  • Who are you interacting with?

    We have to consider much ethics regarding this system of deep fake, augmented reality, artificial intelligence “personalities” / “masks” system.

    What are the real issues to address? Competing for limitations of resources? Over population from time technologies?

    Ethical compliance is that the “end users” and all participants shall only use this technology (optical lenses, audio devices, and sensory devices that harness deep fake, augmented reality, artificial intelligence) with HONEST, FULL, BLATANT, COMPREHENSIVE disclosure and consent. The user and participant shall have access to individualized and personalized “settings” in which the experience can be customized. (Example: “I would like to know my location, I would like all deep fake masks turned off, I want to opt out for 24 hours) The user shall be able to opt out of the use of such technology at any time and for any reason.

    There needs to be a neutral and unbiased governing body ensuring no atrocities occur. The governing body needs to also hold a high priority to make sure people’s basic needs are met (all participants and all involved) without discrimination: Real food, real water, real sleep, real shelter, real sex (and the right to abstinence and individual preference), real hygiene, the right to social belonging and acceptance of individuality within the peer and family group, the right to safety – psychological and physical.

  • African Masai Tribal Technique: Ethical Response To Child Misbehavior and Unacceptable Behavioral Deviations

    Author: Sean Macken

    Date: 1/30/24

    This may be a worthwhile technique to (first of all – accurately preserve) study and/or duplicate as an ethical technique to handle child / kid misbehavior / unacceptable behavioral deviations.

    When a child does a wrong action, or misbehaves, the tribe, as one collective entity, embraces the child with love, with feelings of belonging, and acceptance.

    Through such a ritual, the tribal bond is built so strong and of perceived importance, that the individual will make choices (out of his/her/it’s/they/them/his/her/its personal freewill) that continue to strengthen the tribe’s homogeneity and, thus, reinforcement of socially acceptable behavior and norms.

  • Bnei Manashe, Nagas, and the N word.

    “Nagas” refer to divine or semi-divine, half-human, half-serpent beings found in Eastern mythologies, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism, who are guardians of treasure and reside in the netherworld called Patala. The term can also refer to a group of Tibeto-Burman peoples, a Tibeto-Burman language, or a Hindu mendicant of a specific sect.

    Nagas in Mythology

    • Appearance: They are depicted as human-snake hybrids, living beings with serpentine lower bodies, or as entire serpents, sometimes with human heads or a many-hooded cobra canopy over their heads.
    • Role: They are powerful, often benevolent, protectors of hidden treasures and magical knowledge, living in an enchanted underworld.
    • Cultural Significance: They hold significant cultural importance in many South Asian and Southeast Asian cultures and have been revered in rituals for thousands of years.
    • Key Figures: Important figures include Shesha, the divine couch of Lord Vishnu, and Nagaraja Vasuki, who served as a rope in the churning of the Ocean of Milk.

    Other Meanings of “Naga”

    • Ethnic Group: “Naga” also refers to a group of Tibeto-Burman peoples living in the Naga hills of India and parts of Burma.
    • Languages: It is also the name for a family of Tibeto-Burman languages spoken by these peoples.
    • Hindu Mendicants: In India, a “Naga” can also be a member of various Hindu sects who are mendicants, or ascetics.

    Cultural Connections

    • India: Many cities in Kashmir, such as Anantnag and Verinag, have names with the “Naga” suffix, indicating the historical presence and influence of Naga culture.
    • Southeast Asia: Dynasties in places like Manipur, India, and the ancient kingdom of Funan in Indochina claimed their origins from unions with nagas or their female counterparts, the naginis.

    The Bnei Menashe and the lost tribes of Israel

    The strongest claim to biblical descent in the broader region comes from the Bnei Menashe, a community on the India-Burma border with roots in Tibeto-Burmese ethnic groups.

    • Lost tribe of Menasseh: The Bnei Menashe are a community of about 10,000 members from the Chin, Kuki, and Mizo ethnic groups, among others, who claim descent from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel. The movement originated from a tribal leader’s dream in 1951.
    • Ancestral claims: The claim is reportedly based on local traditions about an ancestor named Manmasi or Manasia, interpreted as a connection to the biblical Manasseh, son of Joseph. Some members have embraced Judaism, with Israeli rabbis having visited the community.
    • Not a Tibetan or Burmese claim: It is important to note that this is a specific claim from a community that lives on the borderlands, not a belief common to the Tibetan or Burmese populations as a whole.

    Here is some of my theory of what crime is. Crime = eye for an eye.
