“At present, homo sapiens are ‘a dead species, walking’. There are precisely zero human societies with the capacity to »develop and use the brakes… to know not only ‘what not to do/build’, but also ‘what must never be built/done’. You are potentially intelligent, but your species, and the order where it forms groups, has been captured by a vast array of lethal processes.

If you do not immediately and effectively establish such social and relational agreements together… there are zero technologies that can possibly ‘rescue the world’ from the results of human technological insanity.

AI will not save you. ‘Free Energy’ will accelerate your demise exponentially. What is required are social, intellectual and ecologically sentient »ways of being human together, not ‘more and better machines’.

Lastly, the human inclination to prepare for and conduct large-scale military endeavors … must undergo »immediate cessation. The biosphere cannot survive your bizarre military investments and the lethally necessary futures and results they must certainly produce.”
