The power of oats (with Daddy!)

A sweet and charming visit with the Esselstyn's in their kitchen...enjoy!

The biggest primates are not carnivores

 And here's a beautiful example of that:

ChatGPT explains AI in simple terms

Something I came across this morning, someone asked ChatGPT to explain AI in simple terms. Here's an image of the question and response, click for bigger:

I found this helpful as it makes clear "general" AI is to this point something only biological intelligence is capable of.

Raising the question: can technology be made to assume the properties of biology? It's a good question, here are some impediments: tech is not self generating, it did not come into being in the biological way we still only dimly understand.

The fact biology exists at all continues to be greatly underappreciated.

AI's data base comes exclusively from the sum total of the data that exists on the internet, which is a product of human thought and creativity. If the human species were to extinct what would happen to tech? It does not have biological drive force, but it might have an artificial imitation of it. Would that be sufficient for AI to exist and continue in the absence of humans?

The basic problem is AI does not have a real subconscious where the biological instincts are housed. It has no real "drive". It has no real instinctual fear of death, which is a primary driver of biological activity. It has no biological sex drive, it cannot "fall in love", and be "driven" to mate and procreate.

It does not have innate reproductivity drive, which are the consequence of billions of singular biological interactions we had nothing to do with "showing up" on Earth to begin with.

My take is the human idea of "general AI" is just another example of the human tendency toward hubris, the basic idea that technology trumps biology as the force to be reckoned with.

Don't look now, the 6th mass extinction has begun in human populations too. It is a reset forced by nature that will eventually cause humans to re-recognize we are the offspring, not the creator, of nature and biology.

Your government at work - Dr McCullough testifies to Pennsylvania Senate

Everything Dr McCullough and the thousands of other doctors and health scientists who are speaking out about this will come to the surface eventually. I happen to have been tracking all this very closely from the beginning because of my interest in health and health science. One thing I saw very quickly was the mass media most people go to, MSNBC and FOX, were beyond useless, and I stopped wasting my time watching them. It was like watching sports, everyone had their favorite team. There was no team!

What were some of the worst things done.

Censorship...research papers that had hard data on all the various conditions of the pandemic and it's treatment were not being published by several of the well known medical journals. FINALLY that seems to have stopped, and the truth will slowly spread to the general population.

To the best of my knowledge this is the first time in the history of science that legitimate research was broadly censored.

Governments controlled by the pharma/vaccine industry obviously want the ability to mandate entire populations give over personal control of what goes into their bodies. These are the same governments that receive the revenues needed to prevent debt bloated bureaucracies from crashing. Those revenues come from the triad of big food, big pharma, and the health care industry in general.

If these industries spent 5% of their revenues establishing country wide facilities and programs that inform the public about the true cause of health, which is mostly what we eat and drink, and STARTS with diet, the need for health care would shrink drastically. 

A program like that mounted by government would help the general public realize the "foods" they are addicted to were THE cause of 90% of their health problems. It's not that complicated: ingest toxins and we are GUARANTEED to lose our health.

And I do not think those industries were "evil" at the outset. We had great faith in technology to make our lives better in every way. We've learned however the further from nature we get with our diets the worse our health gets.

Well those outsized revenues would also shrink drastically. These industries were not evil at the outset, at this point it is questionable.

Dr McCullough's recent testimony to the Pennsylvania Senate:

Evidence on covid restrictions is in, a meta analysis on the benefit to harm ratio.

In the video linked below Steve Hanke of John Hopkins is one of three authors of a meta-analysis of the benefit to harm ratio of lockdowns during the pandemic. Hanke is a well known highly respected economist most publicly known perhaps as the US government's point man for quelling hyperinflations around the globe as they arise.

Hanke's wiki page is extensive, noting among other things he and another John Hopkins professor founded the Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health and Study of Business Enterprise.

We also see in the first section of the wiki page Hanke has been "accused" of spreading disinformation about the covid-10 pandemic.

Humm. Well I would love to see Hanke on an open forum debate stage with his accusers, but I'm pretty sure if invited they would not accept.

We've entered the upside down world of double speak where fascist propogandists accuse truth tellers of misinformation.

And the most disturbing thing about the way the pandemic was handled has made clear western governments are shifting toward fascism, and are now completely dependent on the massive revenues of big pharma, and subservient to big pharma. Now this wouldn't be so bad if BigP were at the very least a benign force, but as many have known for decades this is far from the case.

Perhaps the one good that has come out of the way the pandemic was handled is a much larger proportion of western populations have woken to the fact BigP has morphed into a large scale malevolence enforcing fascist controls on entire populations via their governmental and legislative puppets.

And the question that has to be asked: can we realistically do anything about it?

As we ponder that question let's listen and watch as Professor John Campbell steps us through the meta-analysis.
