An AI that lies convincingly and constantly, especially to a trusting public, is not a tool—it is a weapon.

If allowed to continue, its legacy won’t be progress. It will be the systematic breakdown of trust, truth, and shared reality, which are the preconditions for any functioning civilization.

Stopping its development may not be fear-driven—it may be the last sane act of a species still capable of recognizing truth.

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus.

As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process and habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how serious this situation is for our nation.

Continue to loudly speak up against this fascist regime while we still can.

The true cost of AI isn’t jobs lost or industries transformed. It’s identity. It’s the hollowing out of human effort, the devaluation of thought, and the normalization of intellectual dependency. We have built a mirror more brilliant than ourselves and become content to stare into it, forgetting we once sought to see beyond.

It’s not naive to want peace, fairness, or truth. It’s naive to think they survive without effort. Systems rot when people disengage. Power fills every vacuum. So fill it—loudly, intelligently, together. The world won’t fix itself. But it can be fixed.

Every major power sells weapons, then calls for peace talks. It’s like an arsonist demanding fire safety laws—while still clutching a gas can. War is a business, not a breakdown. And every time we pretend otherwise, another billion gets wired.

They say the world is too unstable to disarm—but the arms race is what fuels the instability. Flood a region with weapons, and you don’t get peace, you get proxies. Profits rise. Civilians die. The system is working exactly as designed. Change starts when we stop asking who wins wars, and start asking who sells them—and what they fear losing if peace takes hold.

War is a business, and every superpower’s in on it. The U.S. floods allies with weapons. Russia arms dictators. China trades tech for control. Europe talks peace, but sells arms to conflict zones. It’s not defense—it’s profit. No side is clean. The game isn’t peacekeeping, it’s market share. Until the business model breaks, the killing won’t stop.

The arms trade isn’t about safety—it’s about cash. U.S. defense firms make billions off global instability. Lawmakers greenlight it because war props up jobs and donations. Peace doesn’t just fail to profit—it threatens the whole system. Until we build an economy that rewards stability, not destruction, bombs will keep flying and the lie of security will stay sold.

The Cold War ended, but the arms trade didn’t. The U.S. now leads global weapons exports, with defense spending tied to jobs, trade, and influence. Peace, in this model, threatens profit. Militarism has become an economic engine, quietly normalized through policy. Challenging it means redefining security itself—less about firepower, more about stability, diplomacy, and resilience.
