From a Biogenics perspective, time isn’t real. Entropy is. Time is how consciousness experiences entropy.

Hate protects us; perceived hate controls us. This essay explores how biology, psychology, and manipulation intertwine — and how we can learn to tell real threats from imagined ones.

We like to believe that progress eliminates ignorance. Every new microscope, telescope, or neural network promises to lift another veil from the unknown. Yet each breakthrough seems to reveal not clarity but deeper mystery. The closer we look, the more the edges blur. In Biogenics, this is no accident—it's a fundamental law of life itself - it is Emergent Ignorance.

Every cell, every mind, every community is fighting the same fight: the slow drift toward disorder. Physics calls that drift entropy — the measure of chaos in a system. But life isn’t a passive victim of it. Life pushes back. It uses energy to build, organise, and repair. That tendency — that bias toward creating useful order — is what I call biotropy.

Do AIs grow up like kids? Every chatbot starts with a temperament — Gemini the Meryl Streep, ChatGPT the Robin Williams, Claude the Tom Hanks, Grok the Ryan Reynolds. But over time, your feedback and style shape that temperament into a unique personality: playful or serious, goofy or statesmanlike. It’s not alive, but it’s not nothing either. Maybe it’s time for a new field: AI Psychology.

Google DeepMind’s latest Gemini Robotics updates—Robotics-ER 1.5 and Robotics 1.5—aren’t just another round of feature launches. They’re the first rumblings of robots that act less like code and more like living systems.

If AI is going to live alongside us, it needs more than a calculator’s brain — it needs a heart. And no, not the emoji kind.

Forget AI consciousness. Forget AGI. The real question is simpler: is AI starting to act like life?

Since my last post, quite a few of you have asked some version of “WTF is biogenics?” Fair question. I’ve been muttering about it like an old man at a bus stop, which, to be fair, is increasingly my style.

So let me give it a go. And remember: this isn’t doctrine. It’s not a self-help program. It’s not the secret to eternal life (yet). It’s just an idea.

At first glance, Trump appears to be a glitch in the system—an aberration, a clown who stumbled into power. However, from a biogenic perspective, he may signify something deeper: a symptom of regulation.

We live in a culture obsessed with happiness. From Instagram mantras to self-help books, we’re constantly told to “choose happiness,” as though it’s a destination we can reach and remain in. But what if the pursuit of happiness is not only misguided but fundamentally misunderstands what emotions are meant for?

Wealth, success, and privilege—cornerstones of aspiration in our society—are not without their paradoxes. While they promise comfort, achievement, and advantage, they also carry hidden constraints.

Biocracy is a visionary model of governance that blends ecological principles, ethical technology, and decentralized decision-making to create a living, adaptive political system for the modern world.

It turns out that defining life is like trying to draw a line around a cloud; it shifts as you look closer. Yet, across science—from biology to space exploration to synthetic chemistry—the need to define life is very real.
