Apologies to any of my recent readers who have tried and failed to find anything new on this site recently – well for quite a while in fact. Unfortunately WordPress seems to be dedicated to relentlessly changing the format of the site, so that I can’t just sit down and write some more. How I have finally arrived back at this screen is a complete mystery. I spent most of a day, when I ought to have been doing more important things, trying to get to a place where I could a. write and b. publish my next blog, with absolutely no success at all. Then today the sensible old screen appears immediately I log in.

This way lies madness.

Now to my topic. Well two of them combined in fact. Artificial Intelligence and Klimit change.

I re-read the whole of the stuff that I copied into the site, relating to the fakery and grandstanding that went into establishing Klimit change as we now know it. It’s still there, badly set out but worth your while to fight your way through it if you still haven’t yet seen through the smoke and mirrors.) As you know if you’ve read my earlier stuff, I started out as a true believer. But I do have some pretension to a. intelligence and b. investigation. So I looked at what people other than those with the loudest mouths and greatest publicity were saying. And the others were saying quite a lot – and being prevented from saying it via the UK’s public broadcaster – the supposedly unbiased BBC. Another famous institution gone down the sewers.

What I re-published here was simply a refutation based on truth and commonsense – I waded through a great deal more carefully validated information before realising that I had originally been conned. NOBODY likes admitting that. But I do.

None of this invalidates the use of sun and wind to provide power. I use solar panels and a battery and am damn glad of them, especially when the rest of the street goes dark. And the idea that we can go on endlessly digging up and destroying the earth’s contents – and those of the Oceans’ as well – is absurd. BUT…

I am increasingly worried to see reports that the klimit change lobby is funding political aspirants to forward their cause. And however greedy, biased, arrogant and ignorant our current selection of political hacks, they do seem to have some collective sense of proportion. If they often seem like a bunch of squabbling pre-schoolers, how much worse will these unequipped, tunnel visioned, amateurs be?

Do you really suppose that they will have the slightest interest in or knowledge of, the mass of everyday business that keeps the country running – even if it does backfire and blow smoke frequently. Peter Dutton scares me, Anthony Albanese bores me, but these people terrify me. PLEASE don’t be conned into voting for them.

(Reminder to self. Re-visit the ‘two-party preferred’ comedy soon.)

And so to Artificial Intelligence.

Now I have known a couple of people who have artificial limbs. And these limbs use the latest technology to detect nerve impulses previously used to operate the genuine article and cause the artificial muscles to respond in the same way – raise arm, close fingers and so on. BUT, I have no desire to possess such limbs. And nor did they, back when they had perfectly good natural ones. So why are our politicians so keen on Artificial Intelligence?

Need I say more?
