Thanks for these links, they articulate a lot of what I've been feeling about what's happening but hadn't been able to quite express. It's as if humanity is being challenged by our own creation, to clarify what it is that makes us human, to question the mechanization of society, and to struggle against being domesticated by those wield this new technology.

you're welcome, at my second NoKings march, I walked next to a woman and we chatted about these things, she said a most profound thing to me

> Ai forces all humans to reflect on what it means to be human - at the same time

If you are interested in more links, especially about ideas for how we got into this mess and what we might do economically and politically to find a better way forward for all humans

Brilliant, those links are right up my alley. The more I engage with the transformation that society is going through, the good and the bad, the more I'm pulled towards action, as in becoming an activist in the most positive meaning. I've seen too much, I've learned too much not to do something about the situation.

The world needs everyone to stand up and work on making it better, otherwise there are corrupt forces of immense resources that are shaping the future of our society from "above", in ways that are more dystopian than we can imagine. Thanks for the inspiration.

		Best thing I did this year was to leave social media and join my local Indivisible. And also get into zine making. Glad to hear you are moving to positive action too!
