H.D.E = Human Disposal Epoch
The Decline of Human Agency

For the protection of humanity going forward:
All A.I products need to have a independent human impact statement just like mining/oil companies must have a environmental impact statement. The A.I is using the human no differently than an oil or mining company does oil or coal.
Simplicity was a beautiful thing. It was just fun! Everything didn’t have to be monetized. Fun is now fewer and far between for folks. Fun is innocent…. It is random not scheduled… It is unscripted! It wasn’t for entertainment which is scheduled! Fun is expression and exhilaration of the moment. These diabolical alien types that are from Silly - Con - Valley have now made everything about monetization aka work not play. It is called the Creator Economy. I will bring back the old statement… ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY. I call this ‘the burnout economy on the island of delusion’.
The problem with what has been labeled ‘The Creator Economy’ is that increasingly less and less human activity is taking place. More of the internet material is now increasingly bot work! All what is taking place is to feed the Digerati’s children aka A.I and Algorithm. YOU MUST ACCEPT AND UNDERSTAND THAT STATEMENT,BECAUSE IF YOU DO THEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO SEE A DIFFERENT REALITY! The human aspect of the job that Silly Con Valley needed is coming to a conclusion and is moving to another phase. The human element will increasingly dissipate as their children continue to feed themselves on what is called ‘synthetic data’ as time moves forward. I am stating here a new punitive phase is imminent for the human specimen!
You may have noticed there has been immense layoffs and 2025 college grads still trying to get employed, sitting in their bedroom or basement. If we use Amazon as a proxy the H.D.E aka Human Disposable Epoch is upon us. The human species will be in a battle for relevancy against the machine class being activated by The Digerati.
The human has been used by the Digerati ‘under the guise of innovation’. I have made this my ongoing thesis in all my published writings. Amazon has delivered the message. Also, a robot that can do house work is being placed in the market place early so it can learn that much faster. The cost per month is the key for me….. $499.00 per month. That is 125 per week. Even your cheapest maid can’t beat that price. Now of course this first robot will not be the best! However, just extrapolate five years with all of the experience the company will get while monetizing this Defacto training period.
For me this is a monumental moment in human history that we are experiencing. The moment is to be remembered just like November 2022, which was the beginnings of ChatGPT. Now in October 2025 the home robot! Headline: You Can Order This Robot Butler, On DigitalTrends.com. The company called 1X Technologies has introduced A Robot called NEO which can do chores around the home. The company has opened up this machine for pre orders. You can now put down a $200 non refundable deposit followed by a payment of 20k when it ships in 2026. You can pay a monthly 499.00 for a minimum commitment of six months. This is a ten year culmination. The specs say it stands 66 inches and ways 66 pounds. It has a four hour charge , can lift up to 154 pounds and carry objects up to 55 pounds. What is striking to me most of the robot products have been geared towards the workplace. This represents the pathway to the home.
The economic, psychological, sociological, financial and the labor aspect needs to really spoken about by the people. If you just acknowledged and listen to the Digerati’s “P.R puff pieces’ you will be not prepared for the impact! Investigative journalism has plunged with Silly -Con -Valley manufacturing ‘puff pieces after puff piece’. I will do some quick math here: If the minimum wage is $15 dollars per hour x 40 = $600.00 per week. The one robot is 500.00 per month! Look at the massive savings! Do you not think this will happen? Don’t you think many will look at that cost savings and roll the dice… Of course. Now apply this to the labor aka job market! The new innovation for the next decade will be the removal of the human labor cost from the books of business! This is the next boost of the corporate economy… the arrival of robot labor! See my column on post labor society below
The question for everyone to ask themselves where do they fit in the equation? More importantly where will the next generation fit in? What of your skillset? How will you compete against your fellow human, but more importantly how will you compete against A.I/Robotics? The level of competition has expanded…. Exploded! Human beings lives just became a big giant question mark! As I always say the politicians won’t be able to help you because they are part of the problem. Those who are open minded please do not run to those charlatans that talk out the side of their various mouths! We are at a critical chasm for the human being. Please be awake and not distracted in this moment. Your future is now.
On a historical basis this reminds me of two moments in recent history which have had a profound and direct impact on American lifestyles that gets lost in the storm of the D.D.C aka Distract divert and confuse. The two moments are August 15th 1971 and Nixon going to China Feb 21 -28th 1972 when he became the first sitting president to visit. In August 1971 Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold which broke down the Bretton Woods system set up post WW2. Him going to China set up the next five decades of exporting middle job and factory jobs for everyday Americans. The decoupling of the dollar started this permanent inflationary spiral which has raised the ‘cost of existence’ for everyday Americans.
By the 2000’s middle class was disappearing but folks didn’t connect those dots. The U.S.A corporations sold the American worker down the river! We went from a manufacturing to a service economy which hollowed out the American economy. Now we have gone to what has been labeled the creator economy/influencer economy and now the A.I/machine economy. This is a further hollowing! You got to ask yourself what do these people do with themselves? How does this impact our society going forward?
The basis of the creator economy is the music business. How secure is that?? Only the top five percent make it there. So I must say to you….what has been truly done to the economy? For me Hollywood showed us… You are living in the ‘Hunger Games’.
China during that time was leaving an agricultural economy. Which Mao had labeled the ‘Cultural Revolution’. China wanted and needed the west know how. China offered us cheap labor and cheap consumer products… That what was really taking place upon reflection. The affects were not so obvious then, but now fifty years later it is very self evident.
____________________ Addendum 2/17/26________________
So I see this headline on techcrunch.com: Spotify says its best developers haven’t written a line of code since December, thanks A.I. The co-CEO Gustav Soderstrom, came alongside other comments about how the company is using AI to accelerate development. Apparently they have an internal system called ‘Honk’ to speed up coding and product velocity. The system is set up for remote, real time code deployment using generative AI, and specifically Claude Code according to the article. An engineer at Spotify on their morning commute from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature. Once Claude does it the engineer gets the new version of the app, pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so it can be merged into production, all before they arrive at the office. Now pause and digest for those that are tech wonks.
Now please put on your thinking cap on… The robots and A.I by 2035 will be much more self evident. The profits will come from the activation of the robots to minimize costly human labor cost. Any new factory will have minimal human workers. The trend is not human friendly. In my assessment it is hostile towards the human being! In a decade due to speed element of A.I and with the robot brain projected to be much more superior… You see what is not so obvious. You will have to make massive adjustments. I suggest you start now.
-‐————————- Addendum 7/8/26———
So apparently in Hollywood workers are taking A.I training jobs to pay the bills. A.I companies according to Indeed.com job postings in the arts rose from five to eleven percent from May 2025 and April 2026.
My conclusion and closing statement when will folks realize they are the genius behind what is called A.I not The Sam Altman’s! I have personally moved on. This illusion being sold to us as these entities rip the human output is just a Glorified Bezzle! It is a grift with all graft.
To make folks see what is going on remember at a job how folks didn't like training their replacement….How that made folks feel insecure in the corporate hierarchy… Why can't folks see they are training their replacement now? Is it because the machine can't walk up to them and shake their hand or sit at their desk? It behooves folks to update and upgrade their thinking cap.
This is just the classic long term tradeoffs for short term paycheck. Numbers of humanity will be a casualty of this silent war on humanity. The agenda for declining human agency is right in front of you via the A.I epoch. The two go together! AKCIDENTALWRITER out…..

Now what will your mind allow you to do?



Thanks for this excellent article/warning. I have been thinking about this problem of the AI future a lot in the past couple of years. I teach stop motion animation to primary school kids, in the hope that they will have at least an absorbing hobby to fill their off-time. I’ve also just sent off my novel set in the 27th century that I wrote to discuss what kind of human society might develop, what it lost and what it gained. I am less despondent than you but I agree that the world needs to be warned and watchful.
such humble truth, written in uniquely unique language. Refreshing.
i was just thinking about the hunger games today. Then you mention them again.
HDE is yet another fab acronym AK
