Artificial Intelligence, or Automated Intelligence as I would prefer to call it, is programmed by humans.

The nature of humanity is to make errors.

Therefore Automated Intelligence makes errors.

The problem of course is that in most traditional IT systems the specific reasoning process is explicitly coded and can therefore be tested. It can even be exhaustively tested (although from experience I'd guess that's not too common due to marketing pressures!).

In AI, the reasoning process is hyper-generalised and whilst it can in theory be tested, it's not always so easy to exhaustively test (unless you have the capacity to run it in "verbose" mode and then manually follow through all the myriad of logical deductions that it relied upon - although I suppose you might be tempted to use another AI to do this... ).

Add in the fact that in this day and age the people who

It has been said that we attract what we broadcast, that our thoughts alone affect the world around us. If so, then we clearly need to be careful - thoughts lead to words and actions, words and actions lead to consequences - but thoughts alone also reinforce habitual patterns and thus also lead to consequences.

Our lives are lived largely by habit - we all have our daily routine that we have found by past experience and (limited) experiment to work (at least satisfactorily) for us. If we had to rethink our daily routine from scratch every day, we would never get past breakfast!

But how often do we experiment further with our routine to see if we could improve it some more, maybe in ways we couldn't have previously imagined? What if we ate fruit instead of flakes for example? Or used coconut oil in our coffee in place of pasteurised-homogenised-skimmed milk? Or skipped breakfast on Fridays? The possibilities are endless but the rewards in terms of health might be significant?

Sometimes, in trying to make sense of this weird world, we do well to step back, and just let our thoughts wander.

Dane Wiggington has been pointing up the assertions of the so-called "Chem-trails" being sprayed in our skies for years, the assumption being that this is associated with the climate change nonsense so beloved of the UN agencies and WEF.

Maria Zeee now unearths some documentation relating to some of this madness - from an official website of a US Government agency, the NOAA.

"As part of Public Law 92-205 (1972), all non-Federal weather modification activities must be reported to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, via the NOAA Weather Program Office"

... from which we may infer that additional unreported federal weather modification activities will also in all likelihood exist...

Apparently all in the name of solar radiation management - for the next 200 years. Assuming we last that long.

Whilst the coming together of the (very) fragmented opposition parties may be applauded, it's worth bearing in mind that defeating the main parties in a bye-election, whilst a positive move, will have little impact upon our controlled political system.

It's plain now for all to see that whatever party gets into "power", true power lies behind the scenes with the party funders and controllers, and politics is just the show that they hope will convince the voters that we have some sort of influence. It's "

It's been a long time in the making, but it's a hum-dinger, a triumph of logic and evidence over blah-speak.

Aaron Siri runs us briskly through the long and sorry story.

We are left wondering how any government could have come to the decisions that Congress came to with respect to the problems that the vaccine industry was facing over three decades ago.

We in the UK might ask why the UK followed a similar route?

It's very simple - but how could it happen?

Unmissable.

It seems that it it isn't just in the UK where the promises of alternative warmth from non-fossil-fuel sources are lacking in the actual delivery.

All around the world the actualité is coming home to roost and even the politicians, try as they might, are finding that they can't spout sufficient hot air to keep their constituents warm and cosy.

It's a sad story, but obviously it can't be their fault, since being politicians they can surely find someone else to take the blame?

... down the Publication Hole?

We are admonished to "follow the science" repeatedly, especially in recent times when apparently political decisions (lockdowns et al) were more or less nakedly dressed up as "science" despite "the science" that was widely recognised only months previously being entirely different...

How did that happen?

Net Zero Watch (no, this actually isn't about climate-you-know-what) brings us an amusing (depending upon your sense of humour) but instructive ("follow the science!") and "important" (probably depending upon your paymasters) paper by W.M. Briggs that describes (yet another) "scientific" investigation into (wait for it... ) the reliability or otherwise of the "published science".

Surely a topic that is well overdue

Every once in a while we need to step back from the brink and remind ourselves just what a familiar yet naggingly strange world we live in.

And when the reminder comes in serious form humourously presented, our cup runneth over.

Setting aside my preconceptions... there is good logic in this one!

Whatever preconceptions you may be carrying, just check out the logic here. We should always think for ourselves, we should not accept unquestioningly anything that we are told - by anyone - and really, that is exactly her message.

Does it stack up? Go figure.

The inimitable Michael Tellinger delves into pre-history, and pulls out some extraordinary stones,  interesting theories, and astounding connections - yes, it appears that "they" may have really lied to us about everything...  and we may never be the same again. It will be a brave new world, but not as Aldous Huxley documented it.

Tony Papert may not be immediately obviously everybody's idea of fun, but hey, he's only doing the introduction.

Classical music also can be presented as very serious material, but maybe there's something we missed by taking classical composers too seriously?

So can we have fun with Beethoven?

"Beethoven is political... " 

Well, that may not sound a very promising starting point in the search for fun these days, but...

This is a stunning exposition, let down it must be said by poor sound and vision at critical points - but stick with it, the bits that can't be seen are drawn out in added diagrammatic superimposition in due course.

You may need to watch this more than once...  but if unexplained synchronicities fascinate, then this is for you!

But why do I have the uneasy feeling that he has merely scratched the surface of knowledge still to be uncovered?

If you are not familiar with our "Down the Rabbit Hole" articles, you may want to peruse a few of them before you undertake this one.

I feature them not because I think them correct, but because I'm not prepared to dismiss them out of hand merely because they seem outlandish. It is clear that "science" does not understand the origins of humanity, and in the face of obvious evidence that somebody built many megalithic structures for purposes unknown all over the globe at some time in pre-history, we have to assume that there is much that currently we do not understand.

If by some chance some of these theses should turn up and hit us in the face, it might be best to have some prior awareness...
