Every gun that is made,
every warship launched,
every rocket fired signifies,
in the final sense,
a theft from those who hunger and are not fed,
those who are cold and are not clothed.

Dwight D. Eisenhower Address,
"The Chance for Peace,"
April 16, 1953

To give advice to another
What is pleasant?
Success
What is divine?
That which has neither beginning nor end.
The weirdest thing?
An aged tyrant

This is good. Sam is logical but lacks practical wisdom (phronesis) - the ability to exercise context-sensitive moral judgment when explicit rules for a given scenario are missing, incomplete or uncertain.

Most people do not take heed of the things they find
nor do they grasp them even when
they have learned about them,
although they think they do.
Heraclitus 500 BCE Fr 57

Intellectual humility is needed to grasp things:
being
open-minded
curious
realistic
teachable.

Our house is learning to check the AQM on summer days.

machine learning, that elites use to steal people's work, art, ideas, along with their clean air, water, land, electricity, etc. through their data centres.

Awakening to "AI" exploitation is paradigmatic of learning that corporate capitalism steals everything they have from individuals.

Marketing takes a real thing then sells it with abstractions:
machine learning becomes "AI," now "super" intelligence. 🙃

Conscientization (consciousness raising, awakening)

People become aware (woke, eh 😆)

It is hard to fight against impulsive desire.
Whatever it wants it will buy at the cost of soul.

One of the hardest tasks in parenting

in their speculative views.

Two AI creatures, one an AI actor & the other an AI interviewer, appear on a TV show. One glitches & starts speaking Chinese.

1/2. The ancient Greeks, particularly thinkers like Plato and Aristotle, believed the most important quality in a politician was practical wisdom, known as phronesis, which allowed leaders to make sound moral judgments for the common good.
