The Intelligence Revolution

Generational Checkpoint

Born before 1975? You're in the right place.

Born 1975-1980? We'll give you a few years of breathing room.

Born after 1980? Send this to your parents, grandparents, or anyone who needs to understand what's coming.

Your Briefing

Watch Episode 1

This 25-minute briefing covers the basics: What AI actually is, why it's different from anything we've seen before, and what our generation needs to understand.

The Context

We Grew Up Different

Party Lines

We shared phone lines with our neighbors. We waited until the line was clear to make a call. We didn't have call waiting or answering machines.

Fax Machines

When fax machines came out, we didn't trust them. "You're telling me a document can travel through a phone line?" We adapted.

Long Distance

Remember paying extra for calls outside your area code? Different prefixes cost money. That's the world we came from.

Our music, our movies, the 80s—amazing. But the world has changed fast. And it's about to change faster.

The Breakthrough

The Netscape Moment

NOVEMBER 30, 2022
The Day AI Became Real

Remember when Netscape made the internet accessible? When you could finally "surf the World Wide Web"? That's what ChatGPT did for artificial intelligence. It was the interface that made AI something everyone could touch.

The difference? The internet needed roads to be built—dial-up, DSL, fiber optics. AI? All those roads are already paved.

Historical Context

Every Revolution Takes Time

Agriculture

Intelligence figured out how to farm, store food, feed many. It took generations to spread across civilizations.

Industrial

Britain, 1880s. Factories had to be built, workers trained. The educational system was designed to create factory workers.

Automobile

They said cars would never replace horses. Then we spent 40 years paving roads. Infrastructure lag.

Television

Radio was instant. TV needed satellites, cables, infrastructure. It took decades to reach every home.

AI has no lag. The internet era built its roads.

The Difference

This Revolution IS Intelligence

Every past revolution was powered by human intelligence. The printing press, the steam engine, the computer—all came from human ideas.

This revolution IS intelligence itself.

We're not building a better tool. We're building something that can think, create, and solve problems—potentially better than we can. That's never happened before in human history.

Perspective Check

The Goldilocks Planet

We're Already Living in a Miracle

Right water. Right nitrogen. Right oxygen. Right distance from the sun. A moon that churns the oceans. Dinosaurs came and went. We're here.

Whether you believe in God, evolution, or something else—you have to admit: the intelligence that got us here is remarkable. And now we're creating something that might surpass it.

Know The Field

The Major Players

Google

Created the "Transformer" architecture in 2017 that made all this possible. Their AI is called Gemini.

OpenAI

Made ChatGPT—the "Netscape" of AI. Partnered with Microsoft.

Microsoft

Bill Gates' company since '75. Their AI is called Copilot. Deep partnership with OpenAI.

Meta (Facebook)

Has their own AI called Llama. Already using AI to control what you see in your feed.

They're all racing toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—when AI can do every task, every profession, better than any human.

Your Defense

Critical Thinking

The best way to protect yourself:

"WHAT IS THE INTENTION BEHIND WHAT I'M WATCHING?"

If you think something's fake—don't be so sure. If you think something's real—don't be so sure. The algorithms already know exactly what keeps you scrolling. That edgy, angry content that pisses you off? That's by design.

We grew up knowing what it's like to be manipulated by people bigger and stronger. Now we're being manipulated by systems smarter and faster.

Tech Basics

How To Navigate

What's a URL?

A URL is just a digital address—like a street address for the internet. Instead of "123 Main Street," you type "1.honorelevate.com" and it takes you to a specific place.

1.honorelevate.com

Where do you type it?

  1. Look at the very top of your web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge).
  2. You'll see a long white bar—that's the address bar.
  3. Click it, type the address, and press Enter.

The Series Structure:

Episode 1: 1.honorelevate.com (You're here)
Episode 2: 2.honorelevate.com
Episode 3: 3.honorelevate.com
... and so on through Episode 17

Your Mission

Share This

If you have parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or anyone over 50 who needs to understand what's happening—send them this page.

They're not going to hear it from the grandkids. But maybe they'll hear it from someone who remembers party lines, fax machines, and the Sears catalog.
