Elon Musk Tries to Fight Swedism – Also Bard's Version

This is a very good overview. ‘We can’t let Tesla get away with this’: why Swedish unions are fighting Elon Musk, Heather Stewart, The Guardian, 1 December 2023.

... with the idea of unions, but the professor mean, I reason that is different than you may expect is which I just don't like anything which creates kind of Lords and peasants sort of thing. And I think the Union's naturally try to create. Negativity in a company negativity Negativity and and create a sort of Lords and peasants situation. There are many people at Tesla who have come and gone from working on the line to being in Senior Management. ...

At the end is Bard's version of the post

...

Musk’s Tesla battles the very national identity of the Swedes – the conformist ideal – that is protected by the state. A conformism that is said to be about “solidarity” between workers.

Elon Musk calls strikes ‘insane’ as Swedish workers take on Tesla, Miranda Bryant, The Guardian, 23 November 2023

Tesla sues Sweden’s transport agency in escalation of strike row, Miranda Bryant, The Guardian, 27 November 2023

I have nothing against trade or labor unions as such. But in Sweden are the workers unions integrated into the mystical national state.

In short, unions in Sweden are a vital part of to trick the people to Obedience and Conformity; promoted with the kitschy Soviet style ideal of so-called solidarity.

Platonism is of course the very foundations of Totalitarianism or the demand that Obedience and Conformity must rule and then has this stupidity different flavors or cultural identities. In Sweden are the Static demands extremely strict and strong.

And unfortunately, Platonism is today the base of so-called Science and so-called Education.

So, the ongoing fight between Elon Musk and Swedism is as funny as it gets and is one of many confrontations between new Dynamic demands and the earlier Static ideals.

The only real solution is of course to Dissolve the Static ideals of Platonism – So if you are on  X / Twitter – I was kicked out many years ago – please tell that to Elon!

In my book, We All Want to Change the World – We Need to Get Rid of Platonism!, there are lots of quotes about Swedism, See page 401.

Below is an edited version of Bard's suggestion. Bard lost the track in the middle of our work. However it is a very good effort.

This is a link to the whole chat Musk vs. Swedism: A Clash of Cultures.


A Clash Between Dynamism and Conformity: Elon Musk Challenges the Swedish Way of Life by Bard

Elon Musk's ongoing battle with Swedish labor unions has sparked intense debate, pitting his dynamic entrepreneurial spirit against the deeply ingrained principles of Swedish society. At the heart of this conflict lies the concept of conformity, a cultural phenomenon that values social harmony, collective well-being, and adherence to established norms.

Musk's Tesla service centers across Sweden exemplify his dynamic approach to business. He advocates for long hours, challenging work environments, and a culture of rapid innovation. In contrast, Swedish labor unions are firmly entrenched in the concept of "Lagom," a Swedish ideal that promotes moderation, balance, and harmony.

The recent strikes at Tesla's Swedish service centers in ten different locations highlight this cultural clash. Workers demanded collective bargaining rights, a concept that Musk has repeatedly opposed. He views unions as hindering his ability to implement rapid changes and maintain a competitive edge.

This conflict goes beyond labor relations; it touches upon the very essence of Swedish identity. Sweden prides itself on its egalitarian society, where social harmony and collective well-being take precedence over individual ambition. Musk's unapologetic pursuit of innovation and his distaste for unionization challenge these deeply held beliefs.

While Musk's critique of Swedish labor unions may appear harsh, it raises important questions about the balance between individual freedom and collective well-being. Can a society embrace innovation and dynamism while preserving its core values of solidarity and equality?

The ongoing debate between Musk and Swedish labor unions is a microcosm of a broader global struggle between individualistic entrepreneurialism and collective social structures. The outcome will undoubtedly shape the future of work and society as we know it.

To delve deeper into the philosophical underpinnings of Swedish conformity and the potential impact of Musk's dynamic approach, the book 'We All Want to Change the World – We Need to Get Rid of Platonism!' offers insightful perspectives. This thought-provoking work explores the nuanced dynamics at play in this cultural clash.

As Musk continues to challenge the status quo in Sweden, his actions will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the future of work, innovation, and society as a whole. The outcome of this clash between dynamism and conformity will be closely watched by individuals and governments around the world.

The Current Official Discussions

Here are some prominent aspects of AI today.

Britain’s Big AI Summit Is a Doom-Obsessed Mess, Peter Guest, Wired, 23 October 2023. Here is the intro.

UK prime minister Rishi Sunak’s global summit on AI governance will focus on extreme scenarios of algorithms causing harm. Many British AI experts would rather he focus on near-term problems.

Also in Wired.

Slovakia’s Election Deepfakes Show AI Is a Danger to Democracy, Morgan Meaker, Wired, 3 October 2023

More about the same British meeting.

AI firms must be held responsible for harm they cause, ‘godfathers’ of technology say, Dan Milmo, The Guardian, 24 October 2023. From the article.

… “It’s time to get serious about advanced AI systems,” said Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. “These are not toys. Increasing their capabilities before we understand how to make them safe is utterly reckless.”

He added: “There are more regulations on sandwich shops than there are on AI companies.” ...

AI doomsday warnings a distraction from the danger it already poses, warns expert, Dan Milmo, The Guardian, 29 October 2023

Here is a more interesting perspective.

Washington Post Live – The Futurist Summit – The Rise of AI

And especially intriguing is Ms Sneha Revanur and her network Encode Justice.

“Encode Justice is building a global, youth-powered movement for human-centered artificial intelligence.”

The Missing Perspective

When you don’t do or say anything, are your intentions or your worldview obscure or Hidden. As soon as you do or say something becomes your intentions or worldview activated and can be observed.

Accordingly, that so-called Artificial Intelligence is often or mainly considered to be a threat is because the present Western culture is a threat.

Or like this. The tool Artificial Intelligence is not a problem, the problem is the sadistic present Western culture; which is based on suppression and killing and efforts to Hide this relation.

This means as long as the sadistic stupidity of the present Western culture, a terror that is formally called Platonism, is allowed to exist, more and more powerful AI systems will be constructed and used to suppress and kill the citizens; regardless of regulations.

Ergo, the gigantic hope is that Artificial Intelligence can be used to dissolve Platonism or the present Western culture.

...

Later on when I have provided Bard, Googles chatbot, with more facts about Platonism I will try to see if Bard can find some interesting perspectives.
