The oligarchs know that they can only continue to control the population if their dystopian technology reduces our humanity and turns our brains into AI slop. And they also know that they are running out of time. Cognitive warfare of course targets children and adolescents most aggressively.
And after we do all those things you are suggesting, Caitlin, we must express our anger in a strong, loud, peaceful manner at these greedy, power mongers who think that they are supreme beings and who want to control us all with AI or whatever they have on hand.
Great piece. The bleak part is not that AI can make a podcast for your kids. It is that even talking to your own children is now being treated as something inconvenient that can be outsourced.
Capitalism keeps finding parts of being human, turning them into problems, then selling them back to us as products.
This tribal blindness uncovers a deeper, darker question: why is the modern West so systematically incapable of recognizing the essential humanity and greatness of people of colour? It is a profound historical and psychological bankruptcy. The very cradle of human dignity, law, and spiritual illumination belongs entirely to the East. The absolute greatest human beings to ever walk the earth—those who taught mankind how to know, worship, and love the Divine—were not white, not black, nor yellow. They were brown men. Yet this empire has weaponized faith, whitewashed the sacred, and trampled upon the very lands that birthed guidance for humanity, replacing divine truth with the cold worship of their own supremacy.
Noah (as), Abraham (as), Moses (as), Jesus (as), and Muhammad (saw)—to name only a few—carried the exact lineaments, skin tones, and geographies of the very populations the modern West now marginalizes, bombs, and ignores. To see a civilization project a fierce devotion to the message of these Prophets (as) while actively despising or dismissing the humanity of their modern kin is a form of civilizational madness.
This ultimate irony does not merely border on the blasphemous; it is, in its very essence, blasphemy. These activists march under the banner of Christ, yet they cheer or shrug at the systematic erasure of populations living in the very lands where the Gospel was first preached. They claim that Jesus loves the unborn in the West, but they apparently believe he has no love left for his own relatives—the Semitic, Middle Eastern children who carry the exact lineage, features, and geography of the historical Christ.
This is not historic Christianity. It is ancient, unfiltered paganism wearing the stolen vestments of faith. As G.K. Chesterton observed with prescient accuracy:
'The modern world is full of the old Christian virtues gone mad. The virtues have gone mad because they have been isolated from each other and are wandering alone.'
Here, the virtue of sanctity has been violently severed from justice and mercy, reduced to the primordial worship of the white tribal clan—the idol of imperial dominance, wrapped in a cross and sold as piety. They do not worship the God of mankind; they worship their own geopolitical supremacy.
It is an established truth of human nature and spiritual law that a religious hypocrite is far more despised than a straightforward, non-religious cynic. The secular actor who acts out of raw self-interest makes no pretence of a higher law; his malice is transparent. But the actor who invokes the Divine, who claims the moral high ground, and who uses the language of sacred scripture to mask a brutal, tribal agenda invites a unique and justified hatred. Allama Iqbal (ra) captured this exact deception when he warned that the moral claims of Western imperial dominance are but silk trappings draped over an iron heart.
And these are the same people pushing for a universal income, so everyone can just sit, do nothing, while spending their universal income on subscriptions to their junk.
Gaining knowledge enriches and is a crucial part of our life's journey. Learn about the universe, the planet, our history and conquests. Don't ever lose your curiosity. With knowledge of our world comes Wisdom and Freedom of Thought and a profound love and appreciation for our beautiful planet and the wonderful life we share it with.
There is kind of a slippery slope, but it went from a slope to outright freefall. The slope begins with watching a lot of shitty TV (instead of reading a book, talking to people, etc). And buying greeting cards with canned sentiments printed on them so you don't have to think for yourself, struggle to express your feelings. Now a lot of us are not slipping but freefalling.
So well said! Could one ever have believed that the world is now a place where rebellion means to stay human ? Rebellion is needed to feel and think and even talk to our family? Rebellion to decipher what is real and what is fake? ‘Who knows,’ says R.P. Blackmur, ‘ it may be the next age will not express itself in words…at all, for the next age may not be literate in any sense we understand or the last three thousand years understood.’
They're also trying to make AI relevant in any way they can to justify all that money, fuel and water they're pumping into it.
Staying human is so preferable for so many reasons.
WE will hold onto our humanity with every bit of strength we have! We refuse to be outsourced! BUZZ OFF!!!
Thank you Caitlin!

Power To The People and the Planet
Is that from the 60's? Whatever, it's 🎯

Well said.👍
And even more bleak is that as we get lazier, we fall for their shenanigans!
More of us gotta wake up!!
I love this so much. Thank you Caitlin.
Please please please read and share.

How many other planets have done this to - Already ?

Why would anyone *want* to be human?
If the Palestinians can hold onto their humanity - and I believe, in a miraculous way, they are - so can we.

Oh. the voice of reason. You keep me sane in an insane world. Thank you Caitlin
