Joe, you mentioned talking to would-be Luddites on your travels—thats fascinating. I would love to see an article about the Luddite movement and if there is anything that people can learn from their short lived journey into chaos and anarchy. I personally dont see any resistance to AI but rather a full fledged rushing towards it by the many with open arms.
Thank you, Joe, for this thought-provoking article. I’m praying for His wisdom on how to approach my pastors about their thoughts and how much they know.
Hi Joe. I wanted to discuss something I think applies to the use of AI. I saw a video (included below) on using cursive handwriting in taking notes for study, or even writing 1st drafts of books, but particularly when being told information in a lecture. Typing can mostly bypass the brain, information going more from the ear straight to the key board, your concentration going more toward typing correctly. Hand writing in cursive script is more efficient than hand printing. The most important thing is it engages the brain. You actually think about what you are hearing as you write and take down the most important information. My note taking on both lectures and writing notes from the books (I usually later transcribed my notes on my computer as well for study guides) my notes is what got me very high grades in exams.
I believe the way people are using AI is similar. AI gives you answers or a solution, but your brain is not necessarily very engaged. One needs to look up sources the AI used, ask follow up questions, refine your query, and probably ask different AIs the same questions for a differential view. It is ultimately the amount of times you interact with information that makes you own the information. To many, AI queries are just lazy or cheating ways of being told something that may or may not even be correct.
Mounting evidence shows that our rush toward digital everything comes with hidden cognitive costs. Neuroscientists have been studying what happens inside your brain when you write by hand versus type, and the results are... unexpected.
In this video, discover what EEG brain scans reveal about handwriting, why "slower" might actually be faster for your brain, and the surprising connection between ancient practices and cutting-edge neuroscience."

I enjoyed that. It's good to see you writing again.
Thank you for what you do, Joe. Some of us really appreciate your voice on the subjects of AI and transhumanism.
God bless you always. ♡

The question I think many are asking how do stop the men that seek to use AI and other technologies to harm and subdue us?

Addendum: I just found another good video by a Wisconsin Bike Shop owner / bike mechanic: The AI Nothingburger: Why Are They LYING To Us!?

Boy, he sure changed his mind fast.
Influencers always have their finger to the wind.
Yes, I saw that video too. I think there is something in the wind these days.
