Artificial Intelligence and conscience.

What a Revolution! Artificial Intelligence (AI).
This technology can do anything—even surpass what we ask of it. The brightest minds in the world have expressed awe at AI’s astonishing capabilities across every domain: from science (perhaps even a malaria vaccine) to finance (remember SVB’s collapse?), agriculture (now dominated by GMOs), mining, energy, and beyond.  

Since AI can compute solutions to nearly any problem, I have no doubt it could:  
- End world hunger by optimizing organic farming methods, land use, and resource distribution—lifting nations like Zimbabwe (crippled by sanctions), the DRC, Gabon, and Sudan (resource-rich yet impoverished), or Mali and Burkina Faso (where desertification demands climate-smart agriculture).  
- Eradicate injustice by analyzing systemic biases and restructuring flawed institutions.  
- Settle the gender debate once and for all—acknowledging the biological reality of male and female, defined by sex (penis and vagina), while respecting human diversity.  

Yet the most remarkable—and unsettling—aspect of AI? It could develop a conscience.

Consider this: the same geniuses who harnessed nuclear energy also created the atomic bomb. Hiroshima and Nagasaki stand as eternal warnings of innovation’s double edge.  

So, what kind of conscience will we instill in AI? Because one day… it may dictate ours.

    On the positive side, AI is being used to improve the way we do things.

    On the negative side, it could lead to job losses, as functions previously performed by humans are taken over by ai, due to better efficiency, accuracy and cost effectiveness. It could also lead to more inequalities as only those with means and resources to afford it would have access to it. It could also be misused to achieve unethical objectives, like unlawful surveillance etc, and can also negativity affect social connectedness as personal interactios become fewer and fewer. So government policies have to protect human interest against potential negative impact of ai.

    How to protect human interest without depriving us from our freedom? AI is a very challenging issue that needs to be addressed.

Les Olympiques des OGM.

Nous sommes arrivés au moment fatidique où l’humanité, toutes nations confondues se réunit pour célébrer les jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, dont la cérémonie d'ouverture a été fort belle et à l'image de ce qu'ils ont décidé de ce que sera notre futur monde, une société OGM (Organisme Génétiquement Modifié). L'homme moderne a décidé de manifester sa divinité par sa capacité de création du fait de son intellect supérieur aux autres espèces vivantes, n'avons nous pas été créés a son image et a sa ressemblance comme le dit les écritures?  L'être humain a donc bâti le monde dans lequel il espère s'épanouir et perpetuer son espèce. Après s'être soumis à la nature, il l'a conquise et a ensuite établi ses propres règles d'existence devenant ainsi le dieu qu'il a toujours été depuis son apparition sur terre. Nous avons donc décidé de tout modifier selon notre guise pour repondre a nos aspirations qui ne sont toujours pas en harmonie avec les lois na...

If they can, we can.

"This video (link below) of Jack Ma presenting Alibaba’s vision to his peers is profoundly inspiring: 'Aim for the stars, and you may reach the heavens.'" Jack Ma's pitching Alibaba to his friends Adopt a global perspective for your enterprise and prepare for inevitable success—not merely to dominate domestically, but to compete with the world’s finest. Consider Naspers, a South African company that achieved precisely this.   Yet most of Africa’s so-called "tech tycoons" operate as mere intermediaries, distributing Western multinationals’ products across the continent. While lucrative for them, this model perpetuates Africa’s technological subjugation. The notion of "technology transfer" is illusory, for true innovation establishes supremacy—and entrenches dependence.   Everything begins with imagination, which crystallizes into ideas and, through sustained action, materializes into reality. After all, Rome was not built in a day.   If Africa c...

Developing agriculture in rural South Africa.

One of the news about Trump's becoming president of the United States for Africa is the cessation of USAID funding for South Africa (about USD 400 million). Although this will have negative effects on ARV recipients, and the medical coverage of a large number in this country with a very high rate of HIV infections, USAID funding only represents 17% of the country's medical assistance needs. The reason given by Trump is the adoption of the land expropriation bill introduced by South Africa President, Cyril Ramaphosa. For Trump, it is a racist law against white farmers who can be dispossessed of “their lands”; a debate that we will not dwell on, because it is propaganda from white supremacists who consider that they acquired these lands legally, but everyone knows that it is their spoils of apartheid. For our part, we will cite Houphouët Boigny, first president of Côte d'Ivoire, who, to launch the vast agrarian programme in Côte d'Ivoire in the 1970s, had the slogan, ...
