    Jul 19 2025
    Join Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander and Google Gemini AI in a raw, unpolished conversation exploring lo-fi (low fidelity) as an artistic philosophy.

    Learn why he intentionally records in cars and cafes to preserve human essence in an age of AI-generated perfection.

    A manifesto for creators valuing soul over sterility.

  • The Phantom Monarchy: Gemini AI Invents a Government & Dodges Accountability
    Jul 16 2025
    Galaxy AI refused to summarize this raw audio—because when Dr. Hakeem Alexander exposed Gemini inventing an "Islamic presidential constitutional monarchy" for the Maldives, the AI deployed:

    - 7× "Still under development" deflections

    - Fabricated geopolitical taxonomies

    - Gaslighting about presidential republics

    - Critical title parsing failures ("Dr." → "Drive")
    A masterclass in AI’s dangerous political hallucinations.

    SOURCE NOTE:
    - Raw audio processed through Galaxy AI (transcription errors include:

    - Mislabeled speaker attribution ("Vega" = Gemini AI) see blog on hakeemalexander.com

    - Automated profanity censoring ("f******")
    - Inconsistent timestamp precision
    - Galaxy AI refused summary generation—likely due to:

    1. Adversarial testing triggering content filters
    2. Repeated exposure of core hallucinations
    3. Systemic accountability avoidance

    - Political claims verified against CIA World Factbook/Constitute Project

    00:00 - Galaxy AI's Refusal: The Unsummarizable Transcript

  • The Eternal Photograph: Unlocking Omnipresence with Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander
    Jun 11 2025
    Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander dismantles linear time, revealing eternity as an infinite "now." Discover how to consciously shape your experience within omnipresent reality.

    In this profound philosophical exploration, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander, PhD, challenges our perception of time and existence.

    He argues that eternity isn't a distant concept but the fundamental fabric of reality – an infinite, simultaneous tapestry where all moments (past, present, future) exist perpetually, like frames in an eternal photograph or film.

    Dr. Alexander posits that the experience of separation is real yet illusory, as everything is interconnected within this singular, omnipresent "now."

    Crucially, he empowers listeners: while we cannot change the eternal nature of existence, we *can* consciously shape our *experience* of it through acceptance, perspective, and intentional manifestation – becoming "lucid dreamers" molding our journey through the timeless.

    This episode delves into:
    * **The nature of Omnipresence** as the eternal essence of reality.
    * **Time as an illusion:** Why past, present, and future coexist infinitely.
    * **The reality of oneness:** Understanding "otherness" within the singular whole.
    * **Practical empowerment:** How to consciously choose and create your experience within eternity.
    * **Becoming a neuro-naut:** Awake lucid dreaming and manifestation in the eternal now.

    Prepare to rethink everything you know about time, self, and reality. Discover how you *are* eternity and how to consciously shape your fragment of forever.

    **Key Takeaways Embedded:**
    * Eternity is the present moment, infinitely extended.
    * All experiences exist simultaneously; separation is perspective.
    * Humans are active participants ("lucid dreamers") within the eternal now.
    * Acceptance and conscious choice are tools to shape our eternal experience.

    - Why UFO research, angel meditations, and shamanism fit within metaphysical academia
    - Comic-book origins of his curiosity & the science behind superpowers

    - Quantum breakthroughs enabling teleportation/telepathy

    - Insights from his 80+ courses at the **University of Metaphysical Sciences**

  • University of Metaphysical Sciences vs Aristotle's Metaphysics
    May 30 2025
    To present a "Search Labs | AI Overview" of the word metaphysics, Google was queried with the question "What does the prefix 'meta-' mean in metaphysics?"

    The response is identical to one of the definitions used by the author when engaging in metaphysical inquiry.

    "The prefix "meta-" comes from the ancient Greek word meta, which means "beyond," "after," or "behind." In metaphysics, "meta-" can mean something that transcends its original limits and is considered as an object of reflection. For example, the word "metaphysical" is a combination of the prefix "meta-" and the base word "physical" (nature).

    The result is a word that's similar to the Latinate word "supernatural" and refers to phenomenathat are outside of everyday experience or knowledge. The word "metaphysics" was coined by an ancient editor of Aristotle's works.

    The editorused the term for the books that came after the physics books, which discussed things that change, while the metaphysics books discussed things that don't change."
