Larry Ellison on AI Surveillance Systems

Oracle founder and multi-billionaire Larry Ellison cheerfully claims that an extensive artificial intelligence-based surveillance system can guarantee the 'best behavior of citizens' and ensure control over disobedient populations. Autonomous drones could provide not only the escorting of offenders but also constant surveillance combined with other AI means for those whose behavior is or could potentially be threatening. By the way, Larry Ellison has surpassed Amazon owner Jeff Bezos to become the second richest person in the world with a fortune of $206.5 billion.

Feelings You Must Forget

There are feelings that cause you discomfort and, moreover, can harm your life. They destroy your relationships, your inner comfort, confidence, and motivation. Feelings you must forget: 1. The feeling of belief in the ideal. There is nothing ideal in the world. It's impossible. Everything can be made even better. Without the absence of an unattainable ideal, there is no striving for perfection. Otherwise, it leads to degradation. 2. The feeling of loneliness. This feeling is unproductive, and consequently, it is laziness. Laziness is the absence of desire. Without desire, one can only be lonely. It's a paradoxical feeling.
