pigtail & breadfruit: AI & Our Mothers

from pigtail & breadfruit

This episode examines AI not as a thing or a problem in and of itself, but rather as an imbalance in the types of knowledge we have allowed to define what "intelligence" is. It sees AI as a system not just intelligence, but also a system of rewards and benefits that has validated and encouraged a certain kind of intelligence within the society, the education system and within us. Its opposite, the symbol of an alternate intelligence is that  of "the mother", especially, the Black Mother. (Though this is not "officially" the first episode of the podcast, it is an early peak into it in the attempt to address a trending, and important topic.)

Bounty by Sir John Barrow Loyal Books On December 31 1787, the HMS Bounty, a small sailing vessel embarked from Spithead Harbor, England bound for Tahiti. Her mission was sponsored by the Royal Society in London and aimed at picking up breadfruit plants and fruit from Tahiti and conveying them to the West Indies, where it was hoped they would take root and become a commercial crop. The Bounty was an old ship with a young captain and 46 young officers. The captain's cabin was converted into a potting shed for the expected breadfruit cargo. He was quartered in a cramped cabin next to the men. In Tahiti, the crew suddenly found themselves transported into an exotic land, rich with strange and delicious fruits and food, country made liquor and beautiful women.
