Approx. 7 years ago, during a piece of work, I sat next to a project manager who was also studying for some Law qualification. As part of his studies he had to do some 'work experience' in police stations supporting a practicing solicitor.
He told me two things that interested him during that work experience. Firstly, was how many of the criminal class still actually use pigeons to communicate (including communicating with their colleagues who were even in prison), and secondly how many of the larger law firms have meeting rooms which are basically massive Faraday cages, where no digital technology is allowed in.
Now, this was 7 years ago, so there was an awareness/distrust among the legal professional classes about digital tech and privacy even back then, and this anecdote may even indicate that one day the pigeons may make a comeback!
The law system knows anything based on electronic record keeping can be altered and date stamped as if it were from a particular date / time. I'm not advocating a return to ink and parchment, but it is good to challenge technology until there is a genuine improvement rather than a better version of poor idea - complete with many of the original flaws.
Yes. Just like in Orwell's 1984, where they have an entire bureaucratic department which can go back and erase people out of newspapers and history if they fall out of favor with the regime. The outer party does the bidding of the inner party - but they generally leave the proles alone.
Well I am not only a prole, but a pauper - in cash, if not spirit - as well. The Great and the Good don't see me even if I stand in front of them. That's useful.
Your point about the importance of work (whatever the job) for mental health is something that is often underestimated, particularly in young people.
Feeling useful/needed, learning new skills inc social skills, interacting with colleagues from different age groups/backgrounds, sharing opinions etc on a daily basis keeps the mind constantly active. There’s no time for over analysing thoughts and feelings.
Without that daily routine it must be a lot easier to fall into depression.
UBI can be made to sound appealing but for young people it’s effectively putting them into an extremely early retirement.
Thanks for an excellent article (as always) Miri. I will definitely be nicer to pigeons from now on 😄
I completely agree with you - but what makes this worse, as I've covered in a previous article, is the WFH culture means a lot of young people lack many of the things you've described, even if they do have a job.
It's of note that all the durable occupations that AI won't take over are primarily things that can only be done outside the house, "IRL", and I do think that when it comes to "going out to work" then - especially when people are young and inexperienced - the "going out to..." bit is just as important as the "work" bit. So I would always advise any young person - look for a job that cannot be done from home. Not only is that profession far less likely to be subsumed by AI, but it also gives vital life experience that sitting on one's sofa, even if one is earning money whilst so doing, simply cannot provide.
You’re absolutely right about the ‘going out to’ work aspect being equally important.
It must be my age because whenever I think of/refer to jobs, particularly for young people, it’s almost unimaginable that it would be a ‘working from home’ job.
I’ve seen two young family members change in completely different ways due to their jobs. One took a job that was nearly full time WFH, she went from a cheerful sociable young woman to very unhappy within a couple of months. Thankfully she’s now ‘going to’ work in a new job and is happy again.
The other one left college, went straight to work in a shop and seemed to mature into a well rounded adult within about 6 months, full of confidence and always out socialising.
As you say, we should always advise the young to ‘go to’ work.
Wyatt - you have outlined some of the main issues very well, and perhaps hinted at solutions. I can't see all young people being passively herded into such a dystopia, most will rebel and at the very least will insist on congregating with their friends etc., creating clubs and other group activities.
Perhaps Miri underestimates the human spirit, the innate need for freedom, though there's plenty of evidence to justify pessimism. But I hope I'm right!
"Do they compose symphonies, write novels, produce sculptures and great works of art? The average Briton currently watches just over four hours of TV and streaming services per day. They spend nearly two-and-a-half hours on social media. In short, virtually all the time they are not at work, they are being entertained by a screen."
Great point, Miri. I was thinking about this the other day, off the back of another conversation with Elizabeth Nickson (recently interviewed by Delingpole) which I found. One of the interviewers - Darren - makes a point that 'If we added up the amount of television that gets watched [...] we've probably got 20,000 or 30,000 hours a day that could be attributed to something other than what's being done with it'.
The comment comes shortly after 30:18, but the entire vid is worth listening two (shame Part 2 is behind their paywall).
There is some truth here for our consideration. The amount of time we people spend being entertained behind screens, we could be building something massive instead. In the past, people wrote those novels, produced those sculptures and great works of art because they had time to do so, and were not being distracted by the entertainment complex which harvests our time and energy.
We can’t all write novels, produce great works of art, etc because not all of us are gifted in that way. It’s not a question of having the time, it’s whether we have the gift or skill - which I don’t. However, what I can do, I do. For me, the nearest I can get to creating something is my garden (no fruit or veg, I am afraid, in my very urban situation), which is an ongoing work and gives me much joy. But the next people who move here (in due course) will either totally neglect it (not having time, inclination or whatever it takes - I am retired), redesign it (to put in veg?) or pave it over (to make life easier). I feel sure that AI will be able to produce novels, works of art and great symphonies one of these days. Still, what we fill our time with is down to us. We can all make choices! We don’t have to be ‘entertained’ by screens, social media, etc. I already feel that reading articles (such as Miri’s), watching podcasts (such as James Delingpole’s), watching UKC news and interviews takes up too much time - they have replaced the telly for me and I’m not sure it’s a good thing! I really prefer reading literature (which I do most evenings - I aim to have no screen time in the evenings), but keeping in touch via Miri, JD, UKC, etc is a little bit addictive!
I have mentioned in a previous comment, how you often see in comment sections comments like 'I haven't owned a TV in 10 years' etc. This was all very well 5+ years ago but the internet has become the new TV, and it is just as toxic (especially 'social media'). Also, many of the 'alternative' content providers are really just regime gatekeepers.
Where the analogue Television was a brainwashing tool, the internet is a time + energy harvesting tool + a mind control tool and is, in my opinion, even more pernicious. The Television could not be used to TRACK and TRACE me, or have algorithms to triangulate my psychology or my political beliefs and report me back to the mother ship. Catherine Austin Fitts is right when she said that if you give a SMART (lol!) phone to a child, you are inviting psychopaths to come into your child's life via that device.
[I used to say to people - you would never give a child a box of matches, or a can of lager, so why would you ever give a child a SMART internet-connected device? I've stopped asking that question to people, because it just falls onto deaf ears these days.]
The Roman philosopher Seneca, in his essay 'On Suicide' made a great observation. He said that 'If another man tries to steal your land, you will go to war. If another man tries to steal your gold, you will go to war. If another man tries to steal your women, you will go to war. However, if another man tries to steal your time, most people just let it happen; yet the most precious of all of these things is your time'.
I also watch a lot of 'content'. I try to be discerning, but I was aware even 5 years ago how much the internet + digital content had slowly infiltrated its way more and more into my life. I have now come to the opinion that I will know when I am a truly free and a successful human being when I NEVER have to switch a damn computer on ever again.
Am I being too ambitious? Will this ever be possible? At least I am aware of the situation.
A few months ago I dramatically cut down on what I read and watched as I think it was affecting my health. So now, like you, I try to be discerning. In many ways I would adore to never have to switch my computer on again (I am quite sure we won't have to in heaven, if you believe in that), though, having been a secretary/office manager in my working life, computers were a godsend in many ways. A mixed blessing perhaps is the best way to describe them. The Seneca quote is good.
I suspect that these demons (like Harari) are also working towards an age where children (slaves) will no longer be produced by women. This means that the regime can choose who will be 'provided' with children. Is the regime's long-term aim to make women themselves obsolete?
Hence the recent fawning over homosexuals and transgenders and their promotion? I also recall the recent vote in Ireland which attempted to 'redefine the definition of the family' (led by another homosexual - Leo Eric Varadkar) which was basically an attack on women and massively voted against (thankfully).
I'm not sure if the "artificial womb" technologies are quite perfected yet, but I think it's certainly extremely likely that, in the near future, virtually all couples will require IVF to conceive - and the ruling classes will be very selective about who they choose to bestow this upon.
I've also heard ideas bounced around that couples will require a 'licence' (permission) in order to have children, but without hardcore policing + force that may be difficult to achieve. Governments meddling in nature and procreation will never end well - as per the Chinese Communist Party's 1 child diktat.
Loved the Dame N Sturgeon Esq article. Chopping off doors to promote ventilation without understanding... ventilation. Indeed, many of the activities of the SNPeeeeee are beyond parody. By the way, what became of the minor Glasgow back street legal type who apparently liked coach-built (ie, not cheap) motor homes for two? Have the two ferries built at a total cost of close to £500 million started to work? Um. No. Does Greenshill Capital and associates still have access to the £31 million hunting lodge gained as part of the £450 million Fort William aluminium wheel factory fiasco? Um. Probably.
Great birds-eye view Miri. The overlords have also presided over a productive programme to render many more of the population pigeon-chested and bird-brained to increase their chances of succeeding in their avaricious agenda.
Miri's statement 'We could not return to an Amish-like existence and survive, the necessary skills simply aren't possessed in any sufficient quantity by contemporary people, most of whom can't even sew a button, never mind build houses, farm land, or raise animals' rang true again for me this week...
I paid some saved-up coins into the bank this week. I use their machine which prints onto a slip of paper how many coins I've entered. I do it in two batches - one bag of £1 coins, and another with all the shrapnel.
The amounts came to £270 in one pounds coins and £62.08 in shrapnel. Total £332.08.
This time, the teller strangely asked me to add them together before she processed them. I told her to process them individually as they had done so many times before. She insisted that I add them together...
Intrigued, I asked her, "Why can't you add them together? It's basic math".
She then actually got out a calculator and added the amounts together! She then processed the amount as a single number. She could not do the easy sum in her head (and she works in a bank).
[When I was in my 20s, I worked in a Working Men's Club as a barman. There were no digital cash registers, the till was analogue. I had to remember the prices of all the drinks and add them up in my head as the (usually very drunken) order was being given. You most certainly didn't want to short-change a drunken working man or his misses late on a Friday night and keep them away from the dance floor.]
Technology is definitely bird-braining the younger generation. Something's changed.
I am a 'content creator', yet the debate over AI is the same as automated engineering statistic based simulations instead of physical testing. The powerful simulations are impressive, but the correct raw data and observing the behaviour / limitations of the models is all important. Further, the simulations are based on a library of real time events. That library is at it's core is now 30 years or more old.
Endlessly recycling simulations with no fresh input or fresh interpretation leads to design stagnation - which for a commercial company can be fatal.
I see much around me is in design stagnation through lazy unimaginative application of simulation data. That is why I am not afraid of AI. Innovation relies on taking risk, and frequently doing things that are 'not the norm'. AI is stale, an apparently smart wrapper on essentially dumb ideas.
I suspect that all of this pushing of AI in the media by the regime - is to dog-train the masses into eventually accepting their AI systems as sources of 'authority', in a 'just shut up and trust the science' kinda way.
Correct - however AI is simply machine code, and it can replicate many common themes in a very, very short time. This is the defect - AI is a system that has been around for a very long time to analyse lots of information and produce trends.
It is down to us to speak / write/ think with critical thought.
AI will mimic but can't think beyond obvious logic.
I am reminded of the section on the Eliza engine in Adam Curtis' Hypernormalisation documentary - where a simple piece of code managed to convince people of the 'intelligence' of the machine.
A human-machine experiment in the 60s: "While ELIZA was capable of engaging in discourse, it could not converse with true understanding. However, many early users were convinced of ELIZA's intelligence and understanding, despite Weizenbaum's insistence to the contrary." Wikipedia.
Hypernormalization (2016), Adam Curtis, BBC doc. at time index 1:22:55, where he describes the experiment & how people were more open talking to the computer than to a human. https://www.bitchute.com/video/hLterjyK0oyb/
Thought I'd share this interesting piece of IT history! There is even a website simulating the Eliza engine where you can talk to yourself about your problems all day long!
Of course it would start at £1,600/month unrestricted. Then within just a few years it will start to be restricted, then reduced. 'Opposition' politicians will promise to raise it again, etc.
Brilliant synopsis and included solutions to one aspect of our current predicament Miri, well done again!
Can we use a precis of this for The Light with a link and byline back to you?
Very interesting article. Thank you Miri. It made me dwell on rabbits which were introduced to UK perhaps by the Romans, perhaps by the Normans. They were farmed in warrens but then some of them escaped... Bloody everywhere now and thriving.
UBI would be fine if it was paid in cash. That's what we should say to its proponents.
AI apparently uses SO MUCH electricity that it will be competing with us for the wind and solar generated stuff and neither of us will win.
I thought that gardeners, cooks etc. would/could not be replaced by AI along with your skilled tradespeople.

That's our strength. I am certainly a prole, and I assume you are also. Apologies if this is not correct.
Well, there is a Category P on my passport - which, as Mark Windows declares, means I am actually a PAUPER and not a PROLE!
https://windowsontheworld.net/are-you-a-pauper/
