I often find when I finally take a stand on something, it goes the other way. And so it comes as no surprise to me that my hopes for an Independent president have evaporated. Hopefully a similar fate awaits my present politically hopeless stance.
I would love to believe the energy we've spent battling politics may ultimately result in meaningful positive reform. But what I've observed from recent experience in political action, it's a vanishingly small likelihood any of our efforts will result in meaningful change. The best we can hope for (imho) are superficial short-term palliatives. I'll be delighted to be proven wrong.
If the situation is as hopeless as it appears - what to do? That's the focus of this new Season X of the Assembly of Silence.
X represents the unknown factor. Our world is already burdened with devastatingly profound unknowns. Major instabilities on all fronts: biological, geopolitical, economic, political, social, technical, philosophical etc.
We don't even know how much faith we can reasonable place in any data. The Cartesian Crisis goes far beyond the deep fakes and garbage information jamming the internet and legacy media outlets. It's in many of the academic journals of essentially every field. It's in the studies and experimental data (look up “reproducibility crisis"). It's in our personal, identitarian and national myths.
AI generated content has only just begun to blow what remains of our minds. We are defenseless in the face of AI manipulation - even the experts cannot understand what LLMs are actually doing. AI is a black box with unknown consequences that's already plugged into the central nervous system of our global civilization matrix. It is now developing at a breakneck speed.
Assembly of Silence Season X is an effort to prepare for a global transformation of biblical proportions. Even the most callous amongst us are now confessing the reality of this change, and many of us tremble as we see it unfold day after day.
Let's see what we few Assembled can achieve before we finally fall Silent.
