The Intelligence Curse This series examines the incoming crisis of human irrelevance and provides a map towards a future where people remain the masters of their destiny.

AGI may soon make humans economically irrelevant, breaking the #socialContract. The "intelligence curse" explained: pyramid replacement → human irrelevance → power consolidation.

Can we break it by averting catastrophes, diffusing AI & democratizing?

No; it’s a question of the social contract. If someone proactively opts out of the tax base for personal $ gain, they’re making a calculated trade-off. Pointing out that government protection usually follows contribution isn't an attack—it’s just the logic of reciprocity. #SocialContract #Taxes

Leave a person with more hope than they had before they met you, even by just a little bit. We must engage and evolve our social contract once again. #poverty #socialjustice #socialcontract 5/5

“Australia’s Jewish cmty , like its Muslim, Hindu, Christian & secular cmty’s, is composed of Aust.

#Citizenship, not creed or ethnicity, is the org principle of our public life. This is not merely an aspirational slogan; it is the #socialcontract that has underpinned Aus’s cohesion & progress…”

Agreed. To not comprehend #freeexpression vs #freespeech is just a catastrophic failure of relational logic and reciprocity.

#PoppersParadox and #socialcontract are so basic, and if he can't handle that he could at least understand #BevMcLachlin argument re #selfdefense and pleas of pre emption.

Beyond ‘cheating’: AI exposes deeper crises in universities The rush by academia to either dismiss or embrace AI may partly be driven by anxiety over higher education’s relevance. But we risk missing what AI ...

Pakistan doesn’t suffer from a lack of sacrifice, but from unequal sacrifice. Reform begins when privilege is taxed and power is owned.

Pakistan 2026: Restoring Trust Through Reform, Accountability, And Inclusion Pakistan faces deep elite-driven crises in 2026; reform, accountability, economic inclusion, and women’s empowerment are essential for trust and stability

The Glorious Revolution 1688 The Revolution of 1688 that deposed King James II and put William III and Mary II on the throne of England, sometimes called the Glorious, or Bloodless, Revolution.

Nobody taught me about “11, 12 who will delve?” —digging deeper, I found a gem 💎: the origin of buckled shoes in the 1688 Glorious Revolution, which deposed a king and gave England a parliament

Why Europe should not worry about US out-performance The US has had stronger growth than Europe recently – but its out-performance is easily explainable. Instead of worrying about the US, Europe should focus on itself and avoid repeating past mistakes.

US Corporate Stockpiles Grow, Soaring to Record $4.11 Trillion US companies added to their cash stockpiles in the first quarter, sending holdings to a record $4.11 trillion as a resilient economy and relatively high interest rates helped boost returns.

And they don’t know how to spend the money. We need a new #socialcontract that moves away from the extractive colonial, mercantilist model: #beyondgdp
