The Great Worker Replacement? Trump Admin Turns to Humanoid Robots for Productivity

December 9, 2025

By Selwyn Duke A quarter-century ago, Sun Microsystems cofounder Bill Joy wrote the jarring essay, “Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us.” He warned that new technologies threatened to make humans obsolete (if not endangered). Now that future is nigh.
Christian Revival: Is (Once?) Woke Silicon Valley Coming to Jesus?

March 29, 2025

By Selwyn Duke When it was alleged in 2023 that the message “Jesus died so you could live” was labeled “hate speech” by Facebook, it perhaps was not surprising. Two years later, however, something else surely is. Christian code has entered Silicon Valley, we hear, and may be supplanting its notoriously secular programming. Apparently, man does…
AI Researcher Quits; Says He’s “Pretty Terrified”

January 30, 2025

By Selwyn Duke It’s easy to call warnings about artificial intelligence (AI) “sensationalism.” (So many things today are, after all.) In fact, when I told a “terrified” ex-AI researcher on X yesterday that I was writing a story about the alarm he sounded and had questions for him, another respondent — an author, it turns…
The Fakery That is the War on Fake News

January 27, 2025

By Selwyn Duke Is it true that one man’s misinformation is another man’s salvation? Or is it actually true that what man censors is sometimes God’s sublimity? Author and university lecturer Nolan Higdon may not be pondering anything so ethereal. What he is sure of is that, as he wrote Sunday at Salon, the “war…
Biden Warns of Tech “Oligarchs” — Now That Tech ISN’T Censoring for Dems Anymore

January 18, 2025

By Selwyn Duke As I had on many other occasions, in 2020 I warned of a “dystopia-delivering tech oligarchy.” I cited Dr. Robert Epstein, a liberal who’s the senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology, and his studies on Big Tech influence. His findings were alarming, too. Big Tech, he warned, could…
X Marks the Plot: “Defenders of Democracy” Trying to Destroy the One True Social-media Democracy

October 24, 2024

(Image credit: Beatchoose/Wikimedia Commons) By Selwyn Duke We hear continual warnings from the Establishment and the Left (and the overlap there is profound) about “attacks on democracy.” Donald Trump, of course, is supposed to be a “threat to democracy.” Yet it all appears like projection. Why? Because the self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” are now aiming…
Cell Phones Have Been Called “Digital Heroin.” So, Should We Ban Them in School?

October 11, 2024

By Selwyn Duke “There was a time, not that many years ago, really, when we would actually get into an argument because we didn’t want to answer the phone,” quite funny and mostly clean comedian James Gregory once said during an act. “It’d be like, ‘You get it; I got it last time!’” Boy, the world sure…
Study: Conservatives’ Lies Cause Their Higher Social-media Suspension Rates — So Keep Censoring

October 3, 2024

By Selwyn Duke Conservatives, let not your heart be troubled. You are being censored more on social media than liberals are, a new study has discovered. But the researchers can help you solve the problem because, they say, they have identified it. You. The study has “found,” you see, that conservatives endure social-media suspension more…
The LEGAL Election Rigging That’s Stealing Our “Democracy”

September 25, 2024

By Selwyn Duke There’s much talk today about “threats to our democracy.” Yet do you know that foreign entities such as China, Russia, and Iran are feeding mis- and dis-information to the American electorate in order to influence our political outcomes? When the USSR did this (without having social media as vehicles), it was called…
