Repaying the trust of the people

Alred C. Frett

Clinging to Old Habits or Accepting Your Evolution:

Beware the Ides of March… We are all in deep trouble, and Self-sacrifice and the Failure to love ourselves are no solution… You heard this before, but still remain convinced that the Enemy will save you… Fact is, while Slaves worked to death in building America, the Masters slept… Even after slavery, we re-shackled ourselves to the same unfair System, and in the process, lost our self-worth and ambition.

We remain under the threats and promises of AI and Robotics, but too often we blame our self-induced handicaps on things we cannot change, while ignoring those that we can... As a result, we limit ourselves to Yesterday’s problems instead of applying tomorrow’s solutions.
