By David Stephen “If AI can do your job cheaper and faster, there isn’t a reason to hire you. But more importantly, there isn’t an economic reason to invest in your lifelong productivity, take care of you, or keep you around. We could produce unparalleled value with a fully automated economy, but if the spoils are distributed like the worst rentier states it will not result in prosperity for the masses. Powerful actors don’t care about you out of the goodness of their heart. They care about you for two reasons: [1] You offer a return on investment, usually through taxes…

By David Stephen If there is no human intelligence research lab on earth, what organization should have come up with it and used it to pursue a standard definition, its mechanisms in the brain and how to optimize it — for humans — to compete against AI? The World Health Organization [W.H.O.] says it “works worldwide to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable.” How has the W.H.O. promoted human intelligence, as a division of brain health? How have they kept the world safe from being overrun by artificial intelligence, given the stretches of its capabilities, for intelligence, companionship, and risks like…

By Bear Howard — Sedona, AZ — Since the end of World War II, American communities have been built on a powerful cultural ideal: the single-family home on its own parcel of land. That image—lawn, driveway, privacy—became a proxy for the American Dream. Yet as towns like Sedona, Arizona confront the 21st-century realities of housing scarcity, workforce displacement, and economic dependency on tourism, the rigid lines between “owners” and “renters” have become not just outdated but self-destructive. Sedona’s situation is stark: around 4% of its homes were built as rental housing, in a city of under 10,000 residents. At the…
By Amaya Gayle Gregory Sedona, AZ –I recently wrote about loving as Jesus did. It sounds yummy but it has a hitch in its get-along. You see, Jesus didn’t just love the easy ones, the ones who followed him, who thought like he did. He loved the tax collectors, the prostitutes, the Samaritans, the lepers, and he even loved those who persecuted him. Maybe that’s why so many think he was a God, why that kind of love can’t be expected from us mere humans. Love like that is not to be found in humanity’s nature. Is that why so…
