The Base

Did you ever meet a guy who was wearing this swish, high tech sling bag around him at your local favorite coffee place...?

And he had some BitCoin in that?

'The Base' is this, maybe, mythical idea that there is a network of terrorists who are funded from some place that is provisioned by these super wealthy Saudis.

Or someone.

Black Ember sling-bag.

Maybe Elon. Actually let's say Elon.

The Base is not an actual location.

It exists as an idea rather than as any particular physical location.

But then again it's also quite real.

Nobody who ever used it in the past, believed that Osama bin Laden was the ultimate financier - because in fact he wasn't.

The story circulated back at the time that this was the mechanism bin Laden was using to arrange payment to those carrying out one or other of his terrorist schemes.

To some extent there was indeed something like it but bin Laden was not in control of the thing.

Right now in the city where I mostly reside, there is this media flap about these kids known as 'eshays' (I have no idea what that means) - and they wear red Nike shoes and are supposedly liable to do bad things. So a friend of mine - Michael Pages - who owns the Bar1 nightclub I told you about where my other occasional meet-up guy Toni-Ville Virtanen, DJ-ays -, banned anyone from entry who was wearing these 'sports' shoes. 

Recently a couple of them stole the Maserati of the CEO of a really huge energy producing company called 'Woodside.'

Something red for you, Bill...?

And if you believe that - that they 'stole' her car- well, there is nothing I can do for you.

They stole it from her front driveway, apparently.

According to the press reports.

The first thing I thought of doing for a few minutes, was rush out and buy me some-a them red Nikes.

But then I hate Nikes...

Michael Pages made it clear that he wasn't necessarily going to ban everyone who was wearing those shoes - just the ones for whom it was the particular 'signal attire.'

For you to get some money from the guys with the sling bags you will also be required to know and understand about the signals involved there are.

So what could they be.

Who cares?!

LOL

Only once every twelve years.

You make some up.

None of this is real is it, KP?

As all of you well know, the terminology 'AI' is somewhat misleading, in that the casual observer will often tend to think this refers to some kind of, well, human-esque form of actual conscious thinking.

Meanwhile, there are some advances being talked about to do with so-called 'Xenobots' - organic self-replicating, god, I don't know - things - which can perform various organised tasks if on the nano-scale level right now.

So at least in the Hollywood movies we will have Xenobots with AI.

But all of that is movie-land stuff.

See the problem for the mainstream typical super-negative-about-everything-except-what-
Uncle-Joe-and-Step-Dad-Fauci-told-him thinkers, is that we have been operating for a while here, and all of you have been very patient, and what that really means is that 'things have been building up.'

And they are not going away.

So, if your kids and grand-kids were bequeathed a million bucks each, so what, right?

Some of you are already on the inside. You haven't been told anything much yet but that will happen.

Human beings consciously feel bad things, they feel discomfort, and they can also feel euphoria and everything in between. Machines are as yet unable to have this kind of dynamic structure for deciding when to use energy to retire, retreat, or advance.

Energy is accessible to machines designed to have and to use it.

Which one, the painting, or the car?
Which one, AI program?
Tell me.

But conscious feelings are not accessible to them. Not in the human world yet, not at any kind of complex human-style level of emotional processing.

For AI programs to be able to deliver to you, accurate statements about what human economic systems are doing -, and liable to do next and next and next, then they would have to have the means to understand human emotions; and they do not.

Even a Xenobot thing with AI would not necessarily have the range or complexity of human empathetic emotional access.

And that does not mean people around the would will not be completely sucked-in to the idea that there are AI programs with emulative human emotion and which can make accurate predictions about economics and finance for them.

In fact it's guaranteed that they will. Those people around the place everywhere you well know and you have seen them and heard from them and read their 'ideas' (or what passes for intelligent ideas, at any rate) -  those people will immediately believe everything that the designated lie sources they are already fully beholden to, tell them.

And of course they will scream loud and long about how they are 'critical thinkers' and seek 'proof' all the time - which is why they believe only what is true. And they know what is true, and they 'seek proof.'

Walking the Dystopian streets at night,
looking for the guy with the right 
sling bag.

Except they never do that because they never can envisage the basic problems at stake around which the specific proofs should center.

Do we have an AI program that can swim under human systems, and 'see' what people are doing in economic and sociological spaces?

Yes we do.

See it would be different if this thing were just now starting up and everything was at 'zero-line/line-ball.'

But it isn't. Some of you gave me money a while back.

And as you know, when BitCoin first started, it already was in the open public space at over $2,000. But then it went up, and then some more 'up.'

If you take a hundred human beings, most of them have seriously flawed psychologies. And they cannot be 'fixed.' And yes I am being judgmental. 

But they are stuck being who they are, although it is more correct to say 'what' they are.

The demons who were sent into the herd of swine and jumped off a cliff, never learnt anything about themselves.

But if you notice in the narrative, at all times they were loud, aggressive, confident, sure of what they wanted to do, sure of who they were, who they were 'going to be...'

They never said 'we do not want to be demons or pigs.'

The ultimate justice of the Universe is that you can be what you want to be.

You can be the guy who stepped into a coffee bar, and found someone with a sling bag, who gave you a few thousand dollars.

Every time.

Oh yes you can.

What do you have to do?

You don't have to do anything. As Robert Pante says, 'it's not about what you do, it's about who you be.'
