit world in Los Angeles. Horrible.

I can not get over that moron electrocuting a chained elephant just to prove his DC shit is better than Tesla's AC crap.
And all the other turds just sitting around and watching.
Humans are intrinsically stupid and vile, this demented cabal will kill us all, they won't last long either and all life on Terra will sing hallelujah with great joy ツ
The human mind is Nature's biggest failure, at least on this planet. I don't know what other monsters roam the Universe...
But you have an excellent mind! There are many incredible minds, but many more dark and devious ones, I agree.

Sorry, I was busy somewhere else.
If I had an excellent mind, I would have solved many problems.
I did not, which makes me either stupid, or evil.
But at least I tried, so "evil" goes out, meaning I'm stupid.
On the other hand, seeing that there is a problem shows some form of logical thought, which is good news, indeed.
Logical thought implies the use of some sort of algorithms, machines using Boolean algebra have logic too, CPUs are made of zillions of logic gates. Meaning "I think, therefore I could be a CPU".
But I've had MRI scans done on me and nobody gasped in horror and my bones did not jump out and get magnetically stuck to the scanner. Why the idea of being a brain in a vat is so repugnant to us, why do we need to be absolute sure that everything is real, what defines "real" ?
Look what you started, now.
Pay no attention, just ramblings. I need coffee, obviously. Real coffee, or virtual ? Would real coffee have any effect ... I need to shut up now.
Love the Sun Tzu quote! Hubby took my daughter to the bookstore last week as a reward for finishing her school project and they had a new display with English language books (we are bilinguals living in the Netherlands) including The Art of War. She picked that and Mythos by Stefan Fry. She’s twelve. 😂
They came home and after I laughed I told them we already had a copy of the former on the book shelf. So she returned it and bought Fry’s Heroes. I hope she reads all of them and they stand her in good stead. It certainly seems to have helped clarify your thinking! Fingers crossed she follows in footsteps like yours. 🦶🏼
Wow you're raising a brilliant daughter. Most kids don't read anymore. I have trained over 30 years in martial arts, then Eskrima, boxing, kickboxing and trained others. I wish every kid learned martial arts in school from a young age. actually, schools shouldn't be impersonal prisons with 2,000 students. I hope more parents start community schools and all chip in. That is how school should be.
Absolutely! if I knew what I do now I would reconsider homeschooling early on, even though it’s really hard to get approved in the Netherlands. We’re making it work for us as it is, but I definitely will consider adding in martial arts! Thank you for the tip. You and EGM have that in common and it shows!
