We are all at each other’s throats in this modern world. Women’s rights, men’s rights, transgender rights, gay rights, the problem of blacks and whites, and a world which has become mad with violence and terrorism.

The real problem has nothing to do with color or gender politics. It has to do with those who now seek to control this world and tell everyone how to live. It has to do with science … not like Madam Curie, but more like Frankenstein.

You have to have lived under a rock not to see that modern technology and science is leading us into a really questionable future. Their pet project is artificial intelligence. We have driverless cars, thermostats that work remotely, lights that come on when we enter a room, etc.

We are surrendering our freedom to the machine and those that program it. This amped artificial intelligence will rule us. It will tell us when to exercise. It will tell us when to sleep. It will wake us up. It will guide all the economics and make the car repairs. It will keep us alive and healthy and make us all slaves.
