Is There Hope For Kenya?

I hated marking "Like" on this, but I'm sure you are (as usual) right. Once things are closed they tend to stay that way.

There is a pseudo psychological reason for this, @Doug Hamilton

I learnt it while I was doing a six month course on Political Science prior to my first term as MP (Member Of Parliament) in 2000.

You see, a ban stands a very plausible chance of getting reversed within the first ten years of it’s enactment. When twenty years pass, chances drop by 10%. After thirty years pass, chances drop by 40%. Once the forty year mark is crossed, chances drop by over 60%.

The reason is simple. An entire generation is growing up (i.e graduating schools & universities and getting into professional life) by seeing the ban and thus they are being (consciously or subconsciously) conditioned into believing that what’s banned is immoral.

That’s why the vast majority of Indians are now against legalizing hunting again. Because hunting got banned there 54 years ago and now almost two generations have grown up (with some approaching retirement age) being indoctrinated against hunting.

Kenya stands a slightly higher chance, because bird hunting (namely guinea fowl, francolin, rock pigeon & knob billed duck) is still legal there. But still, big game hunting has been banned there for 49 years. And there’s a huge population of Indians in Kenya. And then, there’s the European (particularly British) “Eco Warrior” big brother type neocolonialists who consider it their moral duty to “Protect the naive Africans from the ecological horrors of hunting”.

Don't count on it.

AI is compromised. Sometimes I have literally evidence to support my case and when pressed and given more information it will change his whole opinion. There are parameters build in that lets AI run between a certain spectrum.

I cannot find a really good article explaining this that I read recently why a lot of answers from AI engines are "woke." Short answer because it is trained, literally, and punished when it didn't have the "correct" answer so it learned to gave the answers the engineers wanted. Those engineers were social engineers who "corrected" the answers that AI originally gave.

All the big AI companies have them. They are the equivalent of diversity officers but then for AI.

Ai summarises the knowledge on the Internet. Therefore the more woke nonsense there is, the more woke nonsense AI will spout. There is also strong evidence that it self samples. AI has already produced so much information that it outweighs all the previous data on the web. It now uses its own self created information to justify its new conclusions.

There is a thread about this, on the forum.

Not entirely true because it selects certain knowledge because of parameters being set by humans. It doesn't just summarize the internet.
There is a reason it has it limits, it is set that way.

Letting everybody believe it is objective and cannot lie is the goal but do not let yourself deceived.

Yes, it is true the more woke content there is the more he uses that but that doesn't mean that it has no parameters that can be cleverly and are strategically are being set. Use it wisely but do not use it as the only source.

Kenya is a sad story and one we should learn from. That is not the model for Africa conservation.

Great--but it would be nice if they could clear the land mines left after the war....
