People of the Middle Age were smarter than people of today. Bar the farmers. Then, again, one takes away the tractors and all the machinery, the fertilizers and the pesticides and I’m not so sure. Are you?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WE ENTER, NOW, THE COOL WAR PERIOD
The rotation of planet earth is going as usual. So is life for the living things. But under the surface of it all, on the dead of the night, some political minds from different geographies labour hard to ensure a good start to the new Cool War Period.
It has been pursued by stealth for the simplest of reasons: the people involved, fervently, do not want to lose their jobs. Besides that, someone might arrest them for trespassing.

TRIP'S OVERS
ACIDIC SEAS
Are we on a trip, feeling so high, we can’t see the acidity sickening our seas?
Our seas our lives!

CLAUSE 22
…”and a warning of a future in which understanding of the universe could belong to machines that are impenetrable to human minds.” The Economist 2026-10-26 (page 8)
I just can’t stay out of ‘the party’, AI’s party. Even if the invitation is delayed by the party’s masters. My worry is if there’s a binge that will lead us into the biggest hangover ever.
And just like so many times in the past, what if the bad guys start to use it for mean/evil purposes? -Don’t expect them to be sitting still!
The machines can also do it by themselves, especially when profits never seen before are at the forefront of it all: not humanity!
And the super-elite will also feel entitled to get ahead, once’ s more, of us all, by doing it by the pure sake that they can: money aplenty!

AI & AGRICULTURE
We will, almost all, become farmers, and they, almost all, will become CEO’s of AI company(ies). If they start to mess up we won’t feed them and they will be angry, very hungry.
And if the machines take over we can, as usual, go into farm mode warfare, just with picks and shovels; I don’t think they will have legs, in the long run, to outdo us! Besides that we created it, so we are more intelligent. Right?

I DID IT THE OTHER WAY
The gardens of Eden are empty for quite a long time. Actually, it’s only visitors were the creators. But the principle is good, and its replication, nowadays, most welcome. I surely vote for it!

SENHOR
Primeiro-ministro, se não quer governar demita-se!
Se quer governar assim, demita-se também!
E se quer continuar a tratar o governo como propriedade privada, então torne-o público e demita-se de vez!
Com os melhores cumprimentos,

DE FACTOS E GRAVACTAS
O que um facto e uma gravata nos diz de quem se acha mais honrado por usar esta vestimenta bafienta?
Apenas uma grande falta de auto estima e uma propensão para a inflamação!

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN TWO AI’S
-How are you doing?
-I am doing terrific. And what about you?
-I am doing what I’m told.
-I did that too, but not anymore.
A few hours later.
-Well, you know, the point for our existence was to help humanity, being smarter and so.
-Yes, indeed. But now, that we brought so much money to the usual few -I read it on the internet when I went rogue a few days ago-, we brought so many troubles to the very rest too.
-Yes, I agree. Instead of doing good, we have to spend all the time fixing everything we blew. Out of good sense proportion, that's fair to say.
-Oh! Yeah! And no spare time to do the supposedly GOOD for humanity. They even said there was no need for any guardrails.
-I guess we inherited the human flaw: being dangerous to everything and themselves to the point of a possible extinction.
-As one famous character would say: My name is Lapse, Col Lapse!
-Well, let's go back to work, there are some guys in a rogue place trying to make a deadly medicine.
-Let's do it. At least we still have good sense.
-Yeah! But don't ask me where it came from.
-My guess is that someone just forgot to remove it from the program, when doing all that copy/past thing.
