Sometimes Poets Have to Stand Up for Reasons of National Defense

Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way. O/

Date. Check. Tagline first sentence to stretch. Check. Circle-Slash signature to cryptically say hello. Check.

On with our show...

What do we shape when we shape language? What is it we wish to express?

Our personal experience of Life.

A simple question and a dire one in this time of AI: What are words for?

Certainly more than making video games to help with Internet searches.

Language is: an arrangement of symbols and sounds to convey living experience.

Why convey it? Why are we compelled to share ourselves with others?

Sure there's lots of Scientific ideas on what words are for, but they require what words do in order to make them.

The super-position of language is absolute. Anyone defining what words are for is trying to bite their own teeth. We need the thing to measure the thing and so the measure always falls short.

Like attempting to pound a nail into a hammer without another hammer around, so go our attempts to classify what words are all about.

Language is the software of humanity. Like all software it's constantly in need of updates.

That's what Artists and creative people are for: Software Developers for a thing, a real living presence, called language.

Original Intelligence makes the Artificial possible.

So I sit my poetical poet's behind down every morning and share new ideas in new arrangements of words to help keep our software developing.

If we don't update our phones or PCs they lag and freeze. The American Press distribution methods haven't been updated in nearly a decade. AI demographics churn out more of the same to the same people. And so, my Country is in an algorithmic holding pattern with our language.

The only way to update The Software of America is to put living breathing people back in charge of Press distribution.

There are no classes in a healthy America. There's one free citizen at a time. For at least a decade algorithms from corporate media machines have treated the populace like classification demographics.

A democratic algorithm is an oxymoron. Freedom cannot exist with a monarch, dictator, or technological machine in charge.

America's shared voice right now is limited by Artificial means. Technological advancements and our enthusiasm for them has a stranglehold on our liberty.

Like a child with a new toy who forgets the rest of what's important about life, so goes so much of humanity in regards to AI.

Values like individual liberty and press freedom are thrown aside so we can play video games a little longer.

Historically, history tends to repeat itself. With algorithms in charge of business, that's all history can do.

Regardless of how efficient AI companies harvest new language it is always past tense information. There's no living free present in it. There's no opportunity for hope in a machine controlled environment.

As I wrote before: Hell is not other people; it's a world full of hopeless stories. Exactly what The American Press is systematically classified and arranged to do right now: Send citizens stories devoid of hope.

Hope is a living human attribute; it's always something new. Even if it's a nano-second ago AI can only always repeat the past.

To program AI to send stories of hope to people is like asking a lemon to be sweet. It simply cannot without constant human oversight.

The metrics in place to defend our liberty don't focus on the realm of the Arts. And that is where America's true enemy is staging our downfall, at present.

Our Freedoms of Expression, of Press, of Speech, are not any safer no matter how many aircrafts we build or how many troops we train. This fight has to be won by America's Artists and Creative Minds.

Sometimes poets have to stand up for reasons of National Defense.

And so I write...

TL;DR: The reason why America is in turmoil right now is because there's no hope in the stories we share because AI is filtering our media.

Thanks for your consideration.

And, still:

Congratulations for reading.
