Technology – Beauty or the Beast?

I did a post yesterday on CERN expressing what I believe to be either: at worst, really dark science, or at best a cosmic waste of time and resources, but after having considered my opinion – if it indeed was an opinion – maybe it’s some combination of both. I’d like to dedicate this particular post to another, albeit similar vein of layperson thought. We live in a time of informational indigestion where discoveries and (unexpected?) results of experiments are flooding our information storage resources, especially the storage between our ears, to the extent that we simply can’t keep up. This new AI business has conveniently arrived on the scientific stage illuminated by all the bright spotlights of the world’s audience(s) at precisely the exact time we need such technology to store/manipulate all of this information. How convenient!

Now in yesterday’s post I didn’t intend to demean the scientific world nor the dedicated folks who’ve committed their professional lives to the scientific method and its objectives. I’m certainly not in any position to judge people and professions on the merits of their activities and pursuits. I am however, a Christian and I must, as a collateral duty of my chosen preoccupation, look at everything through the lens of my Spiritual beliefs – and therein lies my doubt. Now that we are surrendering our human thought processes to external, mechanical forms of “intelligence”, what do these folks expect to be the end results? Certainly, there seem to be advantages to our digestion of knowledge by having instantaneous, or at least rapid cognition and cogitation of inputs for quick results if that is actually what’s needed. There are, however, always unintended consequences that accompany any and all improvements in the human experience.

When the men were experimenting with those old steam-driven precursors to what eventually became the automobile, no one considered that a time would come down the road (pun intended) when an incredible number of human lives would be required as the result of accidents due to this marvelous invention. How could they anticipate that the vehicles they were developing that could only go ten miles an hour would evolve into high-speed death traps later on? Same for the airplane, in which many thousands have died in crashes. There’s a good argument to be made that the benefits of automated travel have outweighed the costs, such as how it has benefitted humankind and is now absolutely necessary to sustain the great numbers of people worldwide. But a counter argument might be that without automated travel, the world population might not have grown as it has – today’s population would be much lower and thus might not need such instantaneous travel. The point is, no one considers – nor has ever considered – the potential costs of adopting new technology – at least, before it’s adopted. Obviously, the greatest driver of the decisions to embrace technology is whatever profit may be obtained and then whatever creature comfort it provides, but there’s all sorts of technology that pops up for which we have no need – at least before it comes about. That’s when the eggheads who come up with it start brainstorming for new uses and nine times out of ten, military value is the first consideration. Can it be used to kill people? If so, then it quickly becomes classified. Even if it is still at the stage where no one knows if it can be used as a weapon, it’ll more than likely be classified anyway, just in case. Look at the microwave oven; the tubes that drive it were first developed for radars. How long between the time it was invented to play with for war and the point where it was determined to be useful for normal people?

There aren’t many cases where some revolutionary new technology is devised to fill a need that already exists. Here’s where this post is going. What possible need for humanity can things like CERN fulfill? There are certainly many needs, many situations for which some kind of super technology might be developed, but most of the really big-ticket items being worked on today are for all appearances useless for the needs of society or humanity. There’s absolutely nothing that an atom smasher can do to provide food or health care, some of the many urgent needs of people. Neither are there any beneficial (for normal people) uses for AI. It looks like some of the most predominant considerations right now for AI are to use it to engage enemies in war time. Has anyone thought about using the smarts of AI to figure out ways avoid getting into wars to begin with? Maybe that would be something actually useful to humanity that AI might be applied to fix, but if that ever happens, it’s a long way off.

Whatever it’s potential for mankind, I’m not trying to insinuate that AI can’t be used to make money – to make the already rich folks richer. It obviously can. But is helping the 1 tenth of 1 percent increase their wealth really helpful to humanity? Those guys are the ones who benefit the most from any new thing. They are the ones the new AI data centers are being designed to protect, even though it’s going to be precious public water sources which will be diverted to run them. The common folks will also be required to pay the exorbitant power bills so AI data collection can be used to spy on citizens. I don’t think AI data centers will serve the public and that’s not what they’re being designed for. They are planned as data warehouses in which to store massive amounts of trivial data on people for the purposes of instituting and operating the new social credit system. All to keep the people in power who currently control the world

God has the unique ability to know what goes on in the hearts of people, but Satan doesn’t. He needs external assistance. AI is planned to get to the point where it can collect and store enough information on every citizen, even attempt to predict what people think, for instance, those who might be a threat to the system. ICE is being developed and nurtured to be the enforcement arm of this system. ICE currently is being run by the abominable Department of Homeland Security, the one totally useless institution of the US government that needs to be abolished ASAP. The agents wear masks so they cannot be identified because I’m pretty sure a lot of them are members of the armed forces of a certain foreign country, but as things progress, they will allow anyone in who is willing to torture and/or kill people, even American citizens. For now, the emphasis is purportedly on catching and deporting foreign people, but doubtless it will evolve to be allowed to round up anyone who stands up against whatever evil regime that has power, the Constitution be damned. That’s the way of evil men. That’s Satan’s way. That’s what AI is destined to be used for.

So all of the good scientists who diligently go about developing all of this new technology may or may not be aware of what evil they are contributing to, but at some point, they will. By the time they get things figured out, that is, if their “scientific curiosity” is sufficiently aroused to even try to grasp the immorality of their pursuits, they will be long compromised, and more than likely possessed by the demonic forces that awaits to assume control all of AI and its associated institutions.

We are in a situation where the fog of numbers, computer chips, machines, and the very minds of men are under the total and absolute control of Satan. If you cannot see that by now, you probably won’t ever; at least you won’t until you stand before the judgement throne. Whatever vestiges of human conscience that might still remain in those who work to develop this evil AI have already – or soon will – surrender to the sway of wealth, blackmail, or whatever other tools Satan has at his disposal to keep all of them in line; think Charlie Kirk or JFK. There are many more people being exterminated as threats to the Satanic system, we hear about it all the time. You hear of it often when someone is about to testify against some powerful person or organization. As of right now, the Epstein thing seems to be at the heart of it all, but the truth of it is that anyone who may be perceived as a threat to this “beast” system will be mercilessly dealt with. Pray for folks like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Max Blumenthal and all the others who are literally risking their lives to expose at least some elements of the system to the world.

This is not a simple problem. As noted, some of the best and brightest minds in the world are working at the behest of vile and evil entities – some must know it; some may not. Most of the technical issues involved are beyond the grasp of normal folks. In my opinion, the players on the tech stage are persons who have spent years, even decades of their lives in pursuit of mathematical, chemical, and technical sorcery and as a result have lost much of their humanity. They spent those years immersed in a world of incomprehensible (to me) scientific haze, mathematics that are nothing short of wizardry, minds given completely to learning how to make their contributions to this beast they probably didn’t even know they were feeding – while guys like me and other normal folks spent our time learning to grow a garden or hunt and fish. They ultimately find themselves under the control of dark people and evil entities and get to a point where they have few options to get out. Few desire to face Satan’s wrath – he doesn’t forgive disloyalty once you’ve sold your soul.

In a way that’s pretty obvious to a lot of us, Donald Trump exists as a microcosm of Satanic methods. When people are subservient to him, he’s their best friend, but if someone crosses him, he stops at absolutely nothing to try to destroy them, no matter how diligently they may have served him in the past. We’ve seen it over and over – Cohen, Bolton, MTG, the “Seditious Six”, etc. The very politicians and scientists who are developing this fearsome AI beast system are bound by fear for their very lives to do their work and stay quiet about it – or else.

So if you’re one of the many who aren’t cashing checks from techno billionaires and would just like to enjoy as much of your life as possible away from the perturbations of science and AI, it’s a little late to embrace the dream of a simple existence – things will never go back to what we knew in our earlier years – have faith in God that this nightmare of sorcery and evil will be over soon. Look forward to that mansion the Lord has prepared for us in a place where there will never be a shortage of joy and peace. A place where we will never tire of hearing angels sing melodies so beautiful we could never have imagined such a sound in this life. God’s love will direct the affairs in that Paradise, and the scars of our injuries here will heal over and soon be forgotten. There will be no helter-skelter headlong rush to get ahead, no worry over dwindling bank balances and social credit standing, just the peace, beauty, and majesty of being in the awesome wonder of His presence. Forever. Oh yeah, no AI either. Get Jesus in your life. Soon. Not much time left.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

A Dark Chasm Lies Between Intelligence and Wisdom

Doubtless by now everyone paying attention has gotten wind of the ai controversy swirling around the world like rancid dishwater being sucked down into the drain. Intelligence, or the concept thereof, is quite possibly the greatest pitfall resulting from human pride – Satan has first-hand awareness of its potency – and is wielded by those in his service who would use it to sever any relationship we might try to build with God. Artificial intelligence is no more than a cumulative statement of humanity – that we have become sufficiently knowledgeable to deal with issues here in our corner of the universe, and therefore no longer need such rudimentary beliefs as religion which some of us of lesser smarts hold sacred. It’s a concept that has been tried in various iterations since time immemorial, but with this ai, human mastery seems to be culminating into fruition. Indeed, for many superficial pursuits and human endeavors, such technical prowess as smarts can be valuable, but when we allow ourselves to buy in to the belief that we no longer need a Spiritual foundation upon which to build and continue with our fundamental endeavors at human evolution, we set ourselves up for the most dismal of failures. Especially when we decide to turn over our decisions to man-made devices like computers. Tellingly, and as designed, this artificial construct that everyone so admires places absolutely no value on those traits which characterize us as human beings, such as loyalty, consideration of others’ well-being, and above all, love – both the love of our neighbors, and the love we hold for our blessed Creator. In its callous disregard for the value of human love, it (its creators) places itself in direct opposition to the greatest commandments, to love God and one another, thus is undeniably at odds with Christian beliefs.

Since undermining Christianity is the ultimate goal of Satan in our world, don’t be surprised when they develop some new iteration of artificial intelligence that suddenly claims to promote a belief system that is somehow congruous with “religion”. This will be a move that’s tantamount to declaring itself to be God. It will be contrived to attempt to pry away Christians from their true beliefs and climb aboard the ai bandwagon, attempting to remove any doubt that a prospective believer might hold that ai might just be something that followers of Jesus Christ should avoid. It’s coming. It will undoubtedly offer the same nature of deception that the false doctrines of today’s evangelical churches and the same appeal. This artificial intelligence is simply the latest weapon Satan has revealed from his endless arsenal. The dragon followed the woman and declared war on her and her offspring. [Revelation 12:17]: “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

Everyone admires smart people, those guys who are able to resolve complex problems. Whatever goals we have before us as the social animals we are, from which we are sometimes prevented from achieving due to issues on which only the brightest among us can be depended to resolve. That’s not a bad thing in itself – God blessed some more than others with smarts. There are very few, however who can be actually regarded as wise people. It’s mostly because the truly wise among us are loathe to get caught up in publicity. The great asset they possess, the one human attribute Satan hates in people – is God-given wisdom, for true wisdom leads us to God, but human intelligence does not. Intelligent people typically like to show off and make a big thing out of their gift, but the truly wise man only speaks when asked, and ever tries to stay away from the spotlight.

There are societies in the world in which wisdom is, or has been heretofore, sought, and sages in those groups, tribes, clans, or whatever, were highly respected. The Chinese elders and Tibetan lamas come to mind as well as the American Indian tribal elders – there are others – and input from these guys is – or was – regarded as of great value to their whole societies. It seems that due to the cultivation of intelligence, especially technical expertise, the wise man is less considered as a source for answers nowadays. That’s a real shame, because among many other pitfalls, ignoring wisdom causes us to saw off the limbs we are perched on. In light of the fact that the world has more pressing problems today than it ever has, the wisdom of humanity garnered from the ages is more important to us now than it ever has been.

One misconception however, of people concerning those who might be wise, is their age. Indeed, there are many elderly persons who have garnered wisdom through their years, but these are the ones who walked through life with their eyes open, learning as they trudged down those muddy, one-way roads (and back) on which we all occasionally find ourselves. There are many more who plowed through this life’s morass without gleaning much wisdom, mostly because they chose to trust in available intelligence as they traveled rather than hard-earned lessons they should have learned. In that sense, age isn’t the only consideration for wisdom, so don’t assume their years mean they know something helpful.

Because of the proclivity of those of “intelligence” to seek publicity, it only stands to reason that what is called artificial intelligence, the cumulative effort of lots of smart people, needs to be in the greatest of social spotlights. This is in order to continue a mass exodus from wisdom of the ages and into the nethersphere of “intelligence” – especially of sources not human. It’s not a hard sell, either. There is a surplus of hopelessly ignorant people out there who would much rather have someone, or something do their thinking for them. That’s one reason “developed” nations have been opting to allow “think tanks” to opine on critical issues rather than having elected “leaders” calling the shots. That’s also why the pews of megachurches are teeming with misguided souls – they allow false pastors to tell them what to think. Of course, voters (who have long abandoned any attempt at reason to decide for whom they should vote for their betterment), don’t mind being told for whom they need to cast their ballots. It saves wear and tear on what precious few brain cells they still use.

If I could have a guess where to look for leaders who might possess some degree of wisdom with which to lead the nation, the first place I’d look in this country is among the self-disenfranchised electorate. People who don’t vote. That’s where the folks are who have long-ago learned of the deception and utter hopelessness of being forced to choose between two cardboard cutouts presented to the proles (by the same entities) as viable choices to run things. There’s wisdom in that view of what passes for elections in many nations today.

Another word of caution for the believer – there has been a big stir lately about how the Chinese have undermined the western tech moguls by introducing this Deep Seek version of ai. This is another deception, for it presents the unassuming person with the notion that this version is good because it is in opposition to the wealthy tech barons and prevents them from being able to capitalize on it. How could it possibly be wrong if it goes against the rich? That’s exactly what we’re supposed to think, don’t buy into this nonsense. Satan might control rich people, but such is his proclivity for deception and treachery, he will turn on them in an instant if it might mean capturing the loyalty of his enemies -Christians – this ai in any iteration is something to avoid.

The book of Proverbs in the Bible has many gems of wisdom and descriptions of how the wise man thinks. Of course, the greatest abandonment of wisdom of all humanity has been our headlong rush to discard our God and His Word, so it follows that few people alive have even read the wisdom of King Solomon, even though when he was alive, people came from far and near to hear his sagacious proclamations. If the reader happens to be among those who have abandoned the wisdom in the Bible, maybe he needs to reconsider.

You can trust the very real wisdom of God, or you can trust in human made artificial intelligence. The two are definitely at odds, but I know which one will emerge the Winner. Jesus Christ invites us all to join Him for His victory celebration, which the Bible calls the marriage supper – think about it. [Revelation 19:9] “…‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!…”

There’s only one Way to get your invitation: [John 14:6]: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

When faced with having to make the choice of following after worldly intelligence or Godly wisdom, make the wise choice. Folkpotpourri might not be the most viewed website on the net, but it does not, nor will it ever under the present ownership, use ai to write a post. Christians should beware of this “helpful” technology.

May the blessings of God the Father find and keep us.
