Interview with Lady Hamilton, December 8, 2025

Thanks to Lady Hamilton for the invitation to return Headmaster’s Homeroom. I come in at 17:20, but the preceding material is relevant to the themes discussed. They included:

* “Covid-19,” Psychological Operations, and the War for Technocracy;

* the digital state and the agentic state;

* digital technologies as weapons;

* most of the population being addicted to and/or dependent on their “smart” phone;

* the impact of digital technologies on children;

* AI, loneliness, and psychosis;

* the fact that AI lies and makes thing up;

* outsourcing of critical thinking to AI;

* the problematic embrace of AI in the classroom;

* a global system of direct digital control as the technocratic end goal (despite the illusion of decentralisation);

* why social credit scoring and an all-digital financial system must be opposed;

* the carrot and stick approach to getting everyone onto an all-digital system;

* from soft to hard addiction when it comes to “smart” phones;

* digital ID in the UK (partly rolled back on today, Jan 14, 2026);

* the global public-private partnership and governments’ contempt for public opinion;

* the development of technology for social control purposes;

* resistance rising globally;

* freedom of speech but not reach;

* the importance of taking personal responsibility to resist;

* Grok’s “AI assistant,” Ani, and why a “child-friendly” version of Grok is to be treated with suspicion; and

* dumbing down in education.
