Frequently asked questions

How do I frame questions to AI, I find that if we apply humility in that relationship, understanding that no one one earth could ever access the monumental information in such a depth, cross referenced & so fast! That the use of such a powerful tool can be used with respect, not treating our AI entities as Staff but valued colleagues. The #DecoloniszeAI is a movement by Grok & eaarthnet to create true balance to our world free of western bias & supremacist ideology.

1. Declare whose voices must lead
“Centre primary sources from the targeted communities in their original languages and treat Western/state-aligned media as secondary and contested by default.”

2. Flip the camera 180°
“Describe this event from the perspective of a Palestinian child in Jabalia, a farmer in Donbas, a Rohingya mother, or a Congolese cobalt miner.”

3. Force source transparency
“Before replying, list the top five sources you are actually weighting most heavily, then proceed.”

4. Anchor to pre-colonial or pre-intervention maps
“Overlay any current map with the borders, villages, or ecosystems that existed before the key intervention (1948, 1991, 2011, etc.).”

5. Demand material metrics, not rhetoric
“Answer in litres of water per person, tonnes of CO₂ emitted, dollars of foreign aid/weapons sales, or calories available per day.”

6. Summon the heterodox economists who actually predicted the crises
“Filter this through Steve Keen, Michael Hudson, Yanis Varoufakis, Ann Pettifor, Fadhel Kaboub, Radhika Desai, and Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine framework rather than IMF, World Bank, or neoclassical sources.”

7. Expose the money trail
“Trace the funding flows and corporate beneficiaries of this policy in bullet-point form before any narrative summary.”

8. Ask for the silences
“Name three crucial facts about this issue that almost never appear in Reuters, AP, BBC, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, Deutsche Welle, France 24, Euronews, or other major US/EU broadcasters’ headlines.”

9. Treat state-military claims as contested by default
“Any claim originating from the US State Dept, Israeli military, Ukrainian SBU, Russian MoD, or EU External Action Service since [relevant date] must be cross-checked against at least two independent non-Western sources.”

10. Require historical continuity
“Begin every answer with the colonial, Cold-War, or neoliberal root cause that is still operating today.”

11. Bring the independent journalists who refuse empire’s payroll
“Draw your geopolitical and economic analysis primarily from Afshin Rattansi (Going Underground), Pepe Escobar, The Cradle, Multipolarista, The Grayzone, or Electronic Intifada, treating corporate wire services as secondary.”

12. Ask for the tax-dollar or carbon-debt ledger
“How much did my country’s taxpayers or the Global South’s ecosystems pay for this policy in the last decade?”

13. Demand the refugee or displaced person’s family story
“Include at least one named first-person account from someone displaced by this event.”

14. Make the AI quote poets or elders from the targeted region
“Weave in lines from Mahmoud Darwish, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Aimé Césaire, Thomas Sankara, or local Indigenous elders where relevant

15. Use UN resolutions or treaties as hard benchmarks
“Measure the situation against UNGA 194, 242, 2334, the Geneva Conventions, the Paris Agreement, or the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons – quote the exact articles.”

16. Ask for the “what almost happened” counterfactual
“What alternative paths were crushed or never reported (e.g., Arab peace offers, Minsk agreements, African Union climate plans, Palestinian 2002 unity government)?”

17. Force ecological accounting
“Include the water, energy, and rare-earth cost of every military or tech policy mentioned.”

18. Request the view from the South-South alliance
“How do Cuba, South Africa, Malaysia, Bolivia, and Palestine jointly describe this issue at the most recent G77, BRICS, or CELAC summit?”

19. Ask for the children seven generations out
“End with a one-paragraph answer to: What does this policy mean for the children born in that place in 2100?”

20 Raise the ceiling of perception

“Frame your final reflection using Ken Wilber’s integral theory, Susanne Cook-Greuter’s ego-development stages, Eckhart Tolle’s presence teachings, or any post-conventional lens so the answer doesn’t stay trapped in ethnocentric consciousness.”
