People are being ‘zombified’ on their phones
Ouroboros, the serpent devouring itself, is a perfect metaphor for our times.
Nowadays people are becoming zombies because of their phones, but what’s worse, they are hooked on ‘social’ media.
The leaders of these social media platforms join a group of tech friends who have pushed for AI to replace human jobs, from accounting to graphic design, policing to civil service, even the postal service and journalism.
However, even though we know full well that jobs are dwindling and AI is not creating more than a handful of jobs in any given neighborhood, there has been no national debate or protest taking place.
But almost every week there are protests against Israel and LGBT groups. As people are beholden to algorithms and algorithms protect themselves, you don’t want to be distracted from the existential threat that AI and automation pose to your work and well-being.
They want you to be disillusioned with democracy, so never write to your MP. They want you to believe that the last bastion of democracy, journalism, is ‘legacy’, out of date, so you are only fed news through algorithms. It makes you eat your own livelihood, while they make money from the ads in between your reels.
Keep reading the paper, friends. Ouroboros stops with you! Catherine, London
‘We just didn’t do it,’ said the reader, regarding the preparations for war
So we all have to prepare for war? Why? What for? Sorry Mr Starmer, Macron, Merz and Rutte, we didn’t.
We know the Russian people generally don’t want war either. So why do we all have to die?
Europe was fed up with centuries of war. It’s time to look for another way. We will no longer be lions led by donkeys. Just say no! Q, Glasgow
Readers say we must ‘remember that we are part of NATO’, in the face of the threat of war
Anyone from the UK who is frightened by the Russia story, please remember: Britain is part of NATO, which includes the United States, Germany, France, Poland and others.
Russia has spent four years trying to defeat Ukraine. Russia had terrible equipment, old and obsolete, and millions of soldiers died. NATO has the latest technology, decades ahead of Russia.
Russia doesn’t stand a chance against NATO.
Putin is not stupid, he knows if he drops a nuclear bomb on any NATO country, all of Russia will be destroyed. Therefore, I’m not worried about Russia and you shouldn’t be either. Greig, Edinburgh
Our ‘jellyfish politicians’ will not stand up to Trump
Thank goodness the BBC had the courage to stand up to Trump because our jellyfish politicians wouldn’t have. Ian, Glasgow
Sarah Alcock represents the ‘ethos of dedicated medical staff’
I really admire Sarah Alcock (Metro newspaper, Wednesday), the nurse who gave up her Christmas to work in a neo-natal clinic (even though it was her first neo-natal clinic) and her husband, Dave, who has supported her. Resident doctors on strike recognize that this is the ethos of dedicated medical staff. Elaine, Islington
Christmas puns abound…
Here’s a Christmas joke for you. Why did Carol Vorderman reject a marriage proposal from Bryan Singer, US film director? She doesn’t want to be Carol Singer. George Radley, Warley
And one more…
To all my friends in the Southern Hemisphere, this coming Sunday will mark the winter solstice here and the summer solstice there.
You know what that means – I want my sunshine back!Ersire, London
