Even more relevant today than then.

Never been brought or sold, I refuse to join your chase for gold.
Peter Leyden shares his thoughts on how emerging technologies have affected our past and how current technologies will change our future.
2025: The end of our world as we know it | Peter Leyden
Emeritus Prof Christopher MayWhile child poverty worsened considerably under more than a decade of Tory govt., its also clear that Labour's refusal to lift the two-child benefit cap is compounding that effect.
As the Children's Commissioner observes, children, 'don’t talk about ‘poverty’ as an abstract concept but about not having the things that most people would consider basic'... no wonder Rachel de Souza refers to this as Dickensian.
As a society we should find this unacceptable!
The panic over AI taking jobs reveals the madness of our economy.
Neoliberalism has told us "there is no alternative" to this cycle of debt and profit. It's a lie.
The late Jacque Fresco showed that a Resource-Based Economy, using tech to manage resources for human need, not money, is possible. AI doesn't have to be a threat; it can be the tool that finally ends this insanity and sets us free.

Buckminster Fuller asked us to see our world as 'Spaceship Earth.' We have a finite vessel, a complex life-support system, and we are all the crew.
The problem? Our ship is run by 195 different captains, all with differing ideas on how to captain our vessel and how to use it's resources. Each fighting for control over the helm.
We will not reach our destination alive under these conditions.

Studies of the ultra-rich reveal a consistent pattern:
* Wealth Addiction: A compulsive need for more, just to feel a "hit".
* Empathy Deficit: As wealth grows, the ability to feel compassion for others shrinks.
* Narcissism & Entitlement: A belief that rules don't apply to them.
* Paranoia & Isolation: A deep-seated fear and distrust of others.
The system that creates billionaires also fosters these psychological distortions.

Last year, your identity was a marketing opportunity. This year, it's a liability.
Data from UKPON shows 75% of UK Prides losing corporate funding. The mask has slipped. "Rainbow capitalism" was never about solidarity.
It was about cold, hard, risk analysis.
This is the system we have: soulless, profit-driven machines that mimics humanity to sell us things, until it's no longer convenient. They have no morals, only margins.

In a just world, these promise a utopia: an end to disease, scarcity, and toil.
In our world, they risk becoming instruments of control: genetic stratification, algorithmic justice, and the end of digital and mental privacy.
The technology itself is neutral. The power structures it enters are not. The fight for our future is the fight for who controls these tools.
The production line for compliant populations starts in the classroom.
Education systems born from the industrial age, built to produce factory workers: punctual, obedient, and uniform.
Instead of fostering curiosity and critical thought, it rewards memorisation and conformity. It teaches us there's only one right answer and it comes from authority. This isn't failing by accident; it's succeeding at its original, quiet purpose: creating subjects, not citizens.
