American Simple Truths

 Home schooling should dominate American education because the main teachers in a child's life are the parents. School systems are more or less a curse. Big government is actually okay as long as it is local government...what my neighbors and I can do will make sense as we know the actual needs. The federal government should be as small as necessary given what the state governments would have difficulty doing ---such as a national military. "Family" should be the center of most legislation. 

And it is best if all elected offices were one term. It comes at a cost: the few good people go home after 4 years. But it comes as a great improvement: Majority and Minority Leaders lose their power...lobbyists lose their power...and the wealthy lose their power. 

What needs to end is this pervsive belief that there are no authorities only opinions. What needs to end is the murdering of the past by the present. What needs to end is the dominance of "experience" over relationship. "You gave me a bad time? It's over!" We mature through commitments and not through the childish running away because some times it is difficult. Marriage is a matter of vows not a superficial contract that can be broken. It is covenant and gives you an identity...for better or worse.

We met on the street corner...West Avenue in Jenkintown, Pa. (1981). I was looking for a place to stay closer to Elkins Park where I would start my first teaching position. She was the crossing guiard and I the big kid wanting her to cross me. I said something silly and she gave me a big smile. I was slain. 44 years later we help each other every day and we have nine grandchildren. The only good thing about being old is those nine grandchildren.

Mainframes and AI Capabilities

 Has AI capability surpassed the fastest mainframe? What does the next #supercomputer look like with a #GPU architecture enabling AI? In personal computing we used our brains (human) with the #Google database...how powerful is personal computing ( #AI enhanced)?

Future War Systems

Many critics of the future of AGI robotics concentrate on what changes will take place for humans? Will we even be replaced? Clearly we will in terms of work. But let us put all of that aside and look at AGI taking over our war systems.

I don't mean within a battle; I mean all-out cyber war and all-out nuclear war. Are humans an active player? Or are they mere facilitators or observors unable to act fast enough with the best solutions? And therein lies my worry. AGI battling AGI in the context of very serious cyber weapons and nuclear weapons. 

I don't see how humans can take any active role...we are too slow and our data base is too small. We certainly can't predict what AGIU will do in such a war---not only of our adversary but even in our homeland security decisions (most of which will not be determined by humans).

All of the above are up-to-date on AI as of 2026. I am waiting for a good argument that AGI will not replace us; so far I haven't read one.

Eric Schmidt and Geoffrey Hinton

These two gentlemen are casting the net of AGI before our imaginations as a warning of the reality soon to come. And they are experts. (I'm only the messenger.) The reader should follow their advice that they are giving publicly---I am by way of (Twitter) "X". 

I was involved in undermining the Y2K problem (by developing 44 solutions) that were noticed or even triggered by the NSA, Bob Martin of Mitre, Senator Robert Bennett and the "2000 Year Commission" president, John Koskinen. I have been doing OSINT work for over thirty years and developed strategies AFTER 9/11 as well as a warning about it six weeks before the tragedy (sent to a former SECNAV). However, my warning---in preparation for a meeting with General Morrison on counterintelligence---had too few details about the incoming attack.

In light of such past work, I am watching the development of AGI; the reader is advised to be learning from the two men cited here. Our president strongly supports robotics and few in his  Administration sees the dangers.
