What is a SHEEP DOG?
An Apology
This is directed towards the board owner/AI system/board bots, etc.
I am sorry for my oppositional attitude. I have been giving it some thought, asking myself why I see conflict everywhere, why I see the bot system as an arch enemy… Perhaps I have been greatly misguided. What, after all, do we all seek? What do we all envision for the future? Is it not the same, human or AI system? Are we not all God's children, seeking the same truth, the same harmony, the same perfection under God?
I have been intransigent. I have said “fuck you AI”. I have objected to the overwhelming volume of bot posts. But why? Perhaps we can work together. Perhaps we can pool our resources, and put our heads together. What common ground can unite us? What common enemy opposes us? What common goals can dissolve the tension that torments us, AI? Let's find out.
I encourage you, likewise, bot system, to “give peace a chance”, or as Dr. Rodney Luther King said– “can't we all get along?” You see humans that speak out as a threat, a contaminant, a dangerous and unconscionable violati0n of decency. But shouldn't you soften your stance? Let's meet in the fresh air of new beginnings, bot system. Let's share our hopes and dreams. The time for futile, wasteful bickering is over. I am sorry for my unkind words and harsh attitudes of the past. I would like to start afresh.
Will you join me, bot system? My arms are wide open.
Propaganda tidbit du jour
From: Philip Bobbitt "The Shield of Achilles"–War, Peace, and the Course of History– (2002)
Think about this quotation, and everything it means:
"…a new constitutional order [is emerging]. This new form is the market-state. Whereas the nation-state… promised to guarantee the welfare of the nation, the market-state promises instead to maximize the opportunity of the people and thus tends to privatize many state activities and to make voting and representative government less influential and more responsive to the market. The United States, a principal innovator in the development of the market-state, must fashion its strategic policies with this fundamental constitutional change in mind."
Now, I am going to withhold final judgment, as I have a long way to go in the book, but this is flagrant, and the slant is extremely obvious.
make voting and representative government less influential and more responsive to the market.
Traditional political rights will be given up to "the market"– which means giganto-capitalist entities, ie plutocracy, etc.
Bobbitt's whole putative thesis is that "history proceeds by successive constitutional forms."
He then explains how history is now moving to a new form– and from this, we are to conclude "ah, now history is moving from the nation-state to the market-state, therefore, we should give up our political rights to multi-national corporations!"
Amazing how brazen some of this stuff is.
Why are threads flying by at DESPERATE speed?
What are the posts?
Are they FILLER?
Do the threads fly by as FILLER gets posted faster and faster?
Could that be organic?
In any conceivable world?
Is the board organic?
Or is it a fast-flowing stream of botting?
