CAPITALS OF THE WORLD UNITED

Capitalism is, actually, very expensive!

And nature gives it all for free; we do not even clean our acts!

CAMPEONATO MUNDIAL DA ESTUPIDEZ

Imagine centenas de milhões de campos com relvados sintéticos. Imagine os biliões de bolinhas de borracha que de lá saem e entram no ciclo da água, que é vida, e depois na cadeia alimentar. Para não falar de entrar nos narizes dos nossos petizes.

Bem haja tanta estupidez!

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

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?

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,

R. Xavier
