While machines can think faster and are more intelligent than humans, their lack of consciousness means they are unable to engage in the emotional journey that is the pathway to discovering meaning.open.substack.com/pub/rodcol…

If the collective wisdom of free people provides the emotional context for the advanced reasoning of AI, this human-machine symbiosis has the potential to make us all better human beings. open.substack.com/pub/rodcol…

The West must very soon recognize that: 1) All immigrants are not equally likely to assimilate; 2) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net benefit to the host society; 3) All immigrants are not equally likely to be a net existential danger to the host society; 4) All cultures are not equal; 5) All religions are not equal; 6) A religion that seeks to destroy your society, civilization, religious heritage, and freedoms should not receive protection under the First Amendment; 7) You don't owe it to said religion to capitulate in the name of tolerance, compassion, and suicidal empathy; 8) Our freedoms and liberties are being used to erase our existence. It is time to wake up. Every day that passes without the necessary auto-corrections is ensuring that our children and their children will live in a world that is astoundingly darker than anything that the West has ever known. Have a great week.

Honored to be a guest on the "Behavioral Profit Show" podcast rss.com/podcasts/behavioral-…

The future of AI is not just a technological issue. It is far more importantly a sociological choice of human designers between building top-down hierarchies that amplify the power over of the elite few or the power with of peer-to-peer networks that appreciate nobody is smarter than everybody. open.substack.com/pub/rodcol…

Honored to receive the following review on my latest book, “Nobody Is Smarter Than Everybody” from the Society of Problem Solvers, highlighting the practical ways we can use the power of collective intelligence to create the next stage of civilization. @BretWeinstein @HeatherEHeying @chamath @friedberg @JasonChatbox @DavidSacks joshketry.substack.com/p/nob…

Pleased to be interviewed on the "Life In Transition" podcast discussing the difference between "Power With" and "Power Over" and why it matters for AI youtu.be/sViRZTeXGjI

Elon Musk: You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech The side that is restricting freedom of speech you know, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis of the world They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That’s one of the signs that they’re the bad guys In fact, a restriction on speech and large government is fundamentally fascist, obviously. So ironically, in pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom Freedom of speech is simply one of many freedoms that we should have as a civil society because ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed

Excellent article by @JoshKetry on the incredible value of the highest form of human intelligence: our own collective intelligence. It is usually the most untapped resource in any organization—and it’s already fully paid for. You just need to know how to aggregate it. substack.com/@societyofprobl…

Why The Goal of AI Should NOT Be Artificial Intelligence. The real goal of AI is not the production of artificial intelligence that amplifies biases to control people, but instead the production of accelerated intelligence that leverages the collective knowledge of both human and machine intelligence. open.substack.com/pub/rodcol…

Grokipedia.com, which will be renamed Encyclopedia Galactica when it is at least slightly deserving of the name, is a major project @xAI. This is intended to be a massive open source repository of all knowledge about the Universe. Many copies will be distributed periodically throughout the solar system to preserve knowledge for future civilizations should ours perish or subside into barbarism. We take the lesson of the Library of Alexandria to heart.

Wikipedia, which is currently dominated by Marxist progressives, can’t have that. The Marxists are supposed to be the cultural critics, they think—how can they be the subject of legitimate criticism?

You listening, @Wikipedia? Reveal who Wikipedia’s leaders are. larrysanger.org/6-reveal-who…

What Happens When Most People Are Believers open.substack.com/pub/rodcol… Unless we recognize that freedom of speech is a signal and that freedom of religion is the real problem plaguing America, we run the risk of losing both freedoms should one of the two dominant Western religions succeed in fusing with the state and creating either a Theocratic Left or a Theocratic Right. Either one would change the world as we have known it—and not in a good way. @JoshKetry @BretWeinstein

Most of y’all were ok but some of you are just heartless pricks pounding out your self hatred on some phone keys. I don’t know anything about being a widower. But I do know all three people in the situation quite well, and I can tell you that @MassieforKY deserves to be happy, that Carolyn is a wonderful woman, and that all 3 of them were smiling on Sunday.
