Intense replications of art, perfect, readable, an instant present of the human impulse set out without any work or endeavour, now raises discussions on the nature of the phenomenon. But scientism cannot answer the call or tell us what art is, nor will it tell us its purpose or benefit - the philosopher is the only one who remains outside of this paradigm and cannot fundamentally be replaced by any AI

European politicians are very much as sensitive to online organisation and critique as any Chinese ministry - "Spain's leftist PM Pedro Sánchez wants to "end anonymity" of all users on social media"
This is all claimed in the name of "hate speech", "misinformation", etc. It's not supposed to be an 'impediment' to free speech, yet absolute free speech is criminalised.

What if we hid our methodologies and writings in secret libraries under the ground to prevent the masses from accessing it through LLMs

Hasan Spiker:
"The internet is the ultimate rejection of essences; so much of it is the concretisation, in a new, 'external' world, of the perspectival relativisation of all things. It is the concretisation of self-determination, in a constructed level of being. Things can be created there; 'essences' can be 'designed', they can be made actual by simply combining into a whole whichever aspects of the imagination we wish to reify or even personify.
But the internet is not a concretisation of the imagination in the way that a work of great art is a concretisation of the imagination, by which one might rest from weary life...Rather, the internet is the concretisation of the imagination that has come to be used as a replacement for a real world, and for a real human subject living therein...
The internet is a world brought into being to serve as the willing manifestation of posmodernity's dream, replacing an extramental world which, stubbornly insisting that it indeed has a real nature, so obstinately and tenaciously resisted that dream"

"According to Dallas (Abdulqadir Sufi), the being of the contemporary world—that is, Ge-Stell/En-Framing—must be understood in terms of the cybernetic totalism within which information has become the currency of the economic mega-machine of finance capitalism"

The only reason anyone ever gets involved in "shitcoins", as it appears to me, is for the sake of quick money - $TRUMP is for insiders. It's all fake, impermanent and exists only in relation to fiat. It can be ignored as it's a seperate thing.

There's a huge amount of discussion going on concerning inflation and the decline in living standards, yet no concentration on the role fiat plays in this - people imagine only changes in social structure, not the fundamental system itself that allows it to exist

AI does not think, it completely relies on human inputs. To believe otherwise is to be attached to a science fiction world that has no link to reality and a poor understanding of consciousness. It is our aide, our servant, not our new God

To understand the first chapters of RoQ you need to read/study Descartes

If you're interested in the connection between energy and civilisation then Joseph Tainter's "The Collapse of Complex Societies" is worth checking out.

There are some people who have taken the centralising philosophy of modern statism as a confirmation of the irrelevancy of awqaf as an institution in the modern era. Is it true that there may be issues with it as a model for welfare? In comparison to the welfare state? Perhaps. But they were always primarily visualised as ways of securing the perpetual independence of the scholars from financial pressure and influence, this is their value. That is what needs to be focused on. It is a fact that cryptocurrencies can be a central factor in this. It also needs to be understood that awqaf aren't and were never mere land grants but often productive and included actual management. There are short works written by scholars on agricultural methods that they witnessed and learnt from farmers and other sources. I'd imagine the modern equivalent would be a scholar penning down a few thoughts on manufacturing.

USA's universalism cannot be maintained indefinitely, spheres of influence are developing and acquisition of Greenland may signal a continental strategy as Europe attempts to recover the industrial power they lost after decades of neoliberal market policies and interference. We are perhaps on the eve of something new, terrible but most certainly, regardless of whichever geopolitical direction this turns, always titanic.

Article on the effects of lead on IQ in the Roman Empire, worth noting that this has been a topic of investigation for many years now and reminds me what Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad has talked about concerning the effect of "modernity" physiologically speaking, however we can go further and consider the period of the "Kali Yuga" overall, including a time where men began to interact with metals and considered such a development infernal and dangerous. The blacksmith was treated with suspicion and rituals were required to cleanse the influence on the soul dealing with ores, for instance, had.

It's likely a case of algorithm, for you the emphasis is on overall statistics while my timeline is focused on per capita and the ethnicity of the victims. The latter is largely being obfuscated, ignored or improperly approached by those who share your viewpoint and is arguably a worser response to a huge issue. We are seeing "Dawah Inc" levels of idiocy here.

The Traditionalist response to technology isn't a variation or stream resembling the "Luddites", it occurs amongst an eschatological background of cyclical time and appears to argue, much like profane Conservatives do in politics, a managed decline. It also seeks to make the reader aware of the infernal and "alchemical" aspects of modern technology which have become so abundant. The final verdict is a potential future where technological development proceeds from the principles of our own metaphysics, discussions on Darwinism by Titus Burckhardt for instance, are useful preludes to those to be had in physics (what has been claimed as "Cosmotechnics"). In a way it almost feels like Seyyed Hossein Nasr had an extremely important niche in being both a graduate of the natural sciences and the "philosophia perennis" that was not explored.

If any future anti-fiat that is not gold is going to be sustained it will have to be through the development and expansion of nuclear power, energy, in a productive sense, is the lifeblood of present civilisation

The discussions to be had on fertility rates ought to take into account the possible effect of depoliticisation (in a Schmittian sense) and the absence of the theological as missing "existential" markers in a nihilistic and consumerist world.
We know that part of this decrease is the powerful projection of smaller families as a Western ideal (stemming from a combination of lower mortality rates and eugenics), making larger families appear low status, even as historically speaking it was the aristocracy who typically possessed higher TFR
