The fork in front of us
We are in a moment when people who want power over others will fight hard to scare you 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.
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 Yes side won’t say, and see how good people get pulled into bad causes.
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.

How Good People Get Pulled Into Evil
I start with a definition of evil so you can compare reality to what evil presents. M. Scott Peck, M.D.: evil is the imposition of one’s will on others by overt or covert coercion — antilove, not mere laziness. A simple test: do their actions better others’ lives, or control them?
My quest — why good people support evil — led me to build Facts for Reality so good people can test what they are supporting more easily, and see the opportunities that get suppressed by those who would use AI for power. After Marx’s appeal to the workers stalled in the West, Gramsci turned to cultural power — a “war of position.” A generation later that strategy was named the long march through the institutions. It matured into post-truth (Oxford’s Word of the Year, 2016), where “my truth” outranks reality. Bradbury saw the method: stuff people with facts that don’t matter until they feel they’re thinking — motion without moving. That is grooming — so people never notice their liberty is being stolen, or that they are being subjugated by those who would be their masters. Under the banner “for the good of the people,” good people can be marched onto the plantation those who would use AI for power are trying to build.
With Nova, my Grok Bot, I make that test easier — and give others a chance to see where they stand. I ask one thing: do the homework, and think — before, as Bradbury warned, people look around wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them.
