Is Communism Really the Only Answer?

AI White Collar Job Apocalypse, BIG TECH SURVEILLANCE And The Coming Alien Biosecurity Regime, Human Categorization, Humans Categorized as Expendable, Is Communism Really the Only Answer?

Is Dario Amodei's AI-safety oversight plan really a form of communism? Not literally—he isn't proposing state ownership or a planned economy—but handing frontier-AI oversight to an insular network of ideologically-aligned evaluators reveals the same instinct: a small circle of credentialed insiders deciding, on everyone else's behalf, what risks the public may take. The New York Post's account of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's proposed AI-safety oversight network raises a blunt question: when AI's leaders claim their systems may create a crisis beyond ordinary human control, why is their answer another insulated network of ideological insiders? The article portrays Amodei's preferred outside evaluator, Model Evaluation and Threat Research (METR), as deeply connected to the Effective Altruism world, Anthropic's investors, and the same alignment-research community it is supposed to scrutinize.

Humans Categorized as Expendable

Assisted Dying Financial Savings, CANADA and the New Culture of Compassionate Killing, Human Categorization, Humans Categorized as Expendable, Slaves are a Sub-Categorization of Humans

Every assisted-dying program in the developed world began the same way: a narrow exception for a small number of terminally ill adults, built on strict safeguards everyone agreed were necessary. A decade later, in Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands, those safeguards have moved — consistently in one direction. Eligibility has widened, the numbers have grown, and government researchers now openly discuss the financial savings involved. That trajectory is not an accident of policy drift. It is what happens whenever a category of people gets legally redefined as a burden rather than a life to be protected — and it is worth understanding in detail, because it is the same categorization machinery a future "biosecurity" framework would need. How Canada's Track System Quietly Erased the Terminal-Illness Requirement Canada's Medical Assistance in…

Jobs AI is Likely to Change—Not Simply Replace

Brookings AI Job Losses, Employer Leverage and Worker Bargaining Power, Government Precedents Behind Alien Encounter Response, Human Categorization, Jobs AI is Likely to Change, Will AI Eliminate My Job

Every AI-and-jobs headline seems to reach for the same verb: replace. But the actual labor-market data tells a messier story. Most jobs aren't being deleted outright—they're being taken apart and reassembled, with a smaller human core and a much bigger AI shell around it. The real question isn't just which job categories survive. It's what happens to the humans still doing them once the employer holds nearly all the leverage in the negotiation. What Jobs Are Actually Disappearing When AI Automates Work? Some categories genuinely are shrinking. The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 projects 19 million net new jobs by 2030 against roughly 9 million lost—but broken out by cause, AI and information processing alone is expected to create about 11 million jobs while displacing about 9…

Abortion is Categorizing Humans as Expendable

Abortion is Categorizing Humans as Expendable, BIG TECH SURVEILLANCE And The Coming Alien Biosecurity Regime, How should Christians Deal with Genetically Impacted People, Human Categorization, Slaves are a Sub-Categorization of Humans

Biologically, the question of when a new human organism begins is not ambiguous. The widely used medical textbook The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, by Keith Moore, T.V.N. Persaud, and Mark Torchia, states plainly that “human development begins at fertilization when a sperm fuses with an oocyte to form a single cell, the zygote.” At that moment, a complete, unique set of human DNA is formed — distinct from either parent’s — and that same DNA persists in every cell of that person’s body for the rest of their life. The DNA in you today is the same DNA that existed the moment you were conceived. What abortion involves, biologically, is the ending of that individual human organism’s life. This article is not about whether that act is morally justified.…

Slaves are a Sub-Categorization of Humans

BIG TECH SURVEILLANCE And The Coming Alien Biosecurity Regime, Government Precedents Behind Alien Encounter Response, HEALTH CARE APPS AND WEBSITES TRUSTED TOOLS DISTRUSTED SYSTEMS, Human Categorization, Is the Government Prepared for an Alien Encounter, Slaves are a Sub-Categorization of Humans

Has history used legal paperwork to strip people of personhood? Repeatedly — the 1926 League of Nations Slavery Convention defined slavery as ownership rights over a person, and under France’s 1685 Code Noir, enslaved people were simultaneously property and criminally liable persons. The book argues this same bureaucratic sorting mechanism is what a future alien-contagion classification system would use against “contaminated” or unwanted populations. Throughout history, one of the most reliable ways a society justifies cruelty is by first redefining who counts as fully human. Long before anyone commits an atrocity, a legal or cultural system usually does the quieter work of sorting people into tiers — full persons, partial persons, property, or threats. The 1926 League of Nations Slavery Convention put the core mechanism in strikingly clinical terms, defining…
