The Whole Is Greater

A note on the use of A.I. in building this website, and an invitation to try it yourself.

A Note on the Use of A.I.

In the summer of 2026 we believe that the front line models are not only a repository of factual information but also have a "feel" for the state of the world because they have been fed almost the entirety of the global internet. They are also trained to operate logically. I have tried to employ these skills in the cleanest way possible.

In my use of A.I. I have never used system prompts of my own such as "you are a helpful assistant and an expert in…" Perhaps the providers of the cloud models I have used inject something between myself and the model that would produce a bias in their responses. I don't know. All I can say is try it yourself — paste the four statements of my "lens" into any front line model and see where it takes you.

The Lens

  1. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
  2. Ancient societies were able to produce fantastic architecture.
  3. Money is not capital. Capital is the extra added to the whole that makes it greater than the sum of its parts.
  4. Capitalism is the process of harvesting that part.
