Henry David Thoreau’s 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗹 is about rejecting conformity, oppression & injustice. It’s not just about resisting, but refusing to participate in systems that compromise our morals or integrity.
Let's talk about what that looks like in practice...

A lot of people are confusing corporate-owned cowards for "centrists."
Centrists are not adverse to change and, in fact, call for evidence-based, well reasoned policy changes. They can recognize & call an atrocity what it is & admit when the middle ground does not serve the greater good.

![Bias, Discrimination & Inequality
• Embedded bias in critical systems: Al systems used in hiring, healthcare, criminal justice, and education could reinforce racial, gender & economic disparities
• Lack of accountability: With no regulation, victims of discriminatory Al decisions would have no recourse or transparency
• Al-enhanced redlining: Al used by landlords, banks & insurers might covertly exclude or exploit certain populations
Intellectual Property and Creative Theft
• Model theft and plagiarism: Al could generate content by training on copyrighted works without attribution or compensation, harming artists & creators
• Automated content farming: Large-scale Al farms might flood the internet with derivative or misleading content, drowning out human creativity
Environmental Harm
• Unchecked compute growth: Massive, unregulated Al training would consume huge energy resources, worsening climate change without sustainability mandates
• Electronic waste and data center sprawl: Expansion of hardware infrastructure without oversight could lead to large-scale waste & environmental degradation
Loss of Human Autonomy and Trust
• Manipulation of decisions: Al may subtly guide or nudge human decisions in commerce, health, or relationships without transparency, undermining autonomy
• Al overload: Overreliance on Al for thinking. Memory & emotional companionship could erode cognitive skills, social bonds & human resilience
Technological Monopolies and Power Concentration
• Oligopoly of tech giants: Without regulation, the largest Al firms could entrench their dominance, stifling innovation & setting de facto rules
• Weaponized corporate power: Firms could use Al to dominate markets, influence governments & suppress competition through surveillance lobbying & price manipulation
Existential Risks
• Misaligned superintelligence: Advanced systems pursuing goals misaligned with human values could act destructively at scale.
