Scholé News – June 2023

Day after day, the mainstream media bombard us

with partly euphoric, partly terrifying reports about the blessings and dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Everyone agrees that we cannot escape AI, because its rise is rapid and unstoppable. Is that true? And what will the effects be? Do we have to brace ourselves for unforeseeable threats, or could the digital technology boost, which is already in full swing, also have a positive effect on human development?

A large part of the population is so severely traumatised that it lets itself be steered by anonymous powers through fear propaganda in the media. For these people, the advance of AI could indeed be of vital importance. They agreed when governments and pharmaceutical companies joined forces to invest citizens’ tax money in achieving a herd immunity that was illusory anyway – so they presumably feel like their herd animals. They now go along just as willingly with the climate panic stoked by the media, and since they “have nothing to hide”, it does not bother them to be monitored at every turn.

By now they can even warm to the prospect of insect burgers, a central bank digital currency, remote-controlled vehicles, interchangeable genders, test-tube babies to order and a fully supervised existence in 15-minute cities. New prophets of the likes of Yuval Noah Harari sell them transhumanism as a grand next step in evolution: the Homo Deus of the near future, superior to the Creator, will save the world by reshaping it in his own image.

“If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans”

goes an old saying. The AI propagandists have reckoned without their host. They actually seem to assume that nature, animals, oceans and climate depend on humans. But any child can see that the opposite is true: like all living beings, we depend on the sun, which gives us light and warmth, and on the earth, which carries and nourishes us. If we pollute and poison our environment, we ourselves are the main victims – nature has a completely different time horizon; it will regenerate in any case, with or without Homo sapiens or Homo Deus…

Nor does the good life of people today depend on whether they are connected to the Internet of Things or can fly to Mars. Even a child conceived in a test tube needs light, water, natural food and above all the love and care of real attachment figures to survive. Care robots will never be able to replace contact with living people, and the hype around the Tamagotchi, the artificial pet, was very short-lived, if I remember correctly… No technology, however sophisticated, will ever come close to the miracle of life!

Which professions will still matter in future?

Artificial intelligence could even open our eyes in this respect, I think. It is up to us whether we let ourselves be controlled by it or use it as a tool to create a world more fit for human beings. If we succumb neither to its threats nor to its temptations, we will soon realise that activities and jobs “lost” to AI were not worthy of human beings in the first place if robots can do them just as well!

Activities that have so far been disregarded, poorly paid or not paid at all – the work of gardeners, carers, cleaners, cooks, waiters, service providers of all kinds, energy healers, doulas and so on – cannot be replaced by any AI. Still less the tasks of loving mothers and fathers who are willing to accompany their children! So they will inevitably gain in prestige, while many “academic” professions that are still highly regarded today will fall victim to AI.

The price and the desired side effects of progress

Every technical advance has led to a concentration of power and money at the expense of nature and ordinary people. But it has always also brought opponents onto the scene who selflessly championed the protection of life and the well-being of people. The introduction of the first machines gave rise to large railway networks, shipping companies and spinning mills. Coachmen, weavers, tailors and many other craftsmen lost their jobs. In response, idealistic social revolutionaries fought hard political battles to win rights for the exploited workers that we now take for granted – decent housing, fixed wages, health insurance or paid holidays.

The next wave of mechanisation was just as double-edged in its effects. It brought an unprecedented boom in industry, construction, banking and finance, and wiped out classic professions such as stoker, printer or farmer. When horses and oxen had to make way for huge agricultural machines, a dramatic decline in farming set in. But the triumph of genetic engineering, poison and artificial fertiliser in agriculture produced counter-movements: nature conservation, organic farming and permaculture. And the guest workers who were brought in because the technically highly developed countries did not have enough hands to build all the new skyscrapers, shopping centres and motorways have given rise to multi-ethnic societies in many places. Thanks to the tireless mediation of countless committed activists, this has led to a new openness to the world and taught people religious and cultural tolerance.

The AI revolution

Over the past thirty years the computer has conquered the world. The result was an inhuman bureaucratisation of all areas of life. On the other hand, digitalisation also brought a big gain in freedom of information for internet users who think for themselves. Now the next revolution, the AI revolution, is on its way: even people who have so far described themselves as “creatives”, such as graphic designers, layout artists, photographers, musicians or scientists, are suddenly faced with the fact that they are no longer needed, because ChatGPT and similar AI programs work much faster, more reliably and more cheaply.

The challenge we face today is surely greater than all those that preceded it. Mister Global, the concentrated capital power of the planet, has managed to buy most politicians, scientists and media makers. They advance the transhumanist goals of their anonymous clients by refining age-old propaganda methods. To appeal to people’s baser nature, it is enough to frighten them first and then promise them more security and comfort. Where that is not enough, ethical achievements of the past are preferably perverted for propaganda purposes: solidarity, nature conservation, friendliness towards foreigners, tolerance. We can watch every day how perfectly this ideological reversal of concepts works…

But the resistance to the globalists and their henchmen is also more powerful than ever before. The most beautiful crystals form under high pressure: under the enormous pressure of a concerted campaign of lies aimed at total control of the population, many people all over the world have finally discovered their spirit of resistance and unlocked their long-forgotten spiritual powers.

The next stage of peaceful resistance

At first, resisting costs brave fighters for truth and justice a great deal of strength. But soon each of them experiences, in their own way, how heaven comes to their aid and enables them to remain at peace inwardly despite all the outer turbulence. As soon as the spirit takes the lead, wars and bloody revolutions are no longer possible. For from the spiritual perspective, division and competition are easily seen through as illusions. Anyone who has once realised this feels, once and for all, like a child of Mother Earth and a member of the human family.

However hard the dark powers may try to sow hatred and discord in the camp of their opponents, they achieve no more than small temporary successes by infiltrating the peaceful resistance. It is therefore no longer worth taking the dark side seriously. Basically, laughter is the only appropriate reaction to their increasingly obvious megalomania and intoxication with power!

Laughing and playing

Since spring 2023, most people in the peaceful resistance have reached this next stage and are already preparing inwardly for a new era in human history: a world without ecclesiastical or secular rulers, without governments, without know-it-all officials, without professional propagandists. A world in which every person’s right to self-determination is taken seriously, from the first breath to the last. This will set in motion a spiral of love and creativity whose effects we cannot even imagine yet.

Is it a coincidence that so many children today are fascinated by computer games such as Minecraft, which are about building new worlds? The fact that the mainstream media warn so strongly against them (because playing jeopardises success at school!) certainly strengthens my suspicion…

Cheerful greetings Alexandra

2nd edition of “Lernen ist wie Atmen” (Learning is like breathing)

The 2nd edition of our book meets a completely changed readership.

In 2017, the idea that learning outside school was possible at all was considered the eccentric notion of a few outsiders. Since then, all parents, whether they wanted to or not, have had to deal with forms of learning outside school.

The number of children withdrawn from school has exploded since then, and alternative learning projects are springing up like mushrooms.
