Hack or Die? Civilization hosted by A.I.


Summary:


The new reality through the Covid-19 crisis is surveillance capitalism in a permanent hybrid war to get system-relevant data to control the population while intervening with the competing powers utilizing permanent nudging. Every nuclear power, and subsequently every state, must extract a maximum of system-relevant data in a minimum of time. The autonomy of its own AI and the autonomy of the digital-technocratic organization is preserved. Those who do not play this hybrid war game must assume that a competing power will remotely control them. The actual strength of the competition, who dominates, can only be determined by permanent attempts to manipulate the other. The old social reality is replaced in the post-real world by propaganda-driven hacking wars in which our new reality is a state of “Wariety,” a constant state of everchanging war-like conflict situations.



The end of humanity, and the end of the world as we know it, was a myth or could only become a reality through natural disasters. But ever since the cold war nuclear arms race created the delicate balance of nuclear terror, we've barely escaped nuclear self-extinction so many times that it's already a miracle our humanity still exists. Digitalization is a timebomb that ticks.

We are now in the earliest stage of handing over the maintenance and the monitoring of the nuclear balance of terror together with almost all decisive decision-making powers to artificial intelligence. Wherever there is too much to consider when ever there are too many details to decide, human thinking will be replaced by machine computation. For perfect population defense and control via A.I., all of the system- respectively war-relevant data has to be acquired. The more valuable data, the more the AI can do with it. The better hardware is available to develop an AI, the better the power and network resources are, the better A.I. can predict and manipulate humans and their behavior. In the competition for control over the world in all dimensions, from the micro-dimension of quantum and nano-particles to the meso-dimension of the human body, mind, and behavior, to the macro-dimension of conquering space, A.I., our computer development and data collection are the new primary directives for the geopolitical elite.


This dynamic is transforming the world we have known, its civil society, and what we think of as our reality and turning it into an online reality show. In this experimental field, the rules of self and external surveillance are being created and tried out to create a new global totalitarian surveillance capitalism. For a better stabilization of the balance of terror, worldwide information control is the goal, and population control is the way to achieve it.

In this war for the control of information, artificial intelligence already influences and permeates almost all actual communication between humans. Its possible warfare applications range from causing major power blackouts to enabling election fraud, faking whenever nuclear attacks occur, or developing a deadly virus for which only a select group has a vaccine. The potentially hostile applications for the use of AI are forcing geopolitical competitors to favor hybrid warfare and hacking solutions. The constant threat of nuclear obliteration due to the delicate balance of nuclear terror doesn’t escalate in hybrid warfare and hacking attacks, which allow the attacker to remain hidden. The attack might even indicate that someone else carried out the attack, or even rewrite history, by making the others believe in a clichè such as “The United States of America only fights for freedom and democracy.“

In the new global reality created through the Covid-19 Pandemic, civil societies are turned into an online Medical Science fiction reality show to generate preemptive obedience. To initiate the purge of non-compliers, the population is flooded with old religious inquisitorial cliches. The atheist becomes Covid-denier, the anti-christ becomes anti-vaxxer.

As in many reality shows, most of the contestants leave the show financially ruined and mentally broken. What is sold is "The Great Reset'', but you get"The Great Rosette.” The world is indeed on the brink of destruction, which is used to allow panic procedures to suspend the state laws and create a media theatre to drown the population in propaganda that sells the most insidious forms of self-deception and self-enslavement as the only solution for a great new beginning. The Great Rosette unites the worst to spread their mental diarrhea into the hearts and minds of the population using digitally enhanced traditional torture strategies as found in the Biderman report of coercive methods for enforcing compliance in communist regimes 1956.

Periodic Lockdowns function as Biderman-boot camps where societies are reshaped as the population is flooded with propaganda and new tasks. Just as the tasks of a "Big Brother Container Show," these tasks are sometimes meaningful but often pointless, consistently inconsistent, and contradictory, enabling politicians to act out as narcissistic judges blaming their incompetence on the population. The fact that the rules are constantly being changed is a confusion technique used for hypnosis before giving socially degrading tasks. It is also used in narcissistic abuse, where the unpredictability created by the contradictions is called "crazymaking" because it makes you doubt your state of mind and believe the projected omnipotence of the narcissist. Politicians who hold real state power and can buy official and social media cooperation can turn the former civil society into dystopian game shows. They are the all-powerful hosts where they act as totalitarian managers who decide over the whole population and who can play and how.

These same psychological methods as documented in the Biderman-chart of coercion are continually remixed, constant contradiction is supplemented with threats, punishments, and quarantine is used as if the entire population was put in a softcore version of Chinese reeducation camp. In this new form of surveillance capitalism, the oligarchs of the West and the East can merge into one system. Civil societies and their wealth became the food in the shark tank so that the geopolitical opponents did not tear each other apart.

Thus, the most significant genetic and socio-behavioral experiment in human history and the biggest change in human society can happen simultaneously, relatively unnoticed, sold as a public health effort for vaccination. As the citizens constantly fear being called out and punished, even being cast out by the community, only a few dare to investigate the situation. As everything keeps changing, the population can’t understand what is happening and longs for any power to promise stability. This way, the majority falls into a state of uncertainty about what is allowed and what is forbidden and therefore becomes grateful and obedient to be allowed to perform tasks at all. This process repeats itself again and again until the essence of new reality becomes second nature: It is a privilege to perform tasks to be punished less and to be allowed to play another round.

Regardless of whether we comply with or fight this new social order, we depend on electronic devices to organize ourselves to feed our behavioral intelligence and biometric data streams so that we can benefit from digitization and not become collateral damage to one of its disruptions.

When we as citizens gain too much sovereignty, as in the Occupy Wall Street movement or the Robinhood/Reddit/Gamestop affair, the algorithms are altered so that similar unwanted disruptions to the system are no longer possible. Lockdowns are the conceptual prototypes of new digital colonialism that, in various narratives of alternativelessness, transforms human citizens into resources. Through these media reeducation camps, the majority of the prisoner population actively supports the self-imprisonment, trying first to convince and then peer pressure the rest of the population by acting like guards. Because the existence of others puts their hard-earned reality into question, they will try to bring all deviants in line.

Whoever can’t defend themselves is immediately taken hostage and then discarded in the cruelest way like children, which gives a double advantage for the enforcement of government rules. First, the adults' consent can be blackmailed because they have to explain what is happening to the children. Simultaneously, the testing rituals and genetic vaccination experiments on children perfectly train them for their future life as Orwellian citizens in a totalitarian dystopia. All hacks to escape the digital prison are used to perfect the digital prison of the future.
The long-term goal is total control via A.I. of those who survive and thrive as implanted chips, smartphones, smart cars, smart houses, and smart cities will ultimately be owned by a conspiracy of governments and private corporations. To protect you against terrorist A.I.s. is only possible if you are well monitored. The AI can only protect you if everything systemically relevant is connected to and regulated by the A.I. For the A.I., a human is merely a system with two feedback loops to regulate: the desire to play games and the desire to win them.

To finally be freed from the burden of organizing the maintenance of their power by having an AI play "farming humans" is, of course, also an irresistible notion for control-obsessed leaders. Having time to enjoy their acquired power has scarcity value if you want to stay among the most powerful. Who is in control of their own decisions and who is a puppet with better toys is a question of perspective. When our world leaders speak about no alternative to the measures they enforce, they are talking about the dynamics of power, which mercilessly forces them into their role if they want to survive playing this game. Our leaders are in a double prisoner dilemma in which they have to prepare and attack others to prevent attacks from others. In doing so, everyone is bound to enact the same role, presenting themselves as virtuous victims of the vicious attacks of others. As this continues, global civil society becomes transformed to endure in a state of vicious virtuous “wariety,” varieties of hybrid war-like stalemate situations edging a global escalation.

Therefore it comes to an ever-greater approximation of peace and war, within which what is virtuous and what is vicious merge. To excel alternately in both the ever-increasing pressure, in time, it is no longer possible to distinguish what is virtuous and what is vicious. Only the synthesis of both leads to success in the outside world in which the leaders understand themselves and the combined results of what they are doing and their opponents. Only those most vicious virtuous players win in this game. Only the most virtuously vicious criminals succeed in the nightmare of a gangsta’s paradise in which only the most ruthlessly functional deceivers can win.

Our new reality is a global prisoner's dilemma; whoever wants to remain geopolitically relevant needs to maximize their gains by exploiting others through and for the use of the latest technology. They need to do this repeatedly, as fast and as much as possible until they get the strategic technological advantage that ensures the final victory over the others playing the same cyber-colonialism game.

Like cybernetics in the Cold War era, the digitalization through AI promises total control over complex, non-linear processes - from biological to social systems - as well as the serious potential for a neo-religious age, the digital dark age. In their transhuman view, the population is just a stepping stone for the evolutionary process of the development of bio-robots.

Additionally, we have a clear pattern of nuclear accidents, wars, genocides, enslavements that accompany the industrialization of humanity. We should be aware of how quickly humanity could become the collateral damage of technological warfare aimed at world domination. It does not matter whether we will become extinct through radioactivity, viruses, bacteria, biological warfare, or the destruction of our living conditions in the biosphere.

We are experiencing an evolutionary moment in the history of the human species. The danger of extinction forces us to analyze the actual threats to the best of our ability and the best of our imagination. Suppose the purpose of a system is what it does. In that case, the current system keeps us in a state of hybrid war-like conflict situations. The solution is always the creation of another “wariety”, another war-like state of conflicts in which winners can be momentarily satisfied by their win. Every time we have to hope that no World War ignites. Thus, the leaders’ rule becomes more all-encompassing because they can only master the ever-greater unmanageability of the situation by maximizing the exploitation of the population and the maximum personal savoring of the attainable privileges.

If we don't want to go extinct from this pattern, we must change this pattern of pathological problem-solving and human self-destruction before it wipes us out. Right now, digitalization is a time bomb trapping us in a state of ever-changing “Warieties” edging nearer to our mutual annihilation. A peaceful solution has one priority: Can we hack this pattern of will or die?
