When you’re on my Substack, you’re on an island of the hold-outs. The resisters. And because more people are seeing what’s coming down the pipeline at us, the island is getting bigger.
This podcast is a culmination of what I’ve been writing about for 20 years.
Not just the onslaught of Artificial Intelligence. More than that, the transformation of human minds into machine-intelligence.
I’m not referring to the massive biological experiments on the brain. I’m talking about people making themselves into computer-like creatures.
In their mode of thinking. In the language they speak and write. And finally, in their complete rejection of their own creative impulses.
The journey to artificial intelligence began long before the technical capability was launched.
You can go back in time and hear the “normal insanity” in the language of lawyers, the language of scientists, the language of news broadcasters.
All the life has been sucked out of those languages.
AI is simply and horrifically a reflection of what humans themselves have become.
As AI invades every sector of society, replacing people in government and corporations and even in the arts, the difference will hardly be noticeable—because the people were already “machines.”
This is a science fiction film come to life—The Mind Snatchers. Snatched by the powers-that-be? Yes. But ultimately by willing volunteers themselves who surrendered their uniqueness to something entirely Mechanical.
And then preposterously denied their surrender, in a language that could come right out of an IBM press release.
The subject of this podcast is red hot, because people are in complete denial about their surrender. They don’t want to be told about it. They don’t want to think about it.
They definitely don’t want to think about what they surrendered.
I’ve been thinking and talking and writing about these things since I was 17.
And now that AI is upon us, more people are starting to grasp the meaning of the Big Surrender.
I hope you’ll join me in this no-hold-barred podcast.
I’m not going to approach you as if you’re machine intelligences. I’m going to be talking about Life Force vs. Living Death.
Because we’re at that crossroad.

A lecture I first read then listened to from a program called "Thinking Allowed" I have valued information (data, data, data...) as the lowest form of knowledge. Significantly more valuable if truth and soul are to be uncovered and revealed are ideas and insights. Imagination also leads to revelation. Intellect can prove a good servant but a terrible master. Great podcast, Brother Jon. Good to hear!
