Enlightened Populism: Reflections on the News Cycle of a Pandemic: Pandemics, global warming and other existential threats to humanity invite questions on the currently dominant sociopolitical constructs and the fundamental flaws within established systems, which may help us reevaluate the means by which human beings and the planet’s resources are grouped and classified from nation states to local
My Interview with ChatGPT: I asked ChatGPT to ask me a question on one of my writings, it came up with a smart question, so I kept asking for more and it kept providing profound questions… by the end of the interview, we switched places; I started asking questions about its current status and its future as an AI tool, and I passed back some of the questions it asked me and it provided intellectual
Global Justice is a fictional global movement integrated into today’s real-world politics, challenges and events.

Philosophical Debates with AI... As the title suggests, the book includes philosophical debates with AI tools; the chosen tools are ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Meta AI, Perplexity AI and Duck AI.
In the book they are all treated as philosophical partners, the same main prompts are given to each of them and follow-up prompts, whether comments, questions or counter arguments are provided to each separately to build distinct conversations based on their initial responses.
The book involves discussions on Enlightened Populism, Radical Globalism, Corporate Corruption, Global Justice, Moral Universality, Activism, the role of AI in future societies, the practicality of establishing a single world government with equal rights for all citizens and critiques of The Bachelors of Egypt novel’s philosophical premise and “My Interview with ChatGPT” book.
Just like “My Interview with ChatGPT”, this book aims at documenting a moment in technological history; precisely where cutting edge publicly available AI tools stand today. Unlike “My Interview with ChatGPT”, this book embraces a dialogue format instead of just questions and answers.
Readers can follow the logic behind prompts and answers to evaluate whether these AI tools are worthy of being treated as philosophical partners at the time being, while allowing the book to challenge their established beliefs and provide an alternative image of a future based on global solidarity.
Ideas that Survived AIDOP: AIDOP stands for AI Debates on One’s Publications, it is a framework that I created for content creation to stress-test ideas through AI, invite readers to explore the mechanisms of the thought process, sharpen ideas by responding to criticism, refine one’s own thoughts, document where AI tools stand at the time of publication, and turn content into living texts instead of closed chapters.
The methodology involves asking an AI tool to criticize one of your own publications or take a position opposing to yours, engaging in back-and-forth argumentation, and copying the entire unedited transcript within 24 hours of the exchange.
Along the way, one may simply accept criticism as valid or agree to disagree on certain issues.
This book includes a selection of essays from the blog section of my website; the essays are paired together based on their themes, starting with an essay that tackles a certain topic, followed by an essay which involves me debating an AI tool over the same topic after prompting it to criticize the content of the initial essay.
Essays in this book tackle the absurdity of nationalism, a manifesto for the fictional Global Justice Party, the fact that global justice and unity can limit future pandemics, the controversies surrounding the Global Justice Novel, My Interview with ChatGPT Book, Enlightened Populism Book, and The Bachelors of Egypt Novel… the philosophical roots for The Bachelors of Egypt, corporate life and politics, Mohamed Mahmoud Incidents, the 2011 Egyptian revolution or uprising, the explanation of Enlightened Populism, and debates on book samples of three of my previously published books.
The ideas in this book have been scrutinized by leading Large Language Models like ChatGPT and Gemini, AIDOP was never intended to replace human debate, feel free to share your views on the book’s content. The paperback version of the book is available through Amazon as usual, the eBook can be accessed for free through Google Play or this website's shop.
This is a work of sociopolitical philosophy, arguing against uncritical tribal thinking, positioning Enlightened Populism as a prerequisite for direct democracy, social justice and global unity. The book starts with enabling Enlightened Populism, disabling indoctrination, achieving global unity, and it ends with an AIDOP (AI Debates on One’s Publications) session on its first three chapters.
Self-help, leadership, economics, current events and international relations are among the themes tackled in the book.
Key takeaways from the first chapter:
Enlightened Populism is more than a political philosophy; it is a behavioral pattern of communication. It involves listening to multiple experts, trying to understand how they reached certain conclusions and investigating the information to discern the truth.
People around the world need to realize the simple fact that a piece of land does not have a religion or ethnicity.
Catastrophic climate change consequences are already knocking the door, a unified response through a world government is desirable on both fronts of mitigation and adaptation.
Enlightened Populism does not rely on popular charismatic leaders; it may only work if it is practiced by the masses. The same can be said about establishing a global government, it may require multigenerational efforts but it must be a bottom-up transition.
This book is intended as a renewed call to unite the planet under a single government with equal rights for all citizens of the world, get rid of monarchies and military industrial complexes, tax billionaires out of existence by setting a wealth cap at $999 million, and using the trillions acquired through these measures to introduce shelter, access to clean water and food, education, healthcare and stable speedy internet connections as basic human rights.
The main focus here is on the utter uselessness of the billionaire class. Arguments for the benefits of their presence are deconstructed and debunked one after another with an AIDOP (AI Debates on One’s Publications) session at the end of the book; handling a debate with ChatGPT on the counterarguments presented.
The arguments and counterarguments tackle speed, efficiency, additional consequences to elimination, motivation, spending habits, whether getting rid of billionaires is essential for getting rid of cronyism, whether extreme wealth concentration has been historically beneficial, philanthropy, balance of power, recruitment and training, private diplomacy, whether billionaires provide real value to customers, and market accountability.
Key takeaways from the book:
· Just like they sought to monopolize markets, they may seek to monopolize opinions; threats to freedom of expression do not only come from governments, corporates have the power to silence dissent.
· A person does not maintain their position in the current list of the wealthiest people on the planet by following the rules of society; they do so by manipulating rules through their influence on legislation and regulation.
