To cultivate love

To cultivate love

AI will…probably lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there will be GREAT companies created, says Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT.

I wonder how anyone arrives at this comment without questioning its insanity.

Actually, I think I know. It is baked into everything, and has been for centuries.

I watched this ten-minute video about Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor’s new book, End Times Fascism. (Very worth taking the time.)

It feels like the madness is accelerating. But there are signs of hope, signs of rejection of this intentional, willful death spiral.

People voting against the fascist parties. People protesting. Exposé films being made. Activists. Writers and journalists refusing to submit to the oligarch-owned press. Repositories of every video atrocity that has happened in Gaza so the record is kept even as the suppression amplifies.

There are days, I admit, I could so easily succumb to darkness and hopelessness. Certainly, there are days when I wonder why anyone would bring a child into this world.

As I write, I try to find the words. Or the feelings. The word bank is empty, the feelings smothered.

There is this gap, gaping hole. No thing. A dead zone. A little like what humans have done to half the Earth and much of the ocean.

I believe each of us is a fractal of the whole. As we are, so the world is.

A dead zone. No feelings. Helpless. Hopeless. Subjugated. At the mercy of.

Not these. I do not want these.

Into the dead zone, I tender a seed. Cultivate love. Birth beauty. Touch living Earth.

It is our task, perhaps our greatest task. To refuse to become the mindless, helpless hoards at the mercy of sociopaths who rule the world.

To cultivate love, beauty, aliveness, grace, kindness, dignity, integrity…

September 11th 2026 Untether our addiction to supremacy Untether our addiction to supremacy We, as humanity, are being pushed to extinction. The central design feature of our extinction-seeking, maximisation machine is supremacy. Our deluded addiction to our supremacy. In any form, wearing any costume – religious, ethnic, skin melanin content, heritage, lineage. Supremacy over others, Nature, systems, the future, even the past. We have placed a singular system as the central coordinating...

September 10th 2026 In flames and tears In flames and tears The people building AI earnestly believe that AI could kill us all by the end of this decade. In four years! We might ask: if they do believe this, why are they still building AI in a mad frenzy? But the question is not as gobsmacking as we think. The world is on fire. The ice is melting. People are dying. Whole ecosystems are collapsing. We know why. We have known for many decades. We have made many limp-wristed pretences that we...

September 9th 2026 Why is this idea so hated by so many? Why is this idea so hated by so many? “Live in the future, then build what’s missing.” Paul Graham This is the same Paul Graham who built Y Combinator in Silicon Valley and is still regarded as a godlike figure amongst the tech bros. Those handful of men who literally control the keys to everything. Every piece of data, all the tech, the digital infrastructure, what the algorithm does. If one of these men, fanboys of facsim, decides to...
