"Kill Lindsay Clancy"......Done......Kids safe

I basically know nothing about Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, I do know a thing or two about computers. One of those things is that each one of us, including dogs and cats, functions as a computer, some more rudimentary than others. I also know what it feels like to “lose it”. Millions of people have “lost it” at one time or other during their lives. People don’t like to admit it, let alone talk about it; but it is true nonetheless. 

I became aware of the Lindsay Clancy alleged murder story and trial on the day that a mistrial was pronounced/declared. It is one of those sad situations where everybody is right, but those who understand that fact, dare not speak out for fear of “outing” themselves. Lindsay Clancy was insane when she killed her two children. She was insane when she threw herself out the window.  

The Prosecutor argued that Lindsay Clancy knew right from wrong when she killed those children. The prosecutor is right, believe you me. The problem is that when you are insane, right and wrong SWITCH places! You can still differentiate them, but they are inverted. As a result you become extremely SCARED! YOU LOSE IT. When Lindsay Clancy looked into the eyes of those smiling little ones, she most probably saw mortal danger towards herself. She saw unmitigated evil, the type portrayed in horror movies. She lashed out in an effort to eliminate the danger to herself and to humanity. She was trying to escape. She genuinely believed that by killing them, the danger to herself would be eliminated. But alas, even after they were dead, the evil kept coming at her. That is why she threw herself out the window. She probably did not intend to kill herself, but to escape; or at that point she had reached the conclusion that the only way to escape the evil was by killing herself. You see, she is being tried now, after the episode has passed. She now knows that she was insane, because there is no way that her darling little ones could have been evil. She misses them, perhaps very badly. For some reason that we do not know, something triggered the insane episode. But now she has to explain her behaviour. So she has to find a “rational” explanation; one that can be understood and hopefully, believed by those who were not “there”. So she goes for the easiest explanation “I heard voices telling me to kill them!”

If Lindsay Clancy had a “kill” switch and if she was not alone with defenceless children at the time, the “kill” switch would have been flipped. Those children would probably have been saved. This brings us to the question of incorporating a “kill” switch into the AI models that we develop. One can only hope that the experts who have alerted humanity to the danger of AI without guard rails, do get listened to, and taken seriously, very seriously indeed!   

A rather frightening scenario

 If the United States were to fold its arms and say: I've had enough with the Strait of Hormuz, I am going back home", how would the world react if soon thereafter, they (the US) blockade the Bering Strait and demand tolls from anybody wishing to access the North Pole?  Would India, China, Japan tolerate such a scenario?

Just thinking... 

Botswana Television (BTV) translation into Kalanga language

 I happen to speak Ikalanga language, Tjililima dialect. I have been under the impression that the month of October is Mbudzi, meaning "goats"; and that November is Zhedzi. I notice, however that BTV's translators have their translations switched around, with October being Zhedzi and November being Mbudzi. 

Would someone with good understanding of why the months are named as they are, please explain what exactly the month of November has to do with goats. In closing, I think it would be a good idea to have translators cycled/alternated in order to avoid giving the impression that the North East Botswana dialect of Kalanga is the OFFICIAL version in Botswana. From my experience the version of Kalanga spoken in Serowe is among the most ancient versions of Kalanga in existence. 

Blimey! Blighty right here at home?

We have seen an affinity between the nations of Bakhwe (Bushmen) and Batshaina (Chinese); between Bakhurutshe (Russians) and Bahumbe (Belarussians). A similar affinity exists between Bayengi (English) who are Anunnaki era nurses and Bayela (Greeks) who are Anunnaki era enumerators. The English/Greek affinity is exemplified by among others, the marriage of then Princess Elizabeth to The Greek Prince Phillip; (I dare say) the erection of Greek South African president Nelson Mandela’s statue in Westminster! So, why would this English/Greek affinity exist only in Europe? Surely it must have started in Africa?

As a matter of fact, it did. The informal Kalanga name for Bayela (Greeks) is Baka Habangana, literally meaning “enumerators”. Their typical village in Botswana is called Ka-Habangana, some ten to fifteen kilometres from the Botswana/Zimbabwe border, where the “Cape Town to Cairo” railway crosses the joint border.

Next to Ka-Habangana, by some five kilometres, is a village called Nlapkhwani. The pronunciation of Nlapkhwani, even by its inhabitants hides their true identity. They are English! Yes, black like late Uncle Bob Mugabe on whose doorstep they reside! Just imagine it: “Toni Bleya’s” people, some of whom may be on the Zimbabwean side of the border even as Uncle Bob watches from the comfort of Saturn’s moon Titan, where he probably now resides!

The anatomy of the mispronunciation is quite simple. The name stems from the Kalanga verb “ku lapa” meaning to medically treat someone. Ku lapkhwa is to be treated. So here is the catch: Lapkhwani, with the impact/emphasis laid on the final “ni” as is done today, renders the word lapkhwani as a question – being treated for what? However if the emphasis is transferred to the “pkhwa”, the word lapkhwani becomes an instruction – get treated! This is who they are – the nurses! Thus, the people of Nlapkhwani village are undoubtedly the English. Did good old Phandu know this all along, I wonder!

Africa's second slave trade.

 This time around the slaves “apply” for visas, are vetted, and fly to their destination – America. They are “white” and are known as Afrikaners.

Actually, it’s not the second but the third African slave trade. The second slave trade is depositing its human cargo at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

Some of the captors in both the second and third trades hold yearly meetings in Addis Ababa, while others conduct human extermination battles in Darfur, Goma, Juba, Khartoum etc. [Expletive]!

Kgosi (Chief) Khama IV, don’t be a coward!

 In 2011 you held a meeting at Mathangwane Kgotla in your then capacity as President of the Republic Botswana. At the meeting you were asked by one Damien Uwe Hobona to state how you intended to treat his grandfather Hubona Nshakazhogwe’s private land in your land audit.

Mr Damien Hobona claimed that your government, through the Tribal Administration of which you are now head, knows that his grandfather was awarded the land through a colonial British Court order following the illegal assault occasioning bodily harm that your great grandfather visited upon Hubona around the year 1914. You were with the Lands Permanent Secretary, one Thato Raphaka, who claimed not to know anything about the said land.

Now a great injustice is being done to Hubona’s descendants. The stolen land is being overpopulated with squatters; the intention being to render Hubona’s descendants a minority on their grandfather’s land, the better to kick them off the land.

So Kgosi Khama IV, don’t be a coward! Come and explain to all and sundry, what you as Bamangwato Kgosi know about the said land, given that your father, late Sir Seretse Khama was born on the said Hubona’s privately owned land.

Taiwan defines China; just as Catalonia defines Spain

 In my mind I can almost visualize an old Chinese individual, still able to speak or at the very least understand, the Kalanga language, laughing at my ignorance. To him/her my ignorance is manifest in my recent post regarding Taiwan being possibly so named by the gods! To him/her I sincerely apologize and accept his/her scorn. I had not given the Kalanga name Taiwan(a) enough thought.

The name Taiwan, together with its capital city Taipei, both define what it is to be Chinese. The two associated Kalanga verbs are:

Ku wana, which means to find or to obtain.

Ku piya, which means to pack (a well).

Recall that China is actually “Tsha ina” meaning “dig for water”. The Chinese are the human workgroup that was responsible for digging for water as the name “Beijing” (people of the water well) so aptly describes. So the declaration “Taiwana; Taipiya!” means “We have found/struck the water, and we have packed the well!” Surely you couldn’t be more “Chinese” than that.

Those who are not very young will remember one Carlos Pugdemont, a resident of the Spanish region of Catalonia, who led a movement of cessation from Spain. The movement was defeated and Pugdemont spent years in exile somewhere in Europe. 

Well, in the same way that Taiwan defines being Chinese, Catalonia defines being Spanish. The only difference is that in Taiwan’s case, the language used is pure, unblemished Kalanga, while in Catalonia’s case the language is Kalanga corrupted by Sumerian/Arab/Sotho/Tswana.

The Kalanga prefix “Ka” before a name means “Home of”.  Ka-Trump means USA; Ka-Putin means Russia, Ka-Xi Jinpin means China, Ka-Boko is synonymous with Ka-Yours Truly, etc. And so Catalonia should be read “Ka-Tang lo wo nya”.  The phrase “Tang lo wo nya” is Kalanga, corrupted by Sumerian/Arab/Sotho/Tswana, and meaning “Come and sh!t”. Similarly, Barcelona should be read “Ba tsile go nya”, also corrupted combination of Sumerian/Arab/Sotho/Tswana and Kalanga, meaning “They have come to sh!t, or they are coming to sh!t”.

Viewed in the context of “Espania” being Kalanga for “Isa panya”, meaning “to take (someone) to the loo” one begins to appreciate why Catalonia defines Spain.
