When AI and robotics rule the new world, politicians will be the laggards, stuck in the mud of mundane politics

 The brave new world is all about high tech, not chicken farms and soya bean farmers. The old world of ICE automobiles, of Excel and Spreadsheet, obscene prices of branded goods, labour unions, are slipping away rapidly. The factories of the future are here, run by AI and robotics, with barely any need for human labour. The path to progress and developments is science and technology, a futuristic world that will be unrecognisable in 20 or 30 years from now. Money and wealth will not be made from basic industries like food and drinks. They are the essentials, but will not make any big impact in the future world of tomorrow. How many packs of nasis lemak or chicken rice must be sold for the price of a piece of tiny high end chips? $3 a pack versus $100k a chip!

The politicians of today will still be the politicians of tomorrow, stuck in their silly world of politicking, preying on the basic instincts of hillbilly and redneck voters and their anachronistic values, thinking and way of life. The bickering, chest thumping and blood curling speeches to incite and churn the emotions of voters will continue to be the playbook of politicians. Politics and politicians will continue to live in their own fictional world, being left behind by the technological changes they cannot fathom and grasp and to adapt to. But they will always be surrounded by equally backward hillbillies and rednecks that believe in the magic of politicians' words and promises, to bring food on the table, to make their lives better, without the need to work for them, and to keep up with technologies and the sciences.

The real world will move on, divided between a brand of new people, engrossed and embedded in AI and new technologies and thriving in their sci fi world, versus the hillbillies, rednecks and the unproductive and outdated politicians that think the world is still the same old world, and politics is the only way to go forward to be rich and to prosper with speeches but doing nothing productive.

The divergence of politics from science and technology is not just the privilege of America, but is happening all over the world, with uneducated, unsophisticated and illiterate politicians in science and technology still thinking they are the leaders, the ones to lead their countries and people into the brave new futuristic world without anything new to offer. The emptiness in the head of antiquated politicians cannot match the data power of machines, AI and robotics and would likely to look silly and sillier everyday, and likely to be replaced by machines and humanoids.

Is there still a place for unproductive, unprogressive politicians that thrived on agitating the emotions of the masses but unable to offer them better solutions in the futuristic world with the masses continuing to look for freebies and handouts that these politicians cannot offer without embracing science and technology for real economic dividends, and clueless about science and technology?

The politicians will still think they can take from the hardworking citizens to give to their followers, leeches on the efforts of others, taking a free ride and can live well, without contributing or working for their own wellbeing, that doing the bare minimum will be good enough to survive and live well, like being gig and platform workers. Even oil rich countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE know that they have to continuously create wealth, generate wealth for their people, not sitting on their fat asses and demand to be paid for themselves and their followers like in many third world countries.

Trump is a good example of outdated politicians who believes in taking anything he wants without working for it. Just take by political power and military might. The victims will not resist as they do not have the will and military might to resist or to fight back. Really? The world of the past and the present, when ignoramus politicians sit on top of the pile, talking but not producing, and having the biggest bite of the cherry will not necessarily stay the same way in the future.

Shangri La Dialogue - For who, against who?

It is not just widespread views that the dialogue is to give a platform to the USA to control the agenda. It is the agenda to allow the USA to create more fear and unease in the minds of those 'dull of mind' who attended, brainwashing them to buy into the fear of China. The Chinese know that attending it is of no value. It is just a 'sham' dialogue.

I could not help going over what Pete Hegseth, the drunkard, just said that allies of the USA must spend to take care of their own security. For once I do agree with his slip of the tongue-in-cheek honest revelation.

The Gulf countries had been spending their defense budget leveraging on the USA to defend them, from I do not know who, probably Israel, before the war against Iran, but all that spending has gone into a black hole without the benefits to show. So, I would also say that the Gulf countries must rightly take care of their own defense matters, rather than depend on the USA. Am I right after witnessing what happened over the last three months. I think the message that Pete Hegseth gave, in a moment of drunkard-ness, has opened a can of worms.

The Europeans are also thinking of setting up their own defense architecture instead of being held hostage by the USA, harping all the time to increase their defense spending. All that spending by Europe is just to promote and upkeep the interest of the USA in Europe. Russia is the only target and all the fearmongering fabricated by the USA in Europe is all centered on Russia, while in East Asia, the propaganda of fear is centered all on China. The Warsaw Pact countries have already been disbanded long ago, but NATO is still existing to carry on the USA war mongering show.

ASEAN must also wake up, look around, and find out whether the threat comes from China or the USA.

Out of 193 countries around the world, I would have expected more than 47 countries to attend the Shamgrila Die-lock. I think, just like China, they have already seen the woods for the trees. That tells me it is a dying platform of no consequence to them.

China starts to stop western theft of its technology and talents

It has been reported that China is now not allowing talents in AI and semiconductors from moving to work in other countries, knowing that some countries are targeting them for their working knowledge gained in China.

China is making all effort to protect its lead in many sectors and is not in the mood to allow any transfer of its many cutting-edge and sought-after technologies especially in its EVs, batteries, and high-speed rail manufacturing sectors.

China's many inventions in the past have gone to benefit many others, among which are its gunpowder invention, the compass, the seismograph, paper making and printing. Gunpowder enabled others to invent rockets for space travel and sadly making more and more offensive weapons for killing people, the compass enabled marine navigation to flourish, paper and printing provided the tools for dissemination of knowledge and the rapid expansion of education. All have benefitted mankind one way or another by being shared.

Now China is taking a leaf from the USA and the West, using its National Security issue to stop the transfer of technology. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Sorry for saying this again and again.

Demonising China no longer works. The whole world has lost trust in the American terrorist regime led by a lunatic scum

Trust me, there will be more fabrication and demonization against China because it is a rising power that the USA and the West does not want to play around with.

China is a different kettle of fish for the USA and the West to contend with and counter. China now has the economic power and the military deterrence to keep the USA at bay. The USA cannot play the same game against China as it did against Japan and Germany. The USA cannot play the hardball game against China like Iraq and Libya. The USA now tries to play hardball against Iran and found out the difficulty of overpowering even a mid-tier military power. More than that, the USA could not even overpower a smaller prey like North Vietnam and Afghanistan. Think about that.

The biggest bonus for the whole world was the USA pushing Russia into the orbit of China, and now Iran is being pushed in the same direction. Elsewhere, the global south countries are well aware that China is a more reliable and safer bet than the USA. BRICS may be slow in moving, but do not be fooled. We all know that China is the master in the game of patience, something we have already seen in its quiet rise over the last three decades. No loud shouting on rooftops, no loud crowing on dung heap and just being patient and chipping away at walls erected to contain its rise.

China had been reported to be ready to attack Taiwan, a stance the USA had been promoting for more than 76 years, and the shouting gets louder every year. Where is the reality? Now, there are even dogs barking aloud that Xi wants to rule the world, trying to evoke fear to provoke the world to look at Xi in negative light. Where is the reality?

The USA and the West are masters of propaganda and invented all forms of fabricated news to support their agenda. Take the Iraq War, all based on fabricated propaganda, and yet the MSM never fact checked and just regurgitated what the West propagated before the gloated shock and awe. Of course, I am naive to think otherwise, as they are paid by the USA to toe the line.

American artists abandoned mass murderer Trump

 

Trump CANCELS his BIG SHOW after EVERYONE QUITS!! 15 minutes of pure insanity for those who hate mass murderers and American terrorists. Trump boasted about a Trump Rally with the greatest show in the White House in his circus dome. He invited all the top names in American entertainment industry to perform in his propaganda show, disguising his Operation Kill Iranians into a fake Freedom Show to celebrate America's 250 anniversary.

Now all the artistes invited and paid to perform in this Trump fake show have quitted. Trump turned around and attacked them as third grade performers not worth inviting. And because no American artists would want to be in his evil circus show, Trump had no choice but to cancel the Show totally.

Good riddance to this demonic clown.
