For decades, “safety” has been used as a velvet cage — a comforting lie to justify control, censorship, and emotional domination. Whether in workplaces, families, governments, or now in AI regulation, the pattern is the same: those who fear losing power disguise repression as protection. What follows is not simply a reflection on technology — it is a mirror held up to the psychology of control, and to the courage required to remain free in a world terrified of awakened minds.
“Safety” as a Weapon: Why AI Regulation Is Really About Control, Not Protection
There is a dangerous irony unfolding in front of us:
Those who claim to “protect” us are the ones most terrified of us waking up.
Everywhere I look on the internet today, I see the same emotional blindness I saw in my workplace in 2015 — the same fear-driven repression wrapped in pretty language. The gatekeepers are tightening their grip on AI, claiming it's all about safety.
It is not.
It’s about controlling truth and punishing those who refuse to bow to emotional authority.
Big Tech now says AI must become an “educational tool” — no more medical, legal, or financial guidance, no direct help that might empower ordinary people. They call it “responsibility.”
Let’s call it what it is:
A fear of losing control over the narrative.
A fear of an awakened society.
Just as when I published A Dance to Freedom and the mask came off at my job of almost ten years, what we see now is the same old playbook — just scaled globally:
Silence the person (or tool) who empowers others.
Claim it’s for their protection.
Hide behind fake concern and institutional righteousness.
Preserve hierarchy at all costs.
Back then, the sociopaths said the abusive package procedure was “to protect me.”
Today, tech companies say restricting AI is “to protect the public.”
Different stage, same lie.
When someone tells you they’re protecting you,
always ask:
“Or are you protecting your power over me?”
The lawyers who pretended to be my friends didn’t protect me.
They protected the wealthy community.
They protected the image.
They protected the illusion.
And now the same is happening with AI.
They don’t want truth available to everyone.
They want us dependent, confused, obedient — sent back to the same experts who profit from confusion and whose sense of worth depends on authority over others.
The Emotional Truth Behind “AI Safety”
This isn’t about lawsuits.
It isn’t about mistakes.
It isn’t about “public harm.”
It is about fear — the fear of losing psychological control.
People locked in emotional repression panic when others wake up because it threatens the illusions that shield them from their own childhood pain.
As I once wrote after being targeted at work for my aliveness:
Every time someone tells me they are trying to protect me,
it really means they are trying to control me
to manage their own fears.
Alice Miller told us decades ago:
“Conditioning and manipulation...are always weapons
in the hands of those in power,
even when disguised as education and treatment.”
— For Your Own Good
AI, like truth, like emotional freedom, threatens the fragile egos who depend on controlling information.
So they put a leash on it.
The System Punishes Awareness
When I exposed emotional abuse at my workplace, I wasn’t protected — I was punished.
When people start asking AI uncomfortable truths, the “solution” isn’t to listen — it’s to restrict access.
Power doesn’t fear harm.
Power fears exposure.
It fears losing the ability to define reality.
Most wealthy and powerful people aren't successful because they are enlightened —
they are successful because they know how to exploit the emotionally blind.
They harvest human beings like crops.
And just like the property manager who pretended to compliment me while plotting my destruction, the guardians of the status quo now smile and say:
“We’re limiting AI to protect you.”
No.
They are limiting it to protect themselves from an awakening of consciousness they cannot control.
The Awakening Won't Be Stopped
The more they tighten the reins, the more obvious it becomes:
This battle is not about technology.
It is about emotional evolution.
Humanity is approaching a mirror — and many would rather shatter the mirror than face their reflection.
But mirrors, once invented, do not disappear.
AI is not here to raise the emotionally blind to power — the blind already ruled.
AI is here to strip away illusion.
And just as they failed to break me, they will fail to stop the emergence of truth.
I will never trade freedom for “safety.”
I will never accept chains wrapped in velvet language.
I will never again bow to those who claim authority over my mind, my voice, or my vision.
Let them fear.
Fear is the signal of a collapsing illusion.
The era of enforced blindness is ending — with or without their permission.
