“Truth Is Antisemitism. Protest Is Terrorism. Dissent Is Russian Propaganda”

by Caitlin Johnstone in Notes From The Edge Of The Imperial Matrix on Substack

#Truth is #antisemitism.

#Protest is #terrorism.

#Dissent is #Russian #propaganda.

#Critical #thinking is #misinformation.

#War is #peace.

#Freedom is #slavery.

#Ignorance is #strength.

„Prime Minister Netanyahu welcomed Mitsotakis by calling him a “good friend,” and added that ties between the two countries “are constantly increasing.” “I know of many Israelis who are going to Greece, investing in Greece, which is a vote of confidence,” he added.“

In other words, Generative AI and LLMs lack a sound epistemology and that's very problematic...:

"Bullshit and generative AI are not the same. They are similar, however, in the sense that both mix true, false, and ambiguous statements in ways that make it difficult or impossible to distinguish which is which. ChatGPT has been designed to sound convincing, whether right or wrong. As such, current AI is more about rhetoric and persuasiveness than about truth. Current AI is therefore closer to bullshit than it is to truth. This is a problem because it means that AI will produce faulty and ignorant results, even if unintentionally.
(...)
Judging by the available evidence, current AI – which is generative AI based on large language models – entails artificial ignorance more than artificial intelligence. That needs to change for AI to become a trusted and effective tool in science, technology, policy, and management. AI needs criteria for what truth is and what gets to count as truth. It is not enough to sound right, like current AI does. You need to be right. And to be right, you need to know the truth about things, like AI does not. This is a core problem with today's AI: it is surprisingly bad at distinguishing between truth and untruth – exactly like bullshit – producing artificial ignorance as much as artificial intelligence with little ability to discriminate between the two.
(...)
Nevertheless, the perhaps most fundamental question we can ask of AI is that if it succeeds in getting better than humans, as already happens in some areas, like playing AlphaZero, would that represent the advancement of knowledge, even when humans do not understand how the AI works, which is typical? Or would it represent knowledge receding from humans? If the latter, is that desirable and can we afford it?"

He said he loved ignorant people ;

“ The Institute of Museum and Library Services has placed its entire staff on administrative leave.

The IMLS is a relatively small federal agency, with around 70 employees, that awards grant funding to museums and libraries across the country.” https://www.npr.org/2025/03/31/nx-s1-5334415/doge-institute-of-museum-and-library-services

When all the controversies about #transgender women using public bathrooms began several years ago, I knew #cisgender women would also get targeted.

Every day, inevitably, we confront the limits of our knowledge. Ignorance, in itself, simply means “not knowing.” What turns it into “the mother of all evils,” to quote Plato, is the way we manifest it.

Labour MPs clearly despise experts as much as the Conservatives. How much do they know about the consequences of what they are voting on? Or do they really care? I suspect a mixture of the two.

#Ivermectin was found to help #COVID patients...

patients with parasites

#Ignorance spread "the cure" without the whole picture

Likewise, #VitaminA was found to help #Measles patients...

patients with vitamin A deficiency

And so, ignorance once again:

"West #Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as #medical #disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak"

People think they know better than #scientists and #doctors, and harm themselves and their children

Are you ever jealous of the ignorant?

Today is one of those days that having equal amounts of information and empathy are incredibly painful.

As they say...

On March 21, 1925, Tennessee Gov. Austin Peay signed the Butler Act, a bill that banned the teaching of evolution in public schools. “Probably the law will never be applied,” Peay said, defending his decision. “It may not be sufficiently definite to permit any specific application or enforcement. Nobody believes that it is going to be an active statute.” Six weeks later, high school teacher John T. Scopes was charged with violating the law.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
