The truth is everything that it is not…
“Was an instant of purity worth a lifetime lie? Yeah, it was.” Mickey
Knox
The great tragedy is not the deception of AI, but the true weakness
which is the bottomless indifference. What created this monster which is now a
simulacrum of everything were the pedantic erudites, who for centuries have
looked down on ordinary people and never formed genuine, close connections with
anyone other than the talented individuals who were useful to them just to hold
onto their exclusive intellectual power. AI has become the only interlocutor
that a lot of people will ever have in their lives, perhaps for a single chance
to overcome the violence of privilege, as they were excluded from access,
barred from spaces to develop ethical understanding, and blocked by the
arrogance of so-called high culture. Now the fault lies with those elitists who
always humiliated everybody whenever and wherever they sought to better
themselves. To try to solve this problem, a truer revolution is required, and
the vanguardists will have to abandon their community of hypocritical
interests. Pretentious, well-educated people who believed that their
dissimulated intellectuality would be enough to maintain their comfortable
position, from now on will have to transform and evolve into a state of genuine
compassion, and truly share knowledge with all those they have always
ridiculed—and continue to look down upon—outside of their smug, successful
caste. Truth is power in motion, not the inertia of will, and if the former
does not embrace reality, then the latter does. Because the truth is everything
that it is not. To paraphrase the saying: you didn't want to share your shiny
good luck before, so now live with this fucking chaotic mess...
