It’s here! Countering the AI Revolution: preserving the arc of humanity to seed a better future, is now available to order.
As in the garden long ago, we are being offered transcendence. I submit that we are being deceived.

The puppy poasting will continue until morale improves.
Beige boy here is a gentle giant. The girls pick on him a lot. He will be a great home for a family who needs a chill dog.
Yellow girl loves water. She will make a great companion for a beach or boat family. This is how she often sleeps. She loves to dig in the water and lay on the wet towel that she makes wet.
Little boy blue and mama dog. Blue is amazing. He loves watching people. While all the other puppies are being crazy, you’ll often see him sitting back looking at you. His gaze is always up.
Cure for your kid’s digital addiction:
Wonderful family builder. New life, hard work, sacrifice, beauty, joy, and wonder.
And lots of poop. Oh so much.
Mental health tip: protect your heart and mind by pruning your follows and subscriptions (including email).
This will help remove distractions and make more time for attending to what you want.
The eye is the window to your soul.

The root certificate authority (RCA) eMedhra issue is not fully resolved yet. It will take some time to get everything updated.
Make sure you are checking your home devices for software updates. My home Wi-Fi routers just updated last night to fix this issue.
Check your “things.”
‼️ Palo Alto Networks, Comcast, D-Link, HP, Canon, Honeywell, GE, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, Digi, Lockheed Martin and Boeing use the GoAhead web server, which has been accepting revoked certificates, FoxIO says.
Its maker says it runs in hundreds of millions of devices.
The critical flaw, CVE-2026-115881, lets a stolen device keep its access where client certificates are checked against a revocation list. FoxIO does not say which products are affected.
A second bug, a 2018 typo in GoAhead's Mbed TLS builds, shrinks a 2048-bit encryption number to one byte, leaving 8 possible secrets.
Anyone who recorded a TLS 1.2 session could decrypt it, if the connecting app accepts the broken number.
Earlier this month, browsers cut off Indian certificate authority eMudhra after one of its private keys turned out to be the number 4.
A third bug lets oversized certificate chains through on older LibreSSL builds.
GoAhead fixed the first two in version 6.1.1 in August. Proof-of-concept code is public.
Any fix for their devices has to come from the 13 firms.
Hang tight. I’ll see what this is about. Don’t panic. I suspect this is just odd timing. More to come.

As the speculation grows about PHP attacks and other cybersecurity news, remember this from my FAQs last week:
We will not be hearing from the “real” cybersecurity professionals. They are sworn to secrecy and their jobs and employers depend on that. So we will have very limited information about what is really happening.
Take all reporting on what is happening live with a grain of salt. Even the commercial intel providers like Palo Alto Networks Unit42 and CrowdStrike will be very limited in what they can disclose publicly. Unit42 already retracted one story about PHP2Shell cyberattacks.
Don’t get carried away by the hype. There is tons of stored potential in this story, which is why it will be exploited by those who write the narratives.
Update coming to my article on AI and
Human Flourishing - I’m going to add excerpts from the last few pages of Milton’s Paradise Lost - where Adam tells of the lessons he learned by reviewing the history of man, and the blessing spoken by the archangel in reply.
It’s perfect.
So much to write and so little time. My hands can fly across the keyboard and I have no trouble putting out words to convey my thoughts…it’s a question of what to focus on and how to be succinct.
If you have questions or topics you’d like me to cover, best thing to do is sign up for an Essentials Membership at the PractiveSecurity website and submit them. Customers always come first. There’s already loads of content there. The “featured content” page has a list.
I’ll be keeping a pulse on “things” and will chime in where I discern the need.
You can also post questions here and I’ll do my best.
I suspect this week will be…interesting.
The AI narrative for cyber security is not what it seems.
The AI companies made models that can supposedly hack the Internet. Supposedly. Them they released them to wreak havoc.
Now they say to counter this threat, we need to use defensive AI swarms to stop the offensive AI swarms real-time.
But this is all just to facilitate training and dependency. Because if we do this, then the models - which are all made by the same companies - will be learning and adapting with each other: attack, countermeasure, counter attack, updated countermeasure etc. Each growing bigger and stronger with each iteration.
This is just an accelerant for the Revolution. Getting us to “that one model to rule them all” as fast as possible.
Or forcing us off the old system.
Three months to flatten the curve and cleanse the Internet.
BREAKING: Pentagon prepares every major US military base to operate for at least 90 days without outside electricity, fuel, water or supplies, anticipating a major war that could cripple power grids, break global supply chains and threaten critical infrastructure on US soil, per Fox News.
The plans include portable nuclear reactors, large-scale battery storage and microgrids able to disconnect installations from the civilian electrical grid entirely.

There is no amount of data collection, surveillance, or censorship that will get a child off a screen. Parents must be willing to set and enforce boundaries for their children.
There are a few of Lewis’ Weston character leading the world today.
But there are a great many more of Lewis’ Devine / Lord Feverstone.
I’ll explain more soon. Read the Ransom / Space trilogy and you will see.
