Elon Musk has famously compared AI to ‘summoning the devil’. Now the Tesla billionaire claims the technology could lead to the creation of immortal robot leaders from which humanity can never escape. His comments were made in the new documentary ‘Do You Trust This Computer?’ by Chris Paine which premiered in Los Angeles last night. The documentary explores the potential advantages and dangers of AI. In it, an impassioned Musk talks about the nightmarish possibility that AI built by authoritarian governments could outlast individual leaders. This, he say, will create a permanent structure of oppression. We could create ‘an immortal … Continue reading →

The post We Will Be Forced To Serve appeared first on LewRockwell.

You’re likely aware that I’m a libertarian. But I’m actually more than a libertarian. I don’t believe in the right of the State to exist. The reason is that anything that has a monopoly of force is extremely dangerous. As Mao Tse-tung, lately one of the world’s leading experts on government, said: “The power of the state comes out of a barrel of a gun.” There are two possible ways for people to relate to each other, either voluntarily or coercively. And the State is pure institutionalized coercion. It’s not just unnecessary, but antithetical, for a civilized society. And that’s … Continue reading →

Mandates and subsidies have not only distorted the market for electric cars, they’ve distorted the design of electric cars. Instead of being designed to emphasize their natural strengths vs. IC-engined cars – which we’ll get into shortly – they’ve been offered up as cost-no-object economic and functional absurdities whose limitations and failings everyone is supposed to pretend don’t exist or accept for reasons of political/environmental correctness. They cost too much, don’t go far enough and take too long to get going again. They tout quickness, sexiness, style and tech – all of which makes them expensive and impractical for most people, who … Continue reading →

Contrary to the picture portrayed by Atlanticist propaganda, Thierry Meyssan takes a long-term view of international relations. For him, what we have seen in Syria over the last seven years is not a civil war, but rather a seventeen-year regional war in the greater Middle East. This vast conflict, from which Russia emerges victor over NATO, is gradually giving rise to a new world equilibrium. All wars end with winners and losers. The seventeen years we have just lived through in the “Greater Middle East” is no exception. Yet, while Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi have been eliminated and Syria … Continue reading →

The post Towards a Post-War appeared first on LewRockwell.

Wow, just wow. There has been a lot of talk in the media, social websites, and video sites about certain things going on that may seem puzzling or down right confusing to the average citizen of the United States. If you want a view into the attitudes and point of view of the average law enforcement person, you’ll get it in the first several chapters of this book. In fact, I think it’s quite deliberate on the part of the author. Some may not like it and feel he is talking down, or talking rough, or whatever, BUT, he is … Continue reading →

Europe is committing suicide- or at least it’s leaders have decided to commit suicide. Whether European people decide to go along with this is, naturally, another matter. ~ Douglas Murray, The Strange Death of Europe Europe is my home. It is where I live. Everything I value is here- on this continent. Everything I love and will suffer to lose is here. My country, separate, slightly odd, provincial and uncool; Brexit Britain, land of bad food and uncharitable reputations on dental hygiene and house cleanliness, is a European country too. God knows it is a conflicted time to be an Englishman … Continue reading →
