Sunday Nights Radio, or SNR because it’s cooler the SNL, dives into many topics that take you away from Severed Conscience and doom scrolling. This week was no different. We looked at the mis-use of the Supremacy Clause and how it’s misinterpretation has also led to a faux concept of judicial supremacy. Madison, Hamilton and others warned us of it. Lysander Spooner also described what really happens when we wait for a Ken Paxton or other Attorney Generals to take the federal government to court and beg them to adjudicate on the extent of their own power. We follow unconstitutional laws as those they are indeed constitutional. That’s not liberty and constraint of a large, centralized federal government. That’s quite the opposite and we should consider why we are shocked at constant expansion of the most powerful government on the face of the planet. A powerful government does not necessitate a strong people.
We also talked about Henry Kissinger’s The Age of AI, and compared the insights it offers to
phenomenal Dark Aeon. As I said, while I read Kissinger’s book my mind narrates it to me in his gravelly voice, and it is like a dry policy wonk version of Future Shock, or a tamer The Great Reset where they told Yuval Harari that Amazon dropped a packed out front, then locked the door behind him. That said, the whiffs of technocratic control through out. And it walks a fine line to maintain the wonder of non-human forms of logic, despite that phrase being quite dumb/ The Age of AI will be a recurring topic, because I see so many recommend it yet it seems it’s as though Kissinger has the Steve Jobs turtleneck on as his reads it to me.Despite my sarcasm here, Sunday Nights Radio goes in depth. It’s a great way to clear your head before you jump into the fray of the week.

No Treason
I want to thank Dave Wise (Neoteric Wood Art) for requesting this topic. It proved to be thought provoking and fun.
Oligarchs and technocrats like Kissinger enjoy their power because of centralization. If we have embraced liberty and the Constitution has enshrined that freedom, there are several questions we, as good stewards of our own liberty, need to ask. Lysander Spooner asked those questions. At times he echoes Madison, but ultimately he raised some uncomfortable and thought provoking issues.
Viva Aviato!
The protests in support of Hamas organizations which have included the occupation and destruction of Columbia University property, threats of violence against Jewish students has escalated with the occupation of Trump Towers. This was in response to the ICE detaining Muhammad Khalil and a more aggressive response by the State Department.
The Bro-ligarchs (hat tip to
) have exceeded the absurdities surpassing what Mike Judge could conjure in his HBO series Silicon Valley. But when you heed the warnings of more sober AI and technology pioneers such as Jaron Lanier or Michael Woolbridge from Oxford, you see that the silly metaphors remove our sense of agency.It's Not OpenAI's Sputnik Moment, It's Their Theranos / Elizabeth Holmes Moment
Remember that weirdo woman in the black turtleneck who spoke in clearly affected yet artificially deep tones while staring at you with unblinking eyes? Her hair was always all messed up because she was working all night at the lab and didn’t have time to shower before the interview. Elizabeth Holmes, touted as the next Steve Jobs because, well, the C…
Black turtle necks, obtuse language with cultish overtones, and crisis is what is behind Stargate and OpenAI’s tenuous position with it’s near monopoly. Elizabeth Holmes set up scam that fooled George Schultz, the Clintons and others. OpenAI NEEDS a monopoly to maintain market share, and Deep Seek, while a security concern for personal digital security, does illustrate how we lulled into thinking the TechBros are integral to national security.
Rejecting The Watchmakers
Intellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of a sense of victimhood.
Kissinger is from a long line of technocrats who assume an air of authority in order to direct our lives. What is it that conditioned us to accept authority crafted by scientific management so readily, and what do we mean by the Watchmakers? Because artists copy yet masters steal shamelessly, I am stealing the Watchmaker theme from Clockwork Angels, a steampunk novel by Kevin J Anderson and Neil Peart. The novel centers around a young man who goes on a quest to defy the Watchmaker, the architect of a steam engine based society run with complete precision.
