The fork in front of us

We are at a moment in history when people who want power over others will fight hard to scare them into believing AI is impending doom. If ordinary people don’t learn to use AI to better humanity and determine what is real, history’s usual path wins: the power-hungry stay focused while the live-free-and-let-live people don’t pay attention until the crisis is already on them. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.” — C. S. Lewis

The other path is real: abundance beyond belief, if enough of us look at what is actually true and act. This site is homework for that choice. Test claims, spot what the proposition proponents’ yes side won’t say, and the purveyors of fear side won’t say. See how good people get manipulated into supporting bad causes. People vote to award power and money to those who are never held accountable for their lack of performance.

Part of AI’s power, properly used, is that we can know what is true — see How Can You Determine Truth? For those who want to live in the real world, preserve liberty, and build toward abundance, this is the American path Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington pressed after the Civil War: build toward the life America promised, and create opportunities for their liberated countrymen rather than destroy what they inherited.
