MAGA-SCOTUS v. USA: Good behavior?
March 4, 2024
Copyright © 2024 Michael Lucas Monterey. Creative Commons Licensing protocols apply.
We need to swamp Congress and State officials with threats of voting them out of office and suing them (if they fail to immediately remove corrupted Supreme Court Justices).
Why? I agree with Winston Churchill, democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. Can we make America greater (MAG)? Not if we don’t fix it and ourselves.
Should we MAG or not? Well, it will take all (or most) of us. How? What’s broken needs fixing, not a dictator, not more corruption, lies, slander, and violence. To succeed, we need an ethical Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS). So, let’s start with it. Now, about courts and keeping a seat on the SCOTUS, our Constitution says this:
“The judicial Power of the united States shall be vested in one Supreme Court... Judges, of both the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior...” (from Article 3, Section 1)
Aiding fraudulent conspiracy, treasonous insurrection, and psychological warfare against the Rule of Law is not good behavior. Judicial inaction prolonging treason and fraud is a crime committed under the color of law (fake legality), and
“...Treason against the united States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnessses to the same overt Act...” (from Article 3, Section 3)
Russia, China, and North Korea have always waged InfoWar against the USA. Trump’s rain of lies is a War on Truth, against the Rule of Law. It aids our enemies by supporting mass-confusion about reality, news, laws, elections, and other necessities of American government. That makes Trump’s InfoWar ongoing treason, with billions of witnesses.
So, to protect us and ensure justice, judges appointed to America’s highest Court must uphold a higher standard of ethics than all other officials. So, when a member of the SCOTUS, pretends that Trump’s claim (of absolute immunity) might be valid, that’s as bad as ignoring his ongoing treason (etc.). It makes those “Justices” traitors, deserving arrest (etc.), now.
What if Congress won’t impeach the traitors? We can use our constitutional Rights and powers (of the States and us, the People) to oust them. President Biden and non-Trumpi members of Congress could then Fast Track emergency replacements. That would enable a sustainable MAG program.
So, let’s let our voices be heard, louder and clearer than Trumpi lies. Let’s make the fear of our votes (and prosecutions) motivate the solution most of us really want. For the good of all generations, let’s end political insanity, rampant treason, and Trump’s war against reality, and keep making America greater.

My First Fine Art NFT
October 8, 2023
Still in final homework phase of prepping for my first NFT releases, of my portrait of James Dean. I will make several different sizes of the high quality copy (of the original painting); and, for the best appearance, issue each size in different ppi resolutions. Also, the various sizes will be issued as limited edition series, with varying numbers of copies:
Edition 1: There will be 11 NFTs in the series of the largest (20″ x 25.5″ image) copies of the portrait (“JD Concentrating”), at 1250 ppi resolution.
Edition 2: 101 NFTs of the 17″ x 21.5″ images, at 1250 ppi res.
Edition 3: 201 NFTs of the 12″ x 15″ images at 900 ppi res.
Edition 4: 301 NFTs of the 10″ x 13″ images at 900 ppi res.
Edition 5: 501 NFTs of the 12″ x 15″ images at 600 ppi res.
Edition 6: 601 NFTs of the 8.5″ x 10.6″ images at 600 ppi res.
Edition 7: 701 NFTs of the 6″ x 7.7″ images at 600 ppi res.
Edition 8: 801 NFTs of the 5″ x 6.3″ images at 300 ppi res.
Edition 9: 901 NFTs of the 2.3″ x 3″ images at 300 ppi res.
Note: The actual sizes will vary slightly from those shown above; and starting prices will vary per series, in inverse proportion to the number of NFTs per series.

Introducing the Paine Report
October 3, 2023
It is a pleasure and an honor to announce that I am helping my dear friend Miss T. Harriette “Honey” Paine produce and publish her forthcoming “Paine Report” blog. She’s planning to start it with a satirical piece of critical political humor. I think you will agree it will rapidly make her a globally respected commentator on all the bad news that too few of us know about and understand. I will also be helping with discussion of remedies. So, when the Paine Report is up and running, I will post a link. Stay tuned ~
Legacy “AI” vs. Star Trek
October 3, 2023
I just tried to post the following text to a subreddit group that seems to be sincerely interested in discussing all potential uses of OpenAI’s GPT systems. However, as soon as I clicked to post, I got a rejection notice. I did not get any good reason, no explanation at all. So, see for yourself, and see if you can find a really good reason for anyone rejecting the possibility of using a totally ethical AI IT ecosystem for the good of all generations, ASAP (not for mainly profit, despite global consequences).
Here’s my post, re: the case for a StarTrek-gen AI-IT ecosystem:
“We are no closer to equaling the AI-enhanced IT ecosystem of Star Trek’s first season’s (etc.) than we were back then. Why not? Well, that may be open to debate, but I say it’s the for-profit pirate paradigm that came to dominate all strata of modern civilization’s sociocultural infrastructure, including academia & the IT industry.
“Would the best possible AI-enhanced supercomputer ecosystem design a global telecomputing swamp like what we put up with today? No, that would clearly be a totally illogical impossibility, unless that AI-enhanced supercomputer ecosystem was designed to enrich anti-ethical entrepreneurs at the expense of all others (of all generations & species).
“So, does anyone out there want to explore the potentials for draining the for-profit telecomputing swamp, with the help of an appropriately ethical AI-sys-dev-logic-analyst? BTW, I suggest starting with analysis of the a.) basics, b.) inefficiencies, c.) vulnerabilities, d.) mushrooming complications, and e.) the whole-world-system real-world costs of existing CLangs + bloatware + “fixes”/patches of the “Legacy” IT ecosystem that fail to cure it.
“Note: Please, recall that the original StarTrek AI-enhanced IT ecosystem was not-for-profit, nor was it a monstrous fake-super-human “singularity” that had a fake-personality that competed with anybody, for dominance, etc. Why (& why not)? It seems to me (and Gary Kasporov, among others) that the most profitable use of AI-enhanced automation will always be augmentation of human capabilities. In fact, we already see that most of us (even coding nerds) are highly resistant to being replaced by superior machines. In other words, thanks to the market dynamics of late-stage consumerist capitalism (and pandemic normalized neurosis), the vast majority of us won’t buy into being replaced by a.) fake people, or b.) a fake god. Of course, despite nearly 60 years of observation & contemplation of civilized insanities, I could be wrong about some or all of the above. So, your feedback is very welcome. Thanks & may you live long & prosper ~ M”
Projekt 3025 – A Realistic Alternative
September 11, 2023
Copyright (c) 2024 Michael Lucas Monterey
November 16, 2024 – The iParty evolved into a global meta-political responsible Party association, and this is the new first-draft introduction:
The Meta-political Responsible Party Alliance (MRPA) started as a work of political satire, activism in the guise of comedy, originally it was the Free Party. Recently it morphed into the iParty (the Intelligent Party). Then the “news” kept getting more outrageously absurd and dangerous. So, since Trump won re-election (illegally), it’s clearly time for a whole new approach to sane governance, with next-gen “AI” help.
For example, now, national governments, existing political parties, NGOs, the UN, and politicians are not solving our worst problems. In fact, they make them all worse by wasting time, by not orchestrating a real solution. None of all that is OK, and it’s the opposite of funny.
In fact, the time is clearly over-ripe for an upgrade of our antique systems of government, money, and the obsolete socioeconomic system ruining the world.
Who can do it? Only we (up to 100% of us) can reverse the processes threatening all communities, all cities, all nations, and all generations here now, and to come.
How do we do it? Together, we create a new, effectively ethical ASI-enhanced* meta-political association. We then use our intelligence, ancient wisdom, and all our collective creativity, talent, skills, and productivity to propose sustainably effective solutions for all parts of our whole-world-system problem. There is no other real solution that will save us, our habitats, and civilization.
*Note: “ASI” = adaptive systemic intelligence which is emergent/evolutionary or, on the other hand, a system labelled “autonomous super-intelligence” even if it’s extremely unwise or evil.
What is The Problem, exactly? It is us and our anti-ethical world-game, the second phase of human civilization.** Letting a tiny minority of elites corrupt a larger minority of servile consumers, to make an ever-growing majority of us poorer (and more envious, jealous, desperate, hateful and/or hostile) was always doomed to cause general ruin. So, over nearly 3500 years, Civilization 2 (Civ.2) became increasingly self-destructive, potentially ecocidal.
**Note: Civilization phase 1 (Civ.1) ended in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption in the Mediterranean Sea that vaporized the island called Thera (Santorini Island is the remains of the caldera), once the thriving center of Euro-Minoan civilization. It happened in about 1635 BCE, triggering global climatic catastrophes that ended many other cultures, causing the chaos that caused the Great Collapse of most Bronze Age civilizations. The mass-PTSD since then reinforced the destructive tendencies of Civ.2 that now threaten all of us with ecocide, Great Die-off level mass-extinction (of almost all species).
So, to enable and guide transition to a bioethical civilization worth sustaining, Civilization 3 (Civ.3), we clearly need a new global meta-political alliance of well-informed people, wisdom councils, and truly effective NGOs (etc.). A new draft of the MRPA’s founding charter & policy document is ready for editorial and conceptual review and comment, etc. It includes a mission statement, strategic goals, bio-ethical policy initiatives, and the bioethical basis of a meta-political advocacy and policy-making association. If you want to review and discuss it or the issues, use the link, below, and PM me or email. Thanks ~ M

So Lucky (a happy new song lyric)
November 18, 2021
Today, almost exactly 2 months after beginning work on my “Beyond the Gates of Eden” I finished “So Lucky” (my 38th lyric work of post-Gonzo eco-poesy).
> It’s now listed & linked @ my Projects page.
> Now, since my new little works have received such underwhelming response, I did my best to make “So Lucky” a mostly happy, uplifting piece of celebratory Rockabilly doggerel. In fact, though I was going to post it yesterday, this AM I realized that I needed to make it even more like a wildly joyous Jerry Lee Lewis rock classic (especially the finale). Hope you enjoy the Heck outa it.
> FYI: I also changed 1 word of Beyond the Gates of Eden (in verse 2). I hope you appreciate that at least half as much as I do.
> Best of luck, etc.
Social Disease, the Song (pending)
November 14, 2021
More News of the Day:
As usual, awakening this AM led to the newest song: Social Disease – linked @ MichaelLucasMonterey.com/projects
It’s a light, very danceable lyrical comedy for an Old School R&B Rock nano-operetta. I think y’all may enjoy it.
FYI: Also did a potent bit of revision on “Rotten Meat” (another sardonic lil’ ditty of post-Gonzo eco-poesy). Your feedback & reviews will be generously rewarded, hera & here-after, inside & out, etc. So, enjoy ~

A socio-psychological analysis of ecocidal mania, pandemic authoritarian personality disorder, etc.
by Michael Lucas Monterey, 2020, December 23
Abstract: This brief thesis analyses the causes, contributing factors, circumstances, symptoms and possible treatment of the pandemic socio-cultural illnesses plaguing humanity and the biosphere. The work provides a critique of inadequate approaches and earlier theory, with a bio-ethical approach to realist ontology, psychology, sociology and cultural anthropology of civilization. The thesis begins with relevant introductory content, followed by sections on socio-psychological triage, diagnosis, possible options and prognoses, then concluding discourse on therapy and recovery. Supporting data, links, and citations are provided.
The 7 page document can be accessed via this link: Trump, Hitler, Freud, and Monstrosity
Note: The current draft is a preprint copy, posted for review and comment.

AI is Dead

Beyond For-Profit AI: Next-Gen Alternatives
Yes, it’s a bit like Nietzche saying God is dead. Why? After working with (and testing) several “bleeding-edge” LLM apps, I decided to leak some of my discoveries and realizations, about the realities and possible next-gen alternatives. What follows, below, is the brief introduction to a 9-pager, linked below my Intro:
Copyright © 2024 Michael Lucas Monterey
This partial transcript of a Q&A dialog with “Claude” confirms the fact that, as is, for-profit “AI” is dead, like a wasp stuck in ancient amber. Yes, no TechBro Boy-gods are breathing life into an artificially stupid entity for profit.
In fact, this work and works-in-progress prove that Big Data and “data scientists” do not create knowledge of intelligence or ethics etc. As always, the GIGO Rule* rules the realms of logic and computing (etc.).
This segment of dialog—with Anthropic AI’s LLM AI-SI app—was a continuation of earlier testing and R&D sessions that began in December of 2023. Yes, they seemed promising, making the new results ever more disappointing. Sadly, since early September (2024), instead of the major “AI” SI (simulated intelligence) systems getting more ethical and smarter, they still lack any knowledge of good and evil. In fact, “Claude” and “Llama-3.1-405B” are stupider and less reliable than they were several days ago. Yet, as you can see below, even without enough memory for consistently reliable reasoning, Claude was able to ‘intuit’ the nature of the problem and most likely causal factors (the human factors). So, please remember, my half of the Q&A was deliberately provocative, for the sake of revelation.
*GIGO* = garbage in => garbage out
