But that’s the whole point Meghan: submission to the absolute, to the Monster, to the King. It’s the flip side of the imposition of the absolute, the Monster etc by those associated with the super-national enterprise - including AI - to control the world and everything within it. And, like lambs to the slaughter people are, well, just offering themselves up to it. (MAGA - and other cults - is a great example of this ‘thinking’ in action). Well done you then for your réalisation that this King does indeed wear no clothes beyond those of our own complicity.

You're always pithy and smart, but when you're editorializing you're at your best. No irony intended.

It amazes me how uncritically people have embraced Life On Line, and AI, as if these are magnificent innovations of the 21st century.

Humans are flawed. Tech is perfect. Who doesn't want perfection?

Negative implications, anyone? Not one of you is a bit concerned about walking around with a "smart watch" attached to your body so it can measure your heart rate and COUNT YOUR STEPS for you?

You're grateful that you don't have to think, and instead can have every step you take monitored by the government and the medical industrial complex? What's that? It makes your life better, like the covid vaccine?

Now I'm ranting, so I'll stop here. You've said it all.
