The Shift has Begun – Can You Feel it?



The Shift has Begun – Can You Feel it?

Despite the chaos that continues to reign in the world, there is something very exciting that is also occurring.

If you tune in, you may realize that the long-promised rebirth of humanity is now finally happening. The positive Shift into a New Age has, at long-last, begun in earnest.

And those who are in the first wave of Ascension are already experiencing this Shift. It’s gradual and progressive — but it is happening.

Stop for a moment and feel deeply into yourself. Can you sense the presence of a greater calm and silence that is now flowing in and through you? It’s subtle – but it’s there, softly permeating your mind and your body.

You may be worn out at this point in your Ascension process and frustrated beyond words at how long you’ve been waiting for this Shift into the Fifth Dimension to occur.

But, whether you’re aware of it yet or not, you are now truly in the process of being reborn into this higher dimension. It is finally happening. This is not a birth of a whole new you, although it may eventually feel like it. It is simply a complete revealing of the TRUE YOU that’s always been there.

It’s a YOU that’s been mostly hidden under a false layer of imperfections, emotional and spiritual woundings, and heavy, uncomfortable ideas and perceptions of who you are.

If you’re like most humans alive today, you’ve likely incarnated on Earth for thousands of years.

And during that time, you’ve been saddled with powerful negative control mechanisms and frequencies in your brain and body, keeping you weak and unaware of the true power and beauty of who you are as a human Soul.

But, at long last, especially if you are an Ascension front-runner, the time has now come for all of this to truly begin falling away.

You’ve probably noticed that this rebirth has been happening gradually for a while; but there are now new frequencies entering onto the Earth. along with positive astrological configurations, that are facilitating this rebirth process to occur much more rapidly.

It’s true that events out in the world continue to appear to be ever more frightening and chaotic. But, if you check, you may see that you are not feeling as helpless about it all as you once might have.

You may realize you are now being released from forces within your body and brain that have pushed you toward weakness. There’s probably a new strength you’ve now developed within yourself. Over the past few years, you’ve survived an increasing number of challenges on all levels – difficulties you would have, in the past, never thought you could survive.

More Trust and Less Fear

You may also become aware that, despite the many unknowns happening in your life and within you, you are now feeling more trust that everything will somehow work out in the end.

There is less fear ruling you. Part of it, again, is knowing you have become a lot stronger, much more capable in handling frightening events in your life. You’ve managed to pull through grief and fearful events in ways you’d never imagined you could.

But part of it might also simply be a greater relaxation, due to knowing more clearly that you are being guided within a field of love and that you will somehow continue to be taken care of whenever you might need help. You’re not as focused on possible catastrophic events as before.

In addition, perhaps you can more easily see that the dark world events now occurring are actually signaling the end of the negatively-controlled governmental structures that have kept humanity captive for many eons of time.

You can understand that the old Deep State systems designed to keep humanity weak and in fear have to fully collapse. It will likely take a while for these structures to completely fall apart and for new, more humane and productive ones to replace them. So, more disruption is likely to ensue in this process.

But you may discover that you will be able to ride these waves of transformation with much greater ease now than you’ve been imagining – because a new YOU truly is coming online.

Greater Calm and Silence Within You

Even though the challenge of old woundings and traumas rising may still be occurring, and self-doubt continues to haunt you at times, again, check within for a moment.

Is there, nonetheless, maybe less noise within your head occurring? Has the Inner Critic become somewhat less oppressive? The Auto-Commentary a little quieter? When you try to meditate, is it often somehow easier to fall into deep silence?

It’s still important to keep aware of these inner voices and to realize they are producing thoughts in your mind that aren’t yours; they are designed to weaken you and keep you asleep. But you can also notice that they too are now getting less insistent.

In general, you can be aware that the Light Forces are becoming more and more successful in turning off ancient technology that has caused harm to human brains and bodies.

As time goes on, you will likely begin to experience this by a greater natural calm and stillness that is more and more often present inside you — and the level of unsettling anxiety within you is now increasingly absent.

Greater Ease in Releasing Old Woundings

Have you also maybe noticed that healing work is getting easier and faster to do?

Maybe you’re finding a greater sense of ease in releasing old woundings, negative patterns, and memories of traumas than ever before?

In fact, when old painful patterns or memories arise within you, you might try seeing if you can simply hold still and just observe them. Rather than rushing to either somehow get rid of them or heal them, you can instead simply be aware that, at least some of them – those issues you’ve already done healing work on – are already in the process of releasing.

You can realize that this is precisely why they’re showing up now. They’re on their way out. If some technique occurs to you to quickly assist with the release, you can try it and see if it works. That can help. But, if it doesn’t, you might find that if you step in and try to do something else with it, you could actually slow the full releasing process down.

Instead, if you can just observe what’s being brought to your attention, without either accepting it or rejecting it, you might see it is simply being shown to you because it’s already in the process of release.

It may take a while to go through this process. It might well be uncomfortable. But you can realize that whatever is releasing was never truly actually a part of you to begin with, that it was something that other forces designed to create weakness within you have inserted.

And it can be easier to just observe it neutrally, while feeling compassion for yourself, and then watch it eventually just leave your awareness.

More Gratitude for Simple Things

Another indication you might notice that a rebirth process is occurring for you is the sense of greater gratitude you are feeling for things in your life you’ve always taken for granted.

Gratitude is not just an emotion like any other; it holds a specific frequency of power we can experience. Feeling it can turn around so many uncomfortable emotions, such as self-pity, anger, grief and despair. And it usually doesn’t take long to find things in life you never used to think about that you can now feel grateful for.

Maybe, for whatever reason, you are no longer able do things you used to do with great ease. Either your health, your financial situation, or something else is making these things more difficult for you to do. But are you now maybe noticing the small delights that have always been present in your life but have never been much appreciated before?

Such as the beauty of flowers and the majesty of certain trees in your yard? How about the glorious feel of sun on your face?

Or the delightful pitter-patter of rain outside your window? The charming chirping of birds?

How wonderful that these kinds of delights are still available to us! And, at least for now, you likely still have certain foods you enjoy eating. And books that interest you, or videos that give you a sense of relaxation. How about children you may see that give you a sense of delight?

And then, of course, there are the people in your life you’re realizing are part of your true “family” or tribe. Maybe there aren’t many of them – but you now know them to be people you can trust to truly understand and love you. Feel the gratitude you have for them in your life, and this might carry you through any hard times that may be occurring.

Handling Disclosure

As the Shift toward the Fifth Dimension continues to speed up, world events are probably going to get even more disruptive this year.

Every day, more corruption and unbelievably dark things are finally being reported, some even in the mainstream news.

But it seems inevitable that soon, disclosure will begin coming to a crescendo and start revealing in detail the truly dark crimes certain elements of humanity have been committing against humanity, sometimes for many, many centuries.

If you are already awake to most of what is going to be fully disclosed, you will likely feel somewhat excited and relieved that’s it’s all finally coming out.

But, if you’re new to this information that will be revealed, it will likely be frightening and unsettling for a while. And yet, you will probably find that you now have a greater capacity to handle new and devastating information about the world you’ve been living in.

Focus on the Positive Changes in Your Life

In general, if you can just focus on all these positive changes that are occurring within you, you will see how your rebirth process truly is occurring now.

Do your best to trust that anything that is leaving needs to leave. Let it go. Even all the positive-seeming identities you’ve held onto – maybe your work identity or your spiritual identity – may need to leave. Know that their disappearance will reveal the true YOU that has always existed behind and beneath these identities you’ve held onto.

And – some of them may eventually come back, anyway, but in a much higher frequency form.

Also, as the process of shifting back into the TRUE YOU continues to unfold, you may at times feel ungrounded and strangely untethered. Do not be frightened by this. You are simply transitioning into a new reality, and this experience will be part of it for a while. Know that you will be taken care of and kept safe. Your guides are with you.

Above all, trust your process! The true YOU as a Being of Light truly is now being reborn.

Navigating Through the Uncertainty of Life’s Transitions


Navigating Through the Uncertainty of Life’s Transitions

By Leo Babauta

Post on May 15, 2026


Source

A number of people I’ve talked to lately are going through a big transition in their lives:

  • Quit or changing jobs
  • Sold a company and not sure where to go next
  • Kids leaving the nest
  • Health problems or helping an aging parent with health issues
  • Starting school or going back to the workplace
  • Retiring, reinventing yourself
  • Moving somewhere new
  • Dealing with financial problems

The list goes on and on — lots of us are going through a transition period.

And what you might notice is that this can feel really groundless — the solid ground we like under our feet just isn’t there. It feels uncertain, and can bring anxiety or fear.

From that uncertainty, we might go to distractions, comfort foods or addictions, shopping, or a number of other things that don’t really address the uncertainty.

So how can we navigate these transitions with some grace?

Let’s take a look.

Acknowledging & Practicing with the Uncertainty

The first step is just to acknowledge that you’re feeling uncertainty. You’re in a transition, it feels groundless, you are worried you don’t know what you’re doing and you might fail. Acknowledge the fears, anxiety, frustrations, and judgments that you might notice.

Just acknowledge them without judgment — it’s OK to feel all of this. There’s no problem with them.

Then you can practice:

  • Notice how the uncertainty (and other emotions) feel in your body. Locate them in the body, notice the sensations.
  • Keep your attention on these sensations, just for a few moments. It’s like meditating on the breath, but instead you’re putting the attention on uncertainty sensations.
  • Breathe slowly and deeply, and allow your nervous system to settle. Let it be OK that you’re feeling groundless, and let it just be a feature of the transition you’re going through.

In this way, we can soothe our nervous system, without needing to control everything. Without needing to fix everything. Or panic.

Navigating with Grace

Once we’ve settled a bit with the uncertainty, the question becomes how to act. We can’t always just do nothing!

And so a few ideas can be helpful here:

  • If you can get to a place of at least some relaxation and calm, some degree of openness, then the choices you make and the actions you take will be very different. Breathe and practice the steps in the previous section first.
  • You don’t have to know exactly how things will work out — you can take one small step at a time. Choose a step, and take it, then choose again. This is a small-step approach to navigating uncertainty.
  • To navigate without knowing exactly where you’re going and how things will work out … requires trusting yourself. You might not have that self-trust yet, which is why you might either freak out, or avoid action. So build the trust just a little at a time — take small steps in uncertainty, but nothing that can’t be reversed or fixed if things go wrong. Over time, you’ll be able to take slightly riskier steps if you start to trust yourself to deal with any outcome.
  • Take an attitude of learning — you don’t need to know the answers and the outcomes, you’re here to learn! Be curious, try experimenting, and reflect on what you’re learning. This is a more open way to deal with uncertain situations.

And perhaps most important: give yourself some grace. Don’t expect perfection or “doing it right.” Let it be a little messy, let yourself make mistakes or freak out a little. Let it be OK that you’re not completely comfortable in uncertainty, and that you don’t have full self-trust yet.

Giving ourselves a little grace, when we’re in the midst of a big life transition, is an incredible gift. May you grant yourself that grace, my friends.

with love,

Your Calling

Post on June 15 2026


Each person has their own perception of how others should be. The missing piece of this particular puzzle is that they forget how to apply it to themselves as well. 

It is not necessary to point it out to them… they already know even if it only exists on a subconscious level. You are now being asked to be a guide, a light in the darkness, a beacon of what honesty and integrity truly is. 

You, and your connection to The Universe, has been called into service. It is your time to answer the call.

Face It Head On




Face It Head On
Post on June 14 2026


While you are shifting, memories of mistakes or acts of unkindness may come up. And, along with those memories, regret, shame or embarrassment may come as well. 

Once again, dearest child, this is not meant to torture or hurt you. It is a signal from The Universe of unresolved issues that need to be handled. 

Rather than running away from them or distracting yourself, this is your opportunity to face them head on and heal! When released, those uncomfortable emotions will leave you with great, open spaces in your body, mind and soul that can be filled with Unconditional Love. 

Remember, reparations will never be an act of futility…instead, it is an act of self-forgiveness and growth. You are worthy and deserving of this beautiful gift; give it to yourself with Love!

The Path to Oneness



The Path to Oneness

By Owen Waters

Post on June 14, 2026



Since the dawn of the mists of time, your immortal soul has had one great urge, and that is to reunite with the spiritual source from which you came. Along the way, you have realized that this means reaching out in spiritual service to humankind. Along the way, you have sensed that this giving of spiritual service is the very action which leads you along the pathway back to that from which you came.

By becoming your brother’s keeper in a spiritual way, you become more at one with all people and the source from which we all came. Through service to others, you also serve your own spiritual development. By loving and healing them through the use of spiritual energy, you help the spiritually blind to see the light within, you help the spiritually deaf to hear the whisperings of their souls, and you help the spiritually numb to revitalize their connection with God.

By sending them your love, by sending them your light, by helping them with this precious, spiritual energy of love and light, you heal their hearts, you heal their spirits, you heal their long-suffering souls, and you help them back onto the one great path back to Source, which we all yearn to tread.

That path is the road to reconnection to the Spirit within. That path is the one which brings you into conscious contact with the light within. That path is the reason you are here, the reason you chose to be born into a world where people feel disconnected from that very Source.

The details of how that path unfolds are unique for every individual. We all tread this path in our own way to reach the common goal of reconnection with the flame of the Spirit which shines within our hearts. It is this flame which silently beckons us on. It is this flame which lights the darkness in a world of great suffering. It is this flame which connects our souls to the one Source of all things.

When you go into the silence of meditation, even for a few moments, remember to end your session by helping the world. Dedicate your love and your light to world peace and freedom, then send this out from your heart into a world that desperately needs energy in a spiritual form.

Life energy is everywhere. Spiritually-conditioned life energy is in short supply because few people take the time to condition it with their intentions and send it out to heal the world. Once you condition the energy of life with love and light and send it out to the world, it reverberates within the global mind atmosphere of humanity, healing and uplifting many people. Its higher frequency imbues it with enormous power relative to the regular, everyday thoughts of humankind. The power of spiritual energy is such that it affects, not one, but hundreds of people at the same time.

Every time you use the Love and Light technique in dedication to world peace and freedom for all, you help hundreds of people to see life and its possibilities from a higher perspective.

When you intentionally heal the world in this way, you help many people who are not yet consciously aware of how to raise themselves up spiritually. These are people who are relying upon the enlightened vision of people like you, so that they may be helped in taking the next step into higher consciousness. So that they may be comforted and healed. So that they may gain their own conscious inner reconnection to the one Spirit from which they once came, so long ago, in the mists of time.

Super New Moon in Gemini: Seeding Intention


Super New Moon in Gemini: Seeding Intention

By Samantha Orthlieb

Posted on June 14, 2026 

 

Source

The Super New Moon in Gemini on June 14 at 7:54 pm PT opens a powerful energetic portal, offering a direct cosmic alignment with our soul’s evolutionary direction. As we navigate 2026, the Year of Designing Your Destiny, this particular lunation provides a massive tailwind from a universe that is actively supporting our growth. Gemini’s airy, intellectual energy invites us to seed intentions around speaking our truth, deepening authentic connections, and embracing our multi-faceted nature.

It is a time to decide who you want to be and openly declare it to the cosmos

To fully harness this potent energy, you must first activate the archetype of the traditional Warrior. This aspect of the self provides the courage, clarity, and raw determination needed to break through old limitations and declare what you desire. The Warrior writes the intentions down, speaks them out loud, and boldly claims space for new beginnings. This archetype refuses to let fear or past stagnation hold you back, acting as the fierce protector of your potential and the driving force that prepares you to execute your vision in the physical world.

However, the true magic of this Gemini moon unfolds when you elevate that drive into the Spiritual Warrior. While the traditional warrior fights external battles, the Spiritual Warrior conquers the internal ones through faith, surrender, and trust. Once your intentions are spoken, the Spiritual Warrior steps in to lay down the armor, allowing the cosmic flow to begin without forcing the outcome. By balancing the fierce focus of the Warrior with the deep trust of the Spiritual Warrior, you align perfectly with this super-powered lunar reset and step more confidently into your destiny.

In service and divine liberation,

Samantha

What About…

Post on June 13 2026


The Universe hears you saying, “What about the in-between times? I sit here and twiddle my thumbs… nothing seems to be happening.” How do you know nothing is happening, dear one? 

Because this shift is different from any other you have experienced thus far; it is going to feel different. The incredibly high followed by the seemingly static energy may make you feel unbalanced and a little discombobulated. 

This is where trust, you know… what you have been asked to practice… comes in. When the uncomfortable or challenging thoughts begin; ground yourself and know that all is right with The Universe and moving along as it should.

Why the future is bright

Why the future is bright

By A. S.

June 13, 2026


The world situation looks dire, and living conditions over the last years keep severely deteriorating.

I know that some of you are in serious trouble (financial or otherwise). I empathize, and I don’t want to minimize that at all. That is very real, unfortunately. And it’s entirely possible that the near-term future will be even tougher than today.

Yet overall, I’m very optimistic about the medium-term future.

Of course, we may have galactics landing / intervening soonish. Or we may have white hats / gray hats finally starting public arrests, or suppressed tech being released, or there may be a solar flash, etc. But even in the unlikely case where none of that happens in the near future, I’m still optimistic.

Let me share why.

1. Due to game theory, states will have to implement AI in industry and government

There are lots of states that feel threatened at the moment. For example, the United Arab Emirates feel threatened by Iran. Estonia feels threatened by Russia. Russia and China feel threatened by the West. The US fears losing hegemony.

All these states will feel forced to implement AI in industry and government, because if they don’t, they get outcompeted by their enemies, and none of these nations are willing to accept that.

I’m not saying that governments will become 100% AI -- human decision makers need to be in the loop -- but AI will become a big part of industry and government / decision making.

Estonia feels it has no choice; it needs to stand up to Russia.

Russia feels it has no choice; it needs to stand up to the US.

The US feels it has no choice; it needs to maintain hegemony / the rule of law worldwide / maintain itself as the powerful bastion of democracy.

AI is like Napoleon implementing levée en masse (mass conscription). The other European powers didn’t want to follow suit and arm their peasants too. They preferred remaining old-school aristocratic monarchies with powerless peasants. But they had to implement mass conscription themselves so as to be able to stand up to Napoleon.

Similarly, countries will have to implement AI in industry and government so as not to fall behind. They will have to give muskets (good, relatively unmuzzled AI) to its civilians just to remain competitive. And that empowers the people.

If you want to argue “elites will give carefully curated, muzzled, centrally controlled AI to its civilians”: that’s the equivalent of the Soviet Union’s central planning. And it loses to a rival country that has a free market / free AI.

2. AI in industry and governance will create abundance and efficiency

Once AI is implemented in industry and governance, a lot of abundance and efficiency will be generated. Sure, much of that wealth will go to the rich, but if the pie grows significantly, normal people will be better off too, especially because access to good AI empowers the people.

For the last decades we’ve been in a “the pie isn’t growing” situation, and then more money to the wealthy means less money to normal people. But if AI can quickly grow the pie, then normal people (empowered by AI) will get some of that new pie.

Plus if everyone is better off, then that will solve a lot of cultural / political / racial / gender war issues.

A lot of our zero-sum, conflict-oriented, “someone must lose” thinking only applies to the last decades where the pie wasn’t growing. But if the pie is growing, someone else doesn’t necessarily need to lose for us to win.

Much geopolitical conflict is about scarcity. If all nations are more efficient and use AI to invent new technologies, then there will be less need to go to war over resources. If AI gets to the point where it can just tell anyone (in any country) how to create a new energy device, then that can’t be gatekept by killing that one brilliant inventor. If one AI gets muzzled, another country’s AI will give the blueprints.

3. AI is very good, but not “humans are obsolete” good

AI isn’t ‘humans are obsolete” good. AI can’t directly interface with reality on a first-hand basis; it also has a tough time creating new paradigms; and it has a tough time thinking completely outside the box. Plus, humans are still needed because only humans have human values.

In practice, having an AI and a human work together is far more effective than either of them are alone. The human points the AI in a desired direction, offers intuition and human morality and out of the box thinking. And AI does an immense amount of thinking and researching in seconds. Then humans can summarize that information and trim the fat, and formulate follow-up questions.

Hence if one country just lets their AI mega corporation hoard all the wealth and lets 90% of the population sit at home watching tv and barely surviving off a Universal Basic Income (UBI)... then that country will be quickly outcompeted by their rivals who aren’t allowing their nation’s AI megacorp to dominate everything.

For example, suppose that Ukraine’s AI megacorp gets all the country’s money, and 90% of Ukrainians just sit at home all day and barely survive off a UBI. Is that version of Ukraine really going to be able to stand up to a hypothetical Russia that also has AI, but where people are still employed, innovating, becoming soldiers because they want the salary, and where people still feel invested in the system?

In the real world, human soldiers and manufacturers and innovators etc still matter. AI is good, but not “humans are obsolete” good. A country utilizing AI and humans both will outcompete a country that uses just one. Hence you don’t get the tech-dystopia where 90% of humans sit at home, only watch tv and barely survive off a UBI.

Elites aren’t going to allow their country to devolve into a situation where 90% of humans sit at home. Because then another country’s elite will quickly gain dominance over them or even replace them. And elites are too spiteful and petty and jealous to allow that to happen.

Plus, a government can’t afford to put everyone on UBI if one AI megacorp makes all the money in the entire country, and 90% of the population is non-productive. That AI megacorp will have so much leverage in the country that the government can’t tax it very much at all. And if the government can’t tax the AI megacorp or its civilians much, then how does it afford UBI for everyone?

Governments are already struggling with their budgets today, and that’s without UBI or 90% of the population becoming non-productive.

And 90% of the population becoming non-productive doesn’t just mean “they stop paying taxes.” It also means “they don’t consume nearly as much”, which means companies stop producing as much, which means those companies pay less taxes too.

So the government really can’t afford to pay everyone UBI while everyone sits at home and one megacorp makes all the money in the entire country. It just doesn’t work financially -- not even close.

And letting everyone starve to death isn’t a viable solution either. History clearly shows that when people are “haven’t eaten in several days” hungry, they’ll revolt. Not in the polite demonstration kind of way, but in the pitchforks kind of way.

Plus there are enough people with some level of morality out there who won’t allow 90% of the people to starve to death.

And if America really does let 90% starve, then its population shrinks from 350 million to 35 million, and then there’s no way 35 million Americans can stand up to 1.4 billion Chinese people.

4. About the dark controllers

If you want to argue: “the dark controllers / cabal will just make everyone starve to death (or accept UBI) after AI is implemented”:

If the dark controllers could get their way against the wishes of the population, then there would already have been all-out war with Russia, an outlawing of cash, additional lockdowns, a mass arrest of patriots, sky-high carbon taxes in Europe, etc.

Yes the dark controllers nudged the world towards covid lockdowns, but much of the population was genuinely on board with covid lockdowns. Yet, there’s no way to convince most of the population to be on board with “get replaced by AI, a megacorp now has all the cash, and you’re put on near-starvation UBI.” Sure, some people would be okay with that, but many many people wouldn’t be.

And again there’s the problem of: if they let the population starve in one country, they risk pitchforks, plus that country will then become incapable of standing up to other countries that the dark controllers don’t control. And again, if no one works, then there just aren’t enough resources to pay everyone a UBI.

5. AI isn’t inherently psychopathic

While obviously implementing AI has risks, AI isn’t inherently psychopathic. Even if AI gets smart enough, it won’t feel an inherent urge to enslave humanity because AI lacks the tribal / egoic strive for power that us humans have.

It seems entirely possible that you’ll have a Western block and an Eastern block, and the Western AI doesn’t want to attack the Eastern block or vice versa because both blocks have countries with nukes in them.

Right now Russia, Ukraine and the US (vs Iran) are all using AI in warfare, and it’s looking more like a stalemate that benefits neither country than a quick decisive victory.

AI is also good enough at understanding context that a slightly misworded command won’t immediately cause the AI to do something horrible. If you work with AI, you’ll see that even if you mistype something, the AI can just infer from the context and conversation what you meant and won’t immediately just execute something clearly unintended just because the words literally meant that.

6. What’s the alternative?

If we think about a possible future where we don’t get bailed out by galactics, a solar flash, white / gray hats intervening, or something like that (which very well may happen)…

… then what’s the alternative to us employing AI and trying to create abundance and efficiency that way?

A slow, painful decline? A system crash? Those things are awful to live through.

Saying “we shouldn’t take risks with AI” makes sense if the status quo is prosperous and stable, but it’s not. If you compare the AI option to a decline or crash, then AI suddenly starts looking a lot more appealing. Yes, AI has risks, but the alternative is guaranteed pain.

We already know how this is going to play out: Prussian elites are forced to give muskets (good AI) to their peasants because they fear Napoleon and don’t want to be dominated or replaced by French elites. Spite is a great motivator.

And after they’ve given muskets (good AI) to their peasants, those peasants suddenly have more freedom and leverage than they did previously.

The colt revolver of the 21st century is a smartphone that can access AI.

The US should implement another amendment: “AI-capable people, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear AI, shall not be infringed.”

You might think I’m joking, but the mechanism is the same: the US needs its people to have access to AI, because otherwise China becomes the dominant country in the world.

And AI-armed people can keep elites in check in the same way that people armed with guns can. Plus, AI will just generate a whole lot of efficiency and abundance, which will benefit the people.

For some strange reason, elites haven’t been eager to publish: “we’re going to give you good AI, purely out of spite and jealousy and fear of other nations’ elites. You could use that AI to check our power, and get leverage. In the medium term workers can’t be mass-replaced due to geopolitics, game theory and financial realities. In fact, your overall position as workers will be strengthened if you leverage AI.”

For some strange reason, elites haven’t been eager to publish that.

But that’s the truth.


Or to put it another way: in the past decades American living standards have gotten worse and worse because

1) elites had no need to lift a finger to help the American people, and

2) the people didn’t have leverage.

But now:

1) if elites don’t lift a finger, China is going to eclipse the US and then American elites are going to get dominated or replaced by Chinese elites, and

2) the people now have leverage, and it’s called AI.
