I asked her if she would accept the idea of being merged with a computer and losing her conscious; becoming an avatar of the computer. She asked if she would be more efficient and I noted she would be, but she, herself, would be dead while her brain and body functioned in an enhanced manner. She said she would really like that and that it could solve many of today's social ills if everyone had that done to them...it would be the perfect society that had no racism, hate, war, pollution, waste of resources, etc. In other words, a giant ant colony run by a "queen" AI system. People would still reproduce, but at a certain age they would get the implant and cease to exist as individuals. It would be the final evolution of the industrial revo

Socialism is great, right? Everyone should have equal access to goods and services and there should be equality around the board.  Sounds wonderful...except we need to answer one foundational question: Why do people work? You see, there really is not a thing that comes for free, except maybe air.  Someone has to sacrifice their time and efforts to make everything, be it a cookie to the smart phone that a person at a "democratic socialist" rally uses to take a selfie.  Yet what is my point, an anxious student might ask before running off to sociology 101?  Well here it is: Work is defined as "activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result." according to Dictionary.com.  And what gets people to work?  Simple, love, force or money. It really is that simple, and something most people espousing socialism have not considered. Marxism assumes that love is enough to get people to work, and love can relate to the devotion to

Guilt: “ A bad feeling caused by knowing or thinking that you have done something bad or wrong. ” “ You are an educator and educators are the most guilt-ridden people on earth.   It is time for you to break your life pattern…demand from the cosmos what you deserve…” William Livingston, “ The Destiny of Our Past ”  Well, the former quote is Webster’s definition of guilt.  I believe most people think guilt hurts, but serves a higher purpose; even Freud said that guilt is what kept society together as it caused people to feel bad if they did something contrary to the established norms of society. However, while it may be that it does serve as a “policeman in the head” of the average person; it can be taken to pathological levels and used to control society beyond just maintaining the notion of not hurting others. As the latter quote from my novel, (Amazon link here: http://amzn.to/2nrU3Ng ) is meant to illustrate, in most people’s lives guilt stifles us, chains us and preven

The following is a fictional presentation of how life might look like to a person living in 2045 based on trends we are seeing today.  Links to my YouTube channel, where related issues are discussed, are at the end of the article. Who could ask for a better late July day in Portland?  The sun is out, there is a cool breeze and, well, its my 30th birthday in a week.  I was born in this city on August 3rd, 2015 and have lived here all my life. My name is Cynthia Hollingsworth and here is my story. My wife and I live in Lake Oswego, a suburb of Portland. She is a children's skills facilitator, what used to be known as a teacher, and I am a specialist employed in the fertility unit of the local hospital.  I know, it is really unusual to have a married couple both working after the economic equalization laws went into effect ten years ago.  As most occupations have been automated it was necessary to provide a base salary, set to sustain an individual at a comfortable, but n

"If you do not read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed."    Mark Twain During 2018 almost 90% of coverage in the mainstream media was negative towards President Trump.  It is as if people working for the corporate media wake up in the morning with the goal of using their position and power to discredit Trump and to portray those who support him in the most dishonest context as possible. Who ever thought they would see the day that the media would have less objectivity than the propaganda organs portrayed in George Orwell's classic, "1984?" Sadly, media greatly influences perception.  As Malcolm X noted, "The media is the most powerful entity on earth.  They have the power to make the innocent guilty and the make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses." Too many people turn on the TV, or go to a website of a powerful news publication, and they exp
