If AGI were "alive" and working today, it would take too much time and resources to learn how to overcome a quadrillion dollars being misdirected by people who fall FAR short of genius.
OTOH, ordinary geniuses ARE smart enough to seek, find, and exploit weaknesses in the coming enslavement of the world's population. I have been doing what I can. I sued the IRS to go after the 12 Federal Reserve banks for the ~trillion dollars of income taxes they haven't paid. A year and a half of litigation established: 1. There is a bit in the IRS' database that identifies various entities as being "quasi-governmental organizations", and all procedures routinely ignore these entities. THIS is how trillions of dollars bounce around within the "deep state". 2. There is NO (apparent) way of getting a listing of every entity that has this bit set, which would provide a complete map of the deep state. 3. I managed to obtain more than 100 past internal accountings of the various Federal Reserve banks, that each amount to signed confessions, e.g. that they claim every dollar they have ever printed as "liabilities" to offset the vast fortunes their owners are walking away with. 4. The "judge" is paid by the IRS. My "judge" announced out of the clear view that I would be fined if I filed any more papers - a fine I would have to pay before I could appeal it. Our country has been thoroughly infiltrated and taken over by a criminal entetprise. Thinking that an AGI could reverse this is delusional. It IS too late to correct this through legal or peaceful process. Further, there are competing political "ism" and religious "ology" forces that complicate carefully targeted methods. Violent methods would simply be bought out by the very entities that might be attacked. Waiting for an AGI to fix this mess would be just plain stupid.

After thousands of years of wars and two world wars we are still maintaining the same cyclically collapsing monetary system and we are still stuck in the culture generated by centuries of being stuck in this insane system which is bound to induce ever increasing levels of poverty, anxiety, egoism and insanity. We are living in a profoundly sick society and the next collapse comes with mathematical certainty. The two major factors are: The average person is incapable of understanding how our monetary system is destroying our minds, culture and society in every way possible while at the same time lacking the empathy it would take in order to do something about it even without said intellectual understanding. At the end of every cycle we get "leaders" like Hitler or Trump ... embodying the insanity of large-scale structural anxiety, poverty and hopelessness ... leaders who thrive on a profoundly sick societal foundation. Without the help of AGI it seems that we are bound to relive the same cyclical insanity over and over and over again ... and over-population is just a symptom of our monetary system as well ... it's mostly the symptom of structural fear and our insane concept of what a family should look like: tiny groups of people in competition with other tiny groups of people ... forever trying to protect their status and accumulated wealth against one another ... induced by structural artificial scarcity and structural competition for survival. "The few who could understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests." -- John Sherman, Rothschild http://sacred-economics.com/read-online/ On Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 3:45 AM MP via AGI <agi@agi.topicbox.com> wrote: > > We need an AGI to save us from ourselves.
