Freedoms and Skills – Lost to a World of AI
I Would Challenge You To a Battle of Wits, But I See You Are Unarmed

Quote Investigator: There is no substantive evidence that the Bard of Avon penned this jest. Attributions to Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and Winston Churchill are also unsupported. The earliest evidence of comparable word play located by QI appeared in an 1866 novel which the author, Abby Buchanan Longstreet, released under a pseudonym. Longstreet described a character blushing and then employed an instance of the trope.

Free men don’t obey public servants.
(16:00)
All the mental midgets in the video appeared to be at least 18 or older. They are manipulated and unaware of their own ignorance. One girl knew the names of all the Kardashians, but was clueless as to the real environment. Another didn’t know how many dimes in a dollar. They lack basic math skills, let alone logic and reasoning.
These poor souls could never win in court. The law is intricate, and doesn’t operate on opinions and sad stories. Unprepared for a battle of wits, they’re helpless captives of a system.
When hungry, and lacking morals, they won’t reason with others. They don’t think forward.
Reflecting on this, I recall using calculators in school and learning Spanish. I’m not fast with math, but with my love for electronics, I understand the formulas and concepts.
In George Orwell’s classic 1984, language is reduced to a limited number of words to limit one’s thinking. Legalese is a language I’m trying to teach you for your benefit.
Calculators took away students’ abilities to do math. Now we’re losing cursive too. I am being bombarded with offers to use AI legal and writing tools. I’ve written hundreds of newspaper columns in my mane and ghostwritten for others. Legal-ghostwriting is illegal in some states. I can teach and proof.
Today, non-writers can talk into microphones and AI crafts pretty sentences. They feel empowered by AI or editing software like Grammarly. But can you imagine where we’re going if people can’t even do basic math or know the seasons?
AI will do to writing what calculators did to math skills. Snuffed it.
Venturing into AI, I use a software called The Brain. My Brains contain thousands of articles, tags, thoughts, and notes. Each distinct Brain is devoted to areas such as STEM, health, medicine, or my personal journals. My largest brain—Law—weaves a vibrant tapestry of interconnected ideas. I use version 13.
Version 14 of the Brain looms on the horizon, heralding an AI integration. Soon, Brain 14 will want access to sift through every saved file. Ranging from sexual predator cases, Preparation H, government secrets, and my most intimate personal notes. Encrypted as they may be, I question if AI would respect my privacy. How else could it aid me, if it didn’t understand the hierarchy of my files and writings, legal and otherwise?
Calculators offer quick solutions. So too, AI provides the writing-challenged an opportunity to pen subpar works.
Recently, some attorneys used AI to create court filings, but faced severe reprimands for their folly. AI created bogus caselaw. And to think attorneys are intelligent.
Returning to the people in the video, these plebeians lack the ability for independent thought; they struggle to comprehend concepts like “free men do not obey public servants.”
Their world, reminiscent of 1984, is minuscule and incomprehensible. As a warning and commentary, we must delve deeper into this issue.
You’re here because you seek education over entertainment.
I offer my condolences to the future.

Close the Border
(at 33:40 by T.L. Davis)
Everyone is more important than the U.S. citizen.
They will mobilize every resource they have to cater to the problems of other people, Palestinians, Israelis, Ukrainians and Chinese, but you? Not a dime.
Even during the pandemic, a few hundred dollars were sent to the people who had their whole lives disrupted, their businesses shut down, their jobs disappeared and all they could do is toss a couple of hundred dollars at the problems they caused.
They give more money to every single illegal per month than they gave to the American people (in total) during the pandemic. Now, they’re building shelters and whole communities for them.
At the same time, they offered $700 to those on Maui.

The CFPB is your only friend, as far as bureaucracies go
(43:30)
The CFPB writes and enforces rules for financial institutions, examines both bank and non-bank financial institutions, monitors and reports on markets, as well as collects and tracks consumer complaints.
The CFPB opened its website in early February 2011 to accept suggestions from consumers via YouTube, Twitter, and its own website interface. According to the United States Treasury Department, the bureau is tasked with the responsibility to “promote fairness and transparency for mortgages, credit cards, and other consumer financial products and services”. According to its web site, the CFPB’s “central mission…is to make markets for consumer financial products and services work for Americans—whether they are applying for a mortgage, choosing among credit cards, or using any number of other consumer financial products”. In 2016 alone most of the hundreds and thousands of consumer complaints about their financial services—including banks and credit card issuers—were received and compiled by CFPB and are publicly available on a federal government database.

Oral argument before the Supreme Court
(at 48:45)
In 2017, the CFPB adopted a rule that prohibited lenders from further attempting to withdraw funds from borrowers’ bank accounts after two consecutive attempts failed for lack of funds.
https://www.oyez.org/cases/2023/22-448
A group of lenders sued the CFPB over that rule, arguing that the agency’s funding scheme was unconstitutional. Instead of receiving money allocated to it each year by Congress, as most agencies do, the CFPB receives funding directly from the Federal Reserve, which collects fees from member banks. The district court concluded the funding scheme was not unconstitutional, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed.
