And I don't even know much of these stuff is related to Ruby Central Is Not Behaving in Good Faith. Not a good sign for an article if it's for showing evidence... (maybe it's not
I wish I can see more summary, state facts mostly (with sources even they might not be reliable but better than just guessing without source)
This is exactly the "the idea is so good that it has to be forced" meme
The ruling group think they are enlighten more than everyone else and justified to use force/coercion to apply their will on other people (or just an excuse/scam to abuse power)
That's literally the moral justification for the Thiel/Musk/Yarvin Dark Enlightenment, and the basis of cult dynamics in general.
The idea actually works if, and only if, the ruling group has empathy for the population as a whole. Which - in spite of anti-government propaganda in the US - is at least partially possible.
It's catastrophic when the ruling ethic is narcissism and supremacism.
I agree with your opinion on US/EU etc. as they have more leftism/collectivism/socialism growing. But I don't understand "One thing is true: at the moment their change is towards more democracy and personal rights" part and maybe you can provide more explanations/examples/sources/whatever?
That censorship is not coming fromt "leftism/collectivism/socialism", whatever that is. Unionization in the west is at its lowest point in many decades.
Obviously and overwhelmingly left leaning. You can't be pro-business and pro-unions, and these values are core to the right and the left respectively. I feel like I'm stating the most obvious facts here.
Interesting. I see both sides representing the interests of the corporations that fund their campaigns. Both advertise that they are for the working class. Neither actually is.
If by "both sides" you mean american democrats and republicans, sure. Although republicans are much worse for the working class than the democrats. Both are at the heels of capital, one side is just that much more overt and aggressive about it.
In the rest of the world though, there are actual leftist movements who are genuinely standing for the working class. But they don't get much power these days, and things are mostly going backwards for worker's rights globally.
One thing is sure though, it's that any progress workers enjoyed in the past didn't come from the right. Paid leave, minimum wage, healthcare, retirement... it all came from the left.
Not sure about the rest of the world, civil rights and OSHA are counter examples to the "all came from the left" claim in the US. Anyway, better not reply, political discussion isn't allowed here.
Can artificial intelligence truly become wise?
In this landmark lecture, John Vervaeke explores the future of AI through a lens few dare to examine: the limits of intelligence itself. He unpacks the critical differences between intelligence, rationality, reasonableness, and wisdom—terms often used interchangeably in discussions around AGI. Drawing from decades of research in cognitive science and philosophy, John argues that while large language models like ChatGPT demonstrate forms of generalized intelligence, they fundamentally lack core elements of human cognition: embodiment, caring, and participatory knowing.
By distinguishing between propositional, procedural, perspectival, and participatory knowing, he reveals why the current paradigm of AI is not equipped to generate consciousness, agency, or true understanding. This lecture also serves as a moral call to action: if we want wise machines, we must first become wiser ourselves.

I would explicitly go for private search instead of LLM
I do translations of long podcasts from time to time and it's never accurate and often produces hallucination(I know enough in both languages just using LLM to speed up
