The real reason they want to change the name of AI to “Super Intelligence”

Control over our lives will be far easier if we are convinced the things that stole our jobs, removed our independence, and monitor our very existence are superior to us. While ‘artificial’ leaves room for vulnerabilities that humans can overcome because humans maintain a perceived intelligence edge, ‘super’ implies humans are sub-par and cannot win. And by corollary, the handful of masters that control the ‘super intelligent’ are far superior to everyone else.

It’s psychological warfare. Make the enemy (humans in this case) think they are defeated before a shot is even fired.

The Massacres are Coming

We are being conditioned to accept extrajudicial executions.

We are on a path where this leads to mass murder. Perhaps a horde of migrants flooding across the border. Or maybe a group of protesters labeled domestic terrorists.

People wonder how the Germans allowed or even embraced the rise of nazi Germany. Well, its happening right now.

This is being fueled by resource scarcity and civilizational collapse.

$80 Crude, $170 Reality

Diesel is priced as if oil was $170 because of shut (or exploded) refining capacity. Because industrial society relies on diesel for freight, farming, mining, and manufacturing, this price gap signals severe underlying fragility in global energy systems.

War, declining EROEI, and resource depletion will eventually culminate in physical shortages and bare shelves

CO2 Make Dumb

Even if we survive the fires, the starvation, the heat we are still doomed. The atmosphere that permitted complex brains is reverting to pre-human levels.

The more co2 in the air, the dumber we get. Eveventually, our species (if it survives) will devolve back to a primitive state.

Why we're blind to civilizational collapse

Most people mistake dangerous existential threats for temporary fluctuations. Standard prediction models assume history repeats itself, but unprecedented crises like climate change introduce Knightian uncertainty. This means the systemic rules of our planet are actively shifting, rendering historical data useless.

Society continues to treat existential threats like routine market dips. In reality, humanity is rapidly marching toward an absorbing barrier, a mathematical point of no return. Once the system crosses this threshold, total collapse becomes permanent and irreversible.

The terrifying reality is that humanity will not see the final breakdown coming until it is already too late to act.

Shutting the door

Investors for Paris Compliance was created in 2021 to ensure Canadian companies stuck to their voluntarily announced climate pledges. After 5 years, they've called it quits, realizing their hopes were doomed. Id argue they had no hope of success from the start. We exist in a system that prioritizes short term profits over long time survival. There was never any way those companies would stick to their pledges.

Without regulation, corporate behavior is inevitable. And down the toilet civilization goes, despite everyone knowing better.

Collapse related by showing how the system is inevitability self-destructive.

Global 10%: An inconvenient truth

We see these headlines and think "yeah, they're the problem". Some distant oligarch on his yacht is responsible for climate destruction.

​

But this is us. Most people living in the West belong to the global top 10%. The middle class lifestyle (yes, the one that has been fading for decades now) is underwritten by climate destruction around the world.

How the 2027 Super El Niño Will Replicate the 1877 Global Famine

The impending super el nino, combined with US drought and global fertilizer shortages threatens to squeeze humanity late 2026/2027. We are on the precipice of a global food shortage, closely matching the great famine of 1877.

The forecasts for the coming el nino keep worsening by the day. We are looking at big heat spikes, dry monsoon and erratic weather. Crop failure will lead to shortages and higher prices.

Collapse related because food shortages are cause for collapse.
