When Trump’s administration made the ‘Civilisational erasure’ comment in their National Security Strategy in November 2025– it struck me this is what AI is:
Hoovering up an incredibly diverse, nuanced, creative, imaginative human cultural knowledge and spitting it out as mono culture of meaninglessness
Converting the nutritious richness of human lived experience into ultra-processed sloppification. This is what civilisational erasure looks like.
If we allow our democracy, our heritage, our cultures, our lived experience, our lives to be monopolised by AI, we will enter the new Dark Ages
