They’re coming for your jobs, whatever those are.

PCR and Robert Henderson on the coming tech dissolution of civilization:

The attention of the world is currently fixed on coronavirus but there is another far more serious danger hurtling towards us in the shape of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and robotics.

Both are advancing rapidly. Probably within the lifetime of most people now living – and quite possibly in the next fifteen years – there will be general purpose robots (GPRs) capable of doing the vast majority of the work now undertaken by humans. When that happens international free trade and free market economics will become untenable. The real final crisis of capitalism will be the development of technology so advanced that it makes capitalism in the impossible because machines will make humans redundant across vast swathes of the economy.

Economic history shows that technological advance before the advent of digital technology creates new work. It may have very painful consequences for individuals whose livelihood disappears – the British hand-loomweavers of the early industrial revolution are a classic example – but new opportunities for employment have always as an economy becomes more sophisticated and variegated. The hand-loom weaver found work in the new factories; the redundant western factory worker of today in a call centre. At worst they might only get a MacJob but at least it was a job.

But if the GPRs can do the MacJobs as well as the more demanding work, then there will not be many new jobs for humans, not even much supervisory work because GPRs will need little supervising, and less and less as of it they become ever more sophisticated. Hence, this technological advance will be like no other: GPRs will not only take away existing jobs, they will devour any new work; the easier work first, then the more complex.

I just saw an article about 800 million jobs primed for losing to bots now, not tomorrow. These things are even writing books. What, exactly, will people do when there is nothing to do? Dope? It’s a great thing that people like Biden and Trump are all over this issue.

Diversity Killed The Academy

It had a lot of help.

Gregory Hood spills the beans on the death of the best public high school (still a government prison) in what passes for the United States.

Thus, we arrive at the current controversy about the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST). It’s not being renamed, though we can probably assume that’s next. Instead, the school, ranked by US News as the best high school in the country, has eliminated its admissions test because not enough blacks and Hispanics can pass it. TJ, as it is called, was going to have an admissions “lottery” for students who had a 3.5 GPA or better, but the Fairfax County Schools Board did not approve that part of the plan. Still, that might just be a stay of execution. A proposed “Holistic Review” instead of a lottery might be even worse.

So, for now, no one knows how TJ is going to select its students, but the old days of pure meritocracy are gone.

The days of AMERICA are gone. Read the whole sad but overly-informative piece. Then, flee any and all public “schools” and any private school that preaches DIEversity or other anti-Western hate. TJ wouldn’t recognize the place.

Benedict XVI is Pope

Period.

Jorge Bergoglio has confirmed this fact.

In a documentary that premiered Wednesday in Rome, Pope Francis called for the passage of civil union laws for same-sex couples, departing from the position of the Vatican’s doctrinal office and the pope’s predecessors on the issue.

The remarks came amid a portion of the documentary that reflected on pastoral care for those who identify as LGBT[P].

“Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out, or be made miserable because of it,” Pope Francis said in the film, of his approach to pastoral care.

After those remarks, and in comments likely to spark controversy among Catholics, Pope Francis weighed in directly on the issue of civil unions for same-sex couples.

There’s no controversy. Ann Barnhardt was correct all along: Benedict is the Pope, Bergoglio is an anti-papal usurper. Please pray for all of them.

From Freedom Prepper, about current and near-future events. Sooner or later, I expect. For my part, the recording took numerous tries and days, so I’m rather forgiving of the editing and posting processes. You’ll see it when you hear it and vice versa.

Also, there’s a new column a few days away. Next week, we should have some spooky TPC fiction. Stay tuned.

NYU, Done With You

Seriously, American colleges and universities are done.

At NYU, a journalism propaganda class and professor are subject to propaganda for discussing propaganda.

On Sept. 20, after a class discussion of the case for universal masking as defense against transmission of SARS-COV-2 (in which discussion she did not participate), a student took to Twitter to express her fury that Prof. Miller had brought up the randomized, controlled tests—all of those so far conducted on the subject—finding that masks and ventilators are ineffective at preventing such transmission, because the COVID-19 virions are too small for such expedients to block them. Prof. Miller urged the students to read those studies, as well as others that purport to show the opposite, with due attention to the scientific reviews thereof, and possible financial links between the researchers conducting them, and such interests as Big Pharma and the Gates Foundation. Prof. Miller followed up by providing the links to the former studies (not easily found on Google, though they have all appeared in reputable medical journals), and other materials, including a video of a debate on the subject.

Of course, the school sided with the Twit-head. The truth has no place in Amerikan higher academia, certainly not in the journalism department. Associate with this idiocy at your own risk.

Odor of Desperation

They’re getting nervous with the 2020 total deaths count looming larger week by week. The estimate already looks very bad for the hoax. Thus, they sling “studies” at the wall.

Deaths directly or indirectly attributable to the first wave of Covid-19 infections across 21 wealthy nations earlier this year exceeded government tallies by 20 percent on average, according to a study published Wednesday.

Looking at the period from mid-February through May 2020, researchers reported 206,000 more deaths than would have been expected without the pandemic.

But only 167,148 were officially traced to the coronavirus that has swept the globe since the start of the year, infecting tens of millions.

Many of the roughly 40,000 unaccounted-for deaths were due to Covid-19 but not listed as such, especially early in the pandemic when overwhelmed hospitals in some nations were unable to systematically test patients.

Blah, blah, blah. Total deaths from all causes will drop, at least in the US, from 2019 to 2020. When that happens (next year), look for a new “study” from the CDC that says that many people still alive are really dead – from COVID, of course. And, who knows? Maybe by then, they can manage to isolate s specimen and develop a test for the virus, literally based on the virus and not a randomized series of guesses. Next, look for the cessation in all future total death reports. Reporting causes of death = Russian white supremacy!

Sweden, Where Diversity Is The Bomb(ings)!

Who could have ever imagined this:

Migrant mafia gangs are terrorising Sweden’s streets with a surge of bombings and murders, forcing police chiefs in one of Europe’s most liberal countries to admit they are losing their grip on law and order.

Just five years after the country welcomed refugees with open arms, criminal clans from the Middle East, north Africa and the Balkans are behind soaring crime rates in their once peaceful cities, police say, with 257 bombings and more than 300 shootings last year.

In one extraordinary incident in August, Gothenburg’s most notorious crime family, the Ali Khan gang, set up roadblocks in the northeast of the city, shining torches into cars to hunt for members of a rival mob.

Quick! Somebody tell the police about “White Supremacy” and terrorism just being an ideology!

Government School = Masked Terror

Sadly, almost all schools in the former America require children to cover their Image-of-God faces with training burkhas. The public concentration camps are upping the enforcement of the unconscionable.

The board unanimously approved a motion from board member Cameron Nuessle for “the district to give clear guidance to schools on defiance and insubordination with respect to wearing a face covering.”

Superintendent King Laurence said refusing to wear a mask could fall under the Code of Conduct’s infraction of defiance or, with repeated violations, insubordination.

A “King” issues his decree. This particular petty tyrant replaced a goon who was canned for making death threats in re a coverup of something about a computer. Not to worry! That thug, rather than being arrested, drifted into another cushy government make-work position elsewhere. But, your kids … their adherence to normalcy is defiant insubordination. This, from a “school” system with all the self-reported performance characteristics one would expect.

No masks required at the little HOME schoolhouse!
