Are the #US on a road to a #NewCivilWar or to a resolution of #SystemicRacism?

Truthful history education in the #US would be quintessential, yes, but very hard, because the US are built as a #SlaverNation right from the start, as film maker #MatthewCooke brilliantly argues in the episode "Slaver Nation" of his #podcast, #AmericanOriginStories:

#Slavery' s been an integral part since its founding, woven into the very fabric of all #US nation-building for centuries, not just the, say..

"The Next Civil War

Dispatches from the American Future

By Stephen Marche

About The Book

“Should be required reading for anyone interested in preserving our 246-year experiment in self-government.” —The New York Times Book Review * “Well researched and eloquently presented.” —The Atlantic * “Delivers Cormac McCarthy-worthy drama; while the nonfictional asides imbue that drama with the authority of documentary.” —The New York Times Book Review

A celebrated journalist takes a fiercely divided America and imagines five chilling scenarios that lead to its collapse, based on in-depth interviews with experts of all kinds.

The United States is coming to an end. The only question is how."

Combining the new solar-panel-above fields method* with ancient raised-field #WaruWaru #farming #technology could facilitate #WaterConservation and management, raise yields, reduce #fertilizer concentration, and reduce #erosion.

The solution to our current #drought problems in many areas might have been with us for 2,300 years at least, probably first developed by the #Tiahuanaco culture of the #Andean...

The Night Screams
The night screams,
the thoughts roar, deafening the night,
Swept away by the torrent of emotions,
plunged down the thundering cataract of despair.
Dead silence now encompasses everything.
And even though the heart screams with bursting lungs,
Your ears cannot hear it anymore,
because you have been carried onwards like driftwood.
My hand could not hold onto yours any longer,
because you let go of it,
bereft of the breath that I once again wanted to instill you with.
The River of Time inexorably sweeps you away.
I open my mouth to scream,
but no sound leaves my lips,
because one single sound could be like salt into your torn-open wounds.
And thus, I swallow the sounds again.
The sounds feel like grains of salt with razor-sharp edges,
each sip carving my throat from the inside.
And yet, there is no blood, 
because the heart has lost its rhythm.
The salt in my eyes and the salt bags of my pent-up words,
turn into acid in my body.
These silent words I sacrifice,
so that your wounds may heal and close.
They are my gift to you.

#ArtificialGeneralIntelligence (#AGI) has a 10% probability of causing an Extinction Level Event for humanity (1)

Thanks for this additional piece of information, Simon.

It reminded me that I had wanted to add a word in my toot: indelibly.

As any #SciFi aficionado will tell you:
there should be a built-in self-destruct mechanism when tampering with these Laws or copying or moving the #AI to another system.

Another classic movie comes to mind in this respect, #Wargames...
