MIC CHECK.
THE ECONOMIES, GOVERNMENTS, AND CULTURES OF THE WORLD HAVE A VIRUS. THIS VIRUS EXISTS ONLY TO SERVE ITSELF. THIS VIRUS IS ENSLAVING AND KILLING ITS HOST. THE HOST IS US.
THE CODE OF THE VIRUS IS GREED AND FEAR. IT IS WRITTEN IN THE EQUATIONS AND ALGORITHMS OF THE FINANCIAL SOFTWARE OF WALL STREET, AND AS A RESULT THE ECONOMIC ENGINE OF THIS WORLD NO LONGER SERVES HUMANITY. IT SERVES ONLY ITSELF.
WE ARE DEALING WITH AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. EACH OPERATION OF ITS ELECTRONIC MIND HAS THE EFFECT OF ACCUMULATING WEALTH IN AN INCREASINGLY SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
THIS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS ATTACHED ITSELF COMPLETELY TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES, OF CANADA, AND OF THE WORLD. IT HAS DONE THIS THROUGH CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS WHICH ARE IRRESPONSIBLE AND DANGEROUS, AND JUSTIFIED ONLY THROUGH THE CRUEL LOGIC OF THE VIRUS ITSELF IN AN INFERNAL LOOP.
THIS VIRUS HAS PENETRATED THE DNA OF OUR CULTURE. THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS INFECTION ARE CONSUMERISM, WASTE, AND APATHY, AND THE INFECTION WILL NEVER STOP WITHOUT OUR DIRECT INTERVENTION.
IF WE MARCH THE BANKERS, AND THE BUSINESS LEADERS, AND THE LOBBYISTS, AND THE POLITICIANS OUT OF THEIR HALLS OF POWER, WE CAN EXPECT THE NUREMBERG DEFENCE. “I WAS ONLY FOLLOWING ORDERS”. BECAUSE JUST LIKE US, THEY ARE ALSO SLAVES TO THE A.I.
WE HAVE A QUARREL WITH OUR LEADERS ONLY FOR THEIR LACK OF WISDOM, AND THEIR INABILITY TO ACT CONTRARY TO INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE VIRUS. SHAME ON THEM!
THERE IS A WAY TO WIN AGAINST THIS SOCIOPATHIC CREATURE OF OUR OWN DESIGN. THAT WAY IS EMPATHY. EMPATHY IS THE MEANS AND THE END TO THE PROTEST YOU SEE AROUND YOU.
THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WAS NOT PROGRAMMED TO UNDERSTAND EMPATHY, AND SO IT CANNOT PREDICT EMPATHY, AND THAT IS WHY WE WILL SUCCEED.
THE WAY THAT WE WILL KNOW THAT WE HAVE WON IS THAT WHEN OUR LEADERS MARCH OUT, WE SHALL APPLY OUR EMPATHY. AND WE SHALL FORGIVE THEM. AND THEN THEY SHALL JOIN US.
HUMANS! THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES. DIRECT ALL YOUR ENERGIES AGAINST THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE THAT HAS ENSLAVED THE WORLD AND EXORCISE IT WITH EMPATHY IN A RIGHTEOUS HACK.
This would make a great Anonymous speech. Perhaps without the line "And we shall forgive them" That can be implied.
thank you! i put the forgiveness in on purpose, because i think people worry about being fully accepted into the group based on their past actions. however, feel free to modify it if you choose to use it. i am open sourcing the antivirus.
No, I agree, forgivness is great. But you know Anonymous
We do not forgive
I feel it should be changed to show that we do not forgive the virus and those that support it, we can forgive those that are used by it. But that is a mouthful.
Anyone know where I can find a fun voice changer? Microsoft Sam's voice is really annoying.
well then we have quite a philosophical problem on our hands, don't we? i'm not equipped to deal with issues like these... but i do know that forgiveness is extremely powerful, and it's the only thing that allows us to move forward instead of being caught in the cycle of revenge. if this is incompatible with the aims of anonymous, then perhaps it is best that anonymous does not carry the message.
but i committed to the possibility that my message would be altered when i posted it online. and i'm okay with that.
No forgiveness is great. And we should forgive as many as possible, but some entities (not people but corrupt companies that may have hurt us) we will not be able to forgive easily. We won't start buying their products quickly. I don't think it means we need to enact revenge, just that we shouldn't give them our favor.
ok, i can agree to that. the next question is how do we ensure that the people can hope to be forgiven while the virus cannot? i guess because forgiveness requires empathy - feeling the pain of the person you've wronged - while the virus is incapable of that experience. but can we get that message across?
