Special bonus column to celebrate spring coming to the northern hemisphere.
As we move towards an increasingly ‘post human society’ where you can argue the most important and critical component in our greater society will be the potential of something so off the beaten path. Yet how the billions of humans should be thinking about this subject will have a defining presence in the future world. The subject of Data poisoning and data nutrition will be of paramount importance in greater society.
I have stated that A.I/algorithms/robots/machines are now the ‘First Citizen’ and humans are the secondary citizen soon to be third. In some cases the humans are tertiary on the depth chart now. What do these citizens need….. DATA! Humans need clean food and water. What happens if the food and water is poisoned? Folks get sick. So if the data is poisoned what happens to a A.I/algorithm/machines they will be sick just like us humans.
We are betting and banking our future on this new citizenry. It behooves what is said here to be on societies forefront!
Our whole future economy is being based on data. I watched the NFL playoffs on wild card weekend and it was all about analytics aka data. The ‘health of data’ is something that needs to be a top priority of our society. Much decision making is based on data is quote unquote scientific.
Data is being viewed as a security blanket as well. It is looked upon as doing the right thing and being infallible. Now what if this data is poisoned? On Yahoo today 1/12/26 I saw a cheese recall! Now riddle me this…Can there be a data recall??? Can data be poisoned? Isn’t this a probability? What will be done when data is poisoned? Can there be a recall of this data? Are all you out there going hmmm… Well then that means this column is completed.
PART 2
There is no turning back! I know I am not the only one who didn't give this much thought! Our society is overloaded with information and other things that in 2023 something unprecedented in history took place and in 2025 the next step happened! As a society nationally and globally we have crossed a chasm. All of us is now are in the epoch of unprecedented.
What I am alluding to is the year 2023 was the first year that other than human media/content was completed and in 2025 the artificial/bot output was the majority! That's right more than us humans! The majority of what you are viewing online is what the Digerati calls synthetic!
We are in a time of synthetic/fake/machine derived media/information/content. Silly -Con - Valley has taken global society to a new destination. Our culture now is being fed by mostly machine output! Please pause and deliberate for a moment this weekend.
What was just said should have been on the front page of the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times and all broadcast news. It could have been but since for the most part I do not read the NY Times, Wall Street Journal or Financial Times anymore I would not know. I also avoid Broadcast news.
Now what does this mean for education? What does this mean for daily reality? I say we are outsourcing our mindset which means you are outsourcing your reality! I then pose the question what does this mean going forward? Does it mean anything…or will people not notice and for that matter give a hoot?
In closing, for me this symbolic ‘religion of convenience’ dominating our life and lifestyle! In 2026 which I have labeled the year of Humanity, I feel this question needs to be asked at the highest levels of society. Please join this conversation

Now what will your mind allow you to do?
Every human person needs to do something towards the production of healthy food, clean air and water. Of course, some will do more than others, and it needs to be done outside the conventional system.
Bezos has stated that he wants all Amazon operations (warehouse and more) to be run by AI/robotics with minimal human staff. Think of the number of lost jobs!
