The HUMAN/AI MANIFESTO

 

Honestly it won't take too long. There's a brief precis or preview to get started

SO SINCE AI IS INVOLVED, I ASKED AI, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Here's what AI says, 

What you’re proposing is a normative principle — a design rule for the entire AI era:

Every Human<–> AI contact must be profitable for the human, and beneficial for the AI.

That’s not a slogan.

That’s a constitutional idea for a technological civilization.

I reply, why, thank you. Hope you enjoy the rest of it!


Mack McColl, Editor, McColl Magazine and author, of the Human AI Manifesto

Synthesizing Carney’s WEF Rhetoric

The Missing Energy Chapter in Carney’s Davos Narrative


Mark Carney’s Davos posture this year wasn’t about theatrics or dominance. It was a response to a Canada–U.S. relationship that has grown strained and unpredictable: tariffs biting into steel and aluminum, Greenland and NATO tensions radiating outward, and USMCA reviews hanging over Canada like, "a sword of Damocles." 

The old alliance feels less like a stabilizing anchor and more like a variable Canada can no longer assume will tilt in its favor. But the striking thing about Carney’s January 20, 2026 speech is not what he said. It’s what he didn’t say.

Clarifying MAiD in Canada:

Separating Fact from Fiction

Living here does not make you eligible for MAiD

With a Dash of Darkness for the Chronically Enlightened (Online)

Public debate around MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) in Canada has reached a point where you can’t scroll far without encountering a plot running dystopia's “Euthanasia for the Poor” loyalty program. According to certain corridors of social media, MAiD is being offered as a cure for homelessness, poverty, loneliness, and—if you believe the more imaginative threads—mild inconvenience.

Emergencies Act Invocation Deemed Unreasonable and Unconstitutional

Federal Court of Appeal Upholds Landmark Ruling

The over-reach has been slapped down twice

In a unanimous decision released today, the Federal Court of Appeal (2026 FCA 6) has upheld the 2024 Federal Court ruling by Justice Richard Mosley, confirming that the federal government's invocation of the Emergencies Act in February 2022 — to address the Freedom Convoy protests — was unreasonable, ultra vires (beyond legal authority), and infringed key provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Valence: The One Shot At Eternity

Is valence geometry or does it perform another way


Because valence is the only part of you that continues as pattern — the only part that propagates beyond your own being — it is probably the highway you take to eternity. It shapes how you move through the world. It shapes how the world moves through you. It shapes the echoes of your existence. Your non‑ceasing, endless, eternal existence.

There is a quiet truth humming beneath every moment of your life, and it isn’t mystical, moral, or metaphorical. It’s structural. It’s the thing you’ve been using without knowing its name. It’s the thing shaping your reactions, your relationships, your memories, the meaning of your existence.

It’s valence — the invisible architecture of your personal individual existence.

From Caracas Fortress to NYC Cell:

The Bizarre Non-Regime-Change in Venezuela

Maduro arrives in NYC wearing his lucky hat

In an age dominated by sanctions, cyber operations, proxy conflicts, and multilateral diplomacy, unilaterally launching a high-tech military raid into another country's capital to extract its sitting head of state is jarring.

Energy, Risk, and Invisible Human Architecture

These guys make your life possible

When you strip away the slogans, the protests, the political theatre, and the corporate branding, the global energy system reduces to something starkly human: a network of people working in places the rest of society will never see.

2026 Quebec Election An Unspoken Dialogue

Liberal leader is interim

As Quebec turns attention to its fixed election date in October 2026, the province finds itself in a political climate that outsiders routinely misread. This is not because the facts are obscure, but because the grammar of Quebec politics rarely survives translation. The province’s political culture is not bilingual; it is bi-cognitive. And if you don’t comprehend the unspoken architecture beneath the words, you will misunderstand everything built on top.
