Living the Lie that welcomed in AI: We are addicted to an easy living lifestyle where the relationship between what’s easy and what hurts us is deliberately overlooked.

You may need to stop and think about the next paragraph. It is certainly recommended that you take the time to do so. If you can.

We don’t get addicted to the things that we need.

Your brain may now be whirring and coming up with all the things you have, you use or that you experience in your own life that you just know people can get addicted to in some way.

But are any of them things that anyone genuinely needs?

The honest, fully understood or recognised answer will be NO.

The things that we need are the very basic things that allow us to survive in a happy, healthy, safe and secure way – and NO MORE!

We do not need AI to survive or to thrive.

AI is something that somebody somewhere else is working very hard to make us want.
