Dear Fellow Earthlings:
Here in Installment 628 (a follow-up/continuation of Installment 627), let’s imagine it’s the year 2027 -- and things have taken a turn for the better!
Since this is but a single blog installment (albeit a follow-up to Installment 627 from December 11, 2025), I’ll keep it short. AND I’ll wrap up on an optimistic note.
(I HAVE PLACED THE FOLLOWING 10 ENTREATIES INTO THE MOST CRITICAL-TO-THE-“LEAST”(THE TERM USED LOOSELY) CRITICAL ORDER!!!!!!!!!)
1. Let us follow the 5 directives (See installments 256, 257, 524, 525, 526, 537.). What is wonderful is that if we recognize how money should be conceived, then we will be able to see how its 4 functions can meld themselves into the 5th function — with its prime directive of “Do no harm.”: Money is a matter of functioning five: a medium, a measure, a standard, a store, and a vector (operating under the prime directive of “First do no harm.”) to keep Earth alive.
2. We’re going to look at the political situation — in other words, how humans deal with one another. Leaders must lead the way. They must meet, travel to one another’s areas, and agree to agree. People just don’t seem to care how much damage results from their disagreements. Therefore, they must trust, drop their weapons, forget past hatreds, and help each other!!! But ALL the leaders need to be present, transparent, and transformational. AI can help so much just by translating and interpreting! Either we all share everything or we will end up with nothing! Even for those humans who believe that our “true treasures” are in the afterlife, if we take moral, decent, kind, tolerant measures, we can avert a great deal of the strife of THIS life. “Business as usual” MUST end immediately!
3. Tolerance must be exercised. We must train ourselves to be able to accept differences, and to rejoice in them. If everything adheres to the same norms and standards, diversity disappears. When diversity goes, then we have only uniformitiy, Uniformity is not the norm of the universe. True stability of any system depends on an admixture of constancy AND change. Tolerance must be guided by trust and training. The trust aspect opens our ears, minds, and hearts, to concepts of empathy and compassion. The training aspects refines us into beings who possess abundant amounts of both. AI can facilitate this training.
4. Fuel sources must be considered. Indeed, some might argue that they are the key to solving our problems. I have placed them in the 4th position because — for better or for worse — AI needs fuel, living things need fuel (in the form of sunlight and various “precious nutrients) NOW! NOT LATER! However, as quickly as possible we humans and AI must work to increase the efficiency of the drains both AI and humans are making on our non-renewable and renewable energy sources so that the non-renewables can eventually be put aside — and the renewables can be utilized more efficaciously.
5. We’re going to look at Earth’s average temperature: The very technologies that are being either utilized or being considered for utilization to bring about the 1.5°C limit will need AI assistance to achieve it. Naturally, then, we must have AI formulate ways to make kitself less energy starved. Steve Walker must intervene here: STOP ALL WEAPONS AND OTHER MILITARY RESEARCH AND INSTEAD USE ALL AI AND “HI” (HUMAN INTELLIGENCE) IMEETLY!!!! (that is, IMMEDIATELY). There’s not a second to waste!
6. “The 3Rs” is a principle known to many people. Here, I am referring the "The Three Rs for Earthsaving" (which I first mentioned in Installment 536).
Recognizing Quickly: Unfortunately many people STLL have not yet recognized the multifaceted problem we are dealing with!!!
Reacting Quickly: IT’S TOO LATE to react quickly — but please, please, please, please, please react from now!!!
Rectifying Quickly: Oh, if only it were that easy! But, speaking for myself, I’ll try to “save Earth” until I die.
(The 3 Rs of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, , a guiding principle for waste management and sustainability is another “3Rs” set related to Earthsaving, — as are ‘REPLACE, REDUCE, REFINE. The old “3Rs” of “Reading, wRiting, and Rithmetic (SIC — that is, “aRithmetic”), although not familiar to many younger people, can also be used for saving Earth, if used appropriately.
7. The reasons why part of the world’s human populations are aging too quickly while others are reproducing too quickly are well understood and need to be addressed. But IN THIS MOMENT, our exercise of tolerance, justice, and our abilities to manage Earth’s average temperature are the keys to bringing about a more favorable mix of the young, the older, and the old! AI can be used, in carefully considered increased increments, to facilitate all this.
8. The philosophical question of whether unity is better than diversity is not easy to deal with. But in this blog, it IS easy. We are so close to the frayed telomeres of life becoming either totally disentangled (implying a solution) or in total disarray (implying confusion) is not an ideal way to deal with the dilemma of dealing with the consequences of the migrations of Earthlings and other ‘Earth-things” to faraway places or to out-of-the way ones. Rather, what we must consider are such questions as the following:
"Is it better to have a small herd of inbred sub-species rather than chalk up another species to extinction?"
"Should we expect non-native speakers of Japanese to speak Japanese with word loudness instead of post-positions to express emotion?"
"Is it sensible to justify the extinction of a language by having attittudes such as: "My cultural language may be gone, but at least my DNA legacy lives on!" ?"
Should these considerations mollify the concerns of would be Earthsavers?
9. We’re going to look at biodiversity: AI allows us to categorize all living things and to determine their genomes as well as the environments to which those genomes should be assigned. Kit allows us to track events that are worsening Earth’s pre-human interference dynamics, too. Furthermore, kit provides means for enforcement to reduce, restrict, or (ideally) eliminate wanton human-created destruction to Earth’s life forms. After AI expedites solutions for other problems, we can direct kit to restore, rebuild, renovate, reconceive, rescue!
10. Finally, considering the previous nine points and working with them, can we be confident that they are, in the main, going to amount to advancements, to improvements, and to our
levels of happiness?
Let’s make good things happen in 2026.
