When the System Fails, AI Just Fails Faster
It’s become trendy to fear artificial intelligence. People call it faceless, inhuman, dangerous—like it’s some rogue intelligence slouching toward Bethlehem to be born, as Yeats might put it, but coded in Python. The usual suspects line up on podcasts and headlines: AI is unaccountable, AI is opaque, AI is going to destroy us. But here’s the dirty secret no one really wants to touch: the real fear isn’t AI. It’s the system that birthed it.
Because AI isn’t doing anything new.
It’s just doing the old injustices faster.
It’s the tech support call that goes nowhere. The customer complaint that dies in a CRM purgatory. It’s every email that ended in “Unfortunately, we cannot assist you further.” That dead-eyed chatbot that loops you back to the same useless FAQ page. It’s Comcast, but with a neural net.

Once you strip away the corporate PR, the soft-focus documentaries, and the TED Talk civilization we're spoon-fed, you’ll find something both obvious and disturbing: Most people are deeply, irreparably incompetent. Not in a cynical or cruel sense—but in a literal, cognitive, spiritual, and psychological one.
We’re not living in an enlightened global society. We’re living in a glorified daycare for post-adolescents—a padded playpen administered by petty bureaucrats and narcissistic “leaders” whose core qualification is their ability to form cliques, mimic authority, and bluff their way into influence.

Beneath the Quiet Hills: Timothy Leary, LSD, and the Dark Psychedelic Legacy of Millbrook, New York
Here, in the early 1960s, the sprawling Hitchcock Estate became ground zero for one of the most radical and controversial chapters in American cultural history. At its center was Timothy Leary, the Harvard psychologist-turned-psychedelic evangelist, whose experiments with LSD weren’t just about science — they were about rewriting the very nature of human consciousness. But the story of Millbrook is far more than just a tale of drugs and counterculture. It’s a labyrinth of shadowy government ties, elite family secrets, occult undertones, and a communal search for transcendence that veered dangerously close to madness.
The Age of the Grounded Savage
The world is loud now. Loud with half-truths, corporate smirks, fake apologies, algorithms that watch us closer than our parents ever did, and customer service reps who somehow say everything without saying a damn thing. Empathy’s been rebranded as a weakness. “Understanding” has become the welcome mat for abuse. And people still want you to play by the old rules—smile, wait your turn, don’t make a fuss—while they bulldoze boundaries and call it “standard policy.”
