Politics, Illusions, and the Cycles We Keep Repeating

It’s been interesting watching what’s been happening in New York recently.Election of Zohran Mamdani. I’m not someone who follows the news every day, but even with the tiny clips that crossed my screen, I felt the shock ripple through people. What surprised me even more was seeing a few young friends I truly admire get swept into the noise without noticing the deeper currents underneath.

There’s this pattern we keep repeating in politics. A kind of loop. A cycle that doesn’t end because we rarely step outside it long enough to see what’s actually going on.

We keep getting fooled by appearances. Wolves dressed as sheep. Heroes who turn into villains. Villains who market themselves as saints. And we convince ourselves that switching sides will save us. If one political party disappoints, we run to the other side as if it’s a clean escape. But it rarely is. We’re still running in circles inside the same broken system.

One of the biggest traps is this childish idea that “capitalists are evil” and “socialists are angels.” Or the opposite. Both camps love painting themselves as the good side of history. Schools, media, and political teams all push this narrative. And people stop questioning. They stop researching. They stop thinking for themselves.

But if you take a deeper look honestly, neutrally, you’ll see something simple: any system collapses when the people inside it don’t grow.

Even the most beautiful philosophy, even the most carefully designed government, even a system with zero flaws on paper… it will eventually fall apart if the people running it haven’t evolved. Human immaturity destroys more systems than bad ideas ever have.

If you don’t believe me, look at the countries that tried to build a “perfect society” through strict state control and heavy top-down planning. Many promised equality and dignity for all, but their people ended up struggling with low happiness, low freedom, weak economies, and governments that couldn’t deliver what they claimed.

The truth is, top-down structures don’t work anymore. People are waking up. Technology is changing how we connect, how we organize, and how we build communities. We don’t have to accept the old political game as our destiny.

We can create something better. not by switching sides, not by fighting the old system with more noise, but by starting from a different understanding of ourselves. A system built on mature people, transparent tools, shared responsibility, and the willingness to evolve.

Real change doesn’t come from elections. It happens when people upgrade themselves.

If we don’t grow, then any system and anyone we celebrate will glitch sooner or later....

This article comes from two ideas Richard Rudd talks about: How breakdowns can unlock creativity, and how new systems only work when people level up first.

The Real Threat Isn’t AI It’s Our Outdated Human Operating System

April 16, 2025 – North York Library- Toronto Ontario 9:30 AM

We are living through a moment of overwhelming acceleration. The pace of technological advancement — especially in the past few months — has crossed into a zone that feels both exhilarating and terrifying.

Many predicted that this era would be full of breakthroughs. What few fully grasped was the emotional cost of it all.

And now, Artificial Intelligence has become the center of a global conversation — a conversation filled with anxiety, awe, and apocalyptic fear.

But I believe we’re asking the wrong question.

What Are We Really Afraid Of ?

Why are we so disturbed by this machine we’ve created?

Is it because its vast intelligence exposes how limited we are?

Is it because we sense that our own creation might outgrow us — perhaps even overpower us?

Or perhaps the fear is deeper. Maybe we know that we are no longer living as the image of the divine we once believed ourselves to be. We call ourselves Homo sapiens, “the wise ones,” yet our behavior still echoes the primitive instincts of early humanity.

We may no longer live in caves, but we still act like cave dwellers.

Fear. Control. Greed. These are still the dominant forces running the program of humanity.

So maybe the real terror behind AI isn’t what it might become —

but what it reveals about who we are right now.

We Are Projecting Our Shadows

If we’re honest, we can admit: we’ve not outgrown the old operating system that runs our behaviors, choices, and cultures.

Even in this so-called modern age, we see war, injustice, division, and environmental destruction — all by our own hands.

Now, we look at AI and whisper warnings of a monster rising.

But maybe what we’re seeing…

is ourselves.

Our fear isn’t of AI.

It’s of the mirror it holds up to our outdated human system.

So, What Now?

We cannot stop the evolution of technology. Nor should we.

And yet we also cannot deny that the power we’re building in these machines demands a new kind of power within us.

This is the turning point.

We don’t need to stop AI.

We need to upgrade our own operating system.

The Human OS Needs an Update

Just like computers, we run on a system — a deep, inherited programming made of survival instincts, cultural conditioning, ego, and trauma.

That system has been running the show since the dawn of humanity.

But it’s outdated.

It’s glitching.

It’s hurting us.

Now is the time to ask: Can we upgrade?

The answer is yes.

But only if we’re willing to do the deep work.

This idea isn’t new. For thousands of years, spiritual teachers and wise souls have pointed to it. They called it salvation, awakening, liberation.

Today, you might hear it as:

“Raise your frequency.”

“Transcend the matrix.”

“Return to your true self.”

They all point to the same thing: Reprogram yourself.

Why I Still Believe in Us

Some say: “If humanity hasn’t changed in thousands of years, why would it now?”

But I believe something has shifted.

• The line between science and spirituality is dissolving.

• Logic-minded thinkers are beginning to realize that spirituality isn’t superstition — it’s structure.

• Creative minds — artists, sensitives, empaths — are already flowing into the new paradigm with more ease.

• Even ancient systems like the Mayan Calendar and astrology point to this moment in time as a gateway.

We are being invited to move from a system of fear, scarcity, and control…

to one of love, clarity, and connection.

A Personal Vow

I, like many others, have chosen to walk this path in whatever way I can — a path of awakening consciousness, overcoming fear, and building a brighter world. To support this, I will soon be launching a podcast where we will explore these very themes with deeper insight and unfiltered reflection — conversations about technology, spirituality, and the kind of transformation that begins from within.

Final Thought

We’ve faced darkness before.

We’ve crossed burning deserts, survived wars, and witnessed collapse.

And still — we rise.

This time, we are being called to rise not just with better tools —

but with better hearts.

Not by fighting the machines —

but by upgrading the humans who build them.

A Letter to Those Curious About the World Economic Forum (WEF)

Dear Reader,

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is one of the most powerful organizations in the world, shaping global policies on economy, technology, climate, and governance. Founded in 1971 in Switzerland, it brings together world leaders, billionaires, and corporations to discuss the future of humanity. But here’s the big question: Whose future are they shaping, and for whose benefit?

To understand this, let’s first look at a simple truth: Power can be used in two ways—to control people or to empower them. When an institution works from a place of control, fear, and secrecy, it operates in what we call the shadow level of power. This is when decisions are made behind closed doors, when fear is used to push agendas, and when people are told they need to “trust the experts” without questioning. The shadow side of power creates dependency—it makes people believe they need an external authority to fix their problems, rather than being trusted to make decisions for themselves.

On the other hand, real leadership empowers people. It provides tools, knowledge, and transparency so individuals and communities can build solutions together. This is the difference between an organization that controls versus one that supports progress.

Now, let’s look at the World Economic Forum and ask: Are they operating from a place of true leadership, or are they keeping power at the top while telling us it’s for our own good?

Comparison of WEF Policies vs. Empowered Leadership Approach

Economic Model

• WEF Approach: Pushes stakeholder capitalism, where businesses serve social and environmental goals instead of just profit.

• Empowered Approach: Supports free-market capitalism, allowing businesses to innovate while respecting communities and individual rights.

Climate & Energy

• WEF Approach: Advocates for net-zero policies, carbon taxes, and fossil fuel restrictions—without offering scalable alternatives.

• Empowered Approach: Encourages energy innovation, letting countries find solutions that work best for theminstead of following centralized mandates.

Digital Currency & Banking

• WEF Approach: Promotes Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) that could track and control spending.

• Empowered Approach: Allows people to choose decentralized finance and digital currencies like Bitcoin, giving them more financial freedom.

Trade & Globalization

• WEF Approach: Encourages global cooperation but centralizes control through regulations like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance scores).

• Empowered Approach: Supports economic sovereignty, where each country prioritizes its people first while still engaging in fair trade.

Health Policies

• WEF Approach: Advocates for global health governance, such as vaccine mandates and biometric health tracking, often prioritizing the interests of pharmaceutical corporations over individuals.

• Empowered Approach: Prioritizes the health of the people, not the profits of pharmaceutical companies, ensuring medical freedom and transparent healthcare choices based on well-being rather than corporate influence.

Technology & AI

• WEF Approach: Pushes for AI governance, digital IDs, and tracking technologies that can limit privacy.

• Empowered Approach: Encourages responsible AI development without sacrificing individual freedoms.

Social & Cultural Policies

• WEF Approach: Uses Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, sometimes leading to forced ideological conformity.

• Empowered Approach: Supports merit-based policies and freedom of expression without political coercion.

Sovereignty & Governance

• WEF Approach: Strengthens global institutions that influence national governments.

• Empowered Approach: Prioritizes local governance, where decisions are made closer to the people they affect.

Immigration

• WEF Approach: Promotes mass migration and open borders without addressing long-term economic and social effects.

• Empowered Approach: Supports secure borders and controlled immigration to ensure stability and fair opportunities for all.

Where the WEF Stands Today

The WEF operates mostly from a place of control rather than empowerment in past half a century . Their policies create a system where decisions are made by a small group of elites, while the rest of the world is expected to follow. They use fear-based narratives—such as climate catastrophe, pandemics, and economic crises—to justify why they must take more control. Rather than trusting people to co-create solutions, they believe governments, corporations, and institutions should decide for the masses. This is where the danger lies. Many people follow the WEF because they believe it represents a higher power or a force for good—but they don’t question the details. When an organization claims to be helping the world yet operates in secrecy and limits discussion, shouldn’t we ask why?

The Next Step for Those Following the WEF’s Vision

If you support the WEF, ask yourself:

• Are these policies truly helping people, or are they creating more dependency?

• Do these solutions give people more freedom, or do they centralize power?

• Are nations making their own choices, or are they being pressured into compliance?

The next step for those following the WEF should be awareness. Many well-meaning people support their vision without realizing the consequences. They believe in global cooperation, fairness, and progress—but they don’t see how these ideas are being used to justify restrictions on personal and national freedom.

If the WEF is truly leading humanity into the future, it should operate with transparency, decentralization, and trust. But right now, it functions more like a ruling class dictating what’s best for others.The world doesn’t need more centralized control—it needs collaboration, real innovation, and freedom

Final Thought: A Message for Canadians

As Canadians, we need to pay close attention to the shift happening in the U.S. With a new leadership possibly returning under Trump, many people are quick to attack his policies without understanding the bigger picture.

Before jumping to conclusions, we need to ask ourselves:

• Is Trump really against the well-being of other countries like Canada, or does he have a different plan in mind?

• Are the trade tensions and economic decisions purely about nationalism, or are they a response to deeper global power struggles?

We’ve seen in past trade disputes—such as the NAFTA renegotiation and tariffs on Canadian aluminum and steel—that Trump’s leadership prioritizes the U.S. economy, sometimes at the expense of trade partners. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean he wants to weaken Canada—it could mean he sees the WEF-aligned globalist agenda as the real problem.Rather than dismissing these changes, we should take a step back and analyze what’s really happening behind the scenes.

If Trump is challenging globalist control structures, is that a bad thing for Canada, or could it actually be an opportunity? If Canada continues aligning with WEF policies while the U.S. shifts in a different direction, will we be left isolated or dependent on a system that doesn’t serve us?

These are the questions we should be asking.

The Future is Not Yet Decided

The first step is understanding the difference between real leadership and control.

The second step is asking questions and refusing to accept top-down policies without debate.

And finally, the third step is supporting alternative solutions—whether that means independent businesses,

decentralized finance, or leaders who prioritize freedom over control.

The future of humanity is not something to be dictated—it is something to be created together.

It’s time to move beyond fear-based control and embrace a new era of empowered, self-sufficient, and truly free societies.

With clarity and strength,
