'okay fine, but the Chinese data center market is still threatening to surpass our own despite the discrepancy in quantity.' Well actually no, the US data center market is almost twice as large as China's. in fact, our data center industry makes of 33% of the global market.

as of 2025, the US owned 5,427 data centers, with Germany and the United Kingdom coming in at the early 500s. China actually ranked lower at 449. If we are genuinely worried about competition from other nations in AI development, shouldn't we be more concerned about Germany and the UK than China?

'But wait' you might be asking, 'if we don't build these Data Centers, China is going to surpass us, do you really trust China being the lead in AI development?' Well, the US runs 45% of the world's Data Centers, let's see what the other 55% looks like

"I want my water fixed. I want to be able to drink water in this town." Yet another small town council erupts in chaos as council members of Maysville Kentucky secretly passed a Data Center construction approval without their townspeople's knowledge or approval. Over 2,000 acres of Kentuckian nature and farmland will now be dedicated to a Data Center headed by "an undisclosed Fortune 100 Tech company".

When data centers are set to generate a quarter of your country's GDP, you must make a choice between other's comfort, and your own humanity. Which will you choose?

Goldman Sachs projects that Data Centers will generate 25% of the United State's annual GDP by 2031 at a whopping $7,600,000,000,000 dollars - 1.39 times larger than Germany's GDP standing at 5.45 trillion dollars. As Data Center construction continues to steamroll across rural America, we will find ourselves in the exact same situation our ancestors who first opened Pandora's Box by starting the Industrial Revolution found themselves in - surrounded by archaic and hostile infrastructure that forces us to completely change our way of life and further distance ourselves from something anyone would call a meaningful human existence. We are hostages to the technological system.

Another cell tower erected is another spot in which God becomes blind...

The United States government is now legally required to share sensitive national intelligence data with the Israeli government, per Section 622 of the now passed 'Intelligence Authorization Bill' titled 'United States-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement'. Limiting, suspending, or otherwise obstructing information shared by the US government to Israel is now strictly illegal unless the President provides a well detailed reason related to national security within 15 days. Thanks to the technological system, you are now forever beholden to both the US government's surveillance system, and the Israeli government's surveillance system too!

The prestige of science would be broken. With the financial basis gone, few young people would find it practical to enter scientific careers. After, say three decades or so, our society would have ceased to be progress-oriented and the most dangerous of the pressures that currently threaten our freedom would have relaxed. A bill of rights would not bring about this relaxation. This, by the way, is one reason why the elimination of research merely in a few sensitive areas would be inadequate. As long as science is a large and going concern, there will be the persistent temptation to apply it in new areas; but this pressure would be broken if science were reduced to a minor role.

And who would actually work out the details of such a bill of rights? Undoubtedly, a committee of congressmen, or a commission appointed by the president, or some other group of organization men. They would give us some fine libertarian rhetoric, but they would be unwilling to pay the price of real, substantial freedom - they would not write a bill that would sacrifice any significant amount of the organization’s power. I have said that a bill of rights would not be able to stand for long against the pressures for science, progress, and improvement. But laws that bring a halt to scientific research would be quite different in this respect. Previous Page Next Page

If you are an advocate of the bill-of-rights approach to the technology problem, test yourself by attempting to write a sample section on, say, genetic engineering. Just how will you define the term “genetic engineering” and how will you draw the line, in words, between that engineering which is to be permitted and that which is to be prohibited? Your law will either have to be too strong to pass; or so vague that it can be readily reinterpreted as social standards evolve; or excessively complex and detailed. In this last case, the law will not pass as a constitutional amendment, because for practical reasons a law that attempts to deal with such a problem in great detail will have to be relatively easy to change as needs and circumstances change. But then, of course, the law will be changed continually for the sake of social expedience and so will not serve as a barrier to the erosion of freedom. Previous Page Next Page

Break the pattern today or the loop will repeat tomorrow.

In conjunction with SignalTrace's ability to build a fingerprint of where you are, who you are and who you know based on the various wireless signals emitted by devices you travel with and detected by Flock cameras, Palantir promises to achieve something similar with your online activity. Keep in mind that the US government and law enforcement hire companies like SITE to use AI programs to skim social media platforms - especially Telegram - to log and identify anyone who says anything critical of AI, Flock, or Data Centers as 'Anti-Tech Extremists' in documents leaked to WIRED magazine last month. Be careful out there fellas

"The concept of “mental health” in our society is defined largely by the extent to which an individual behaves in accord with the needs of the system and does so without showing signs of stress" - Industrial Society and It's Future, Theodore Kaczynski

Luigi Mangione's defense team plans on arguing that Mangione shot United Health CEO Brian Thompson because of a previously unidentified "emotional disturbance" in a supposed attempt to grant him a more relaxed sentence. Readers may be reminded of Ted Kaczynski's trial in which, against Kaczynski's wishes, his defense team argued he was a paranoid schizophrenic despite having none of the symptoms.

Worth protecting.
