Hail Columbia

Why is it that speech is under such thorough siege by censors that we cannot share experiences from the hair salon without risk of banning but the men in our lives are under constant onslaught by meta's pornographers?

We have the cure for this licentiousness: All photographs of people must be removed from the internet until the censors can figure out and accurately describe which naughty ideas we must not speak of.

We live in an era where your image is no longer yours.
Every captured photo—whether sacred, stolen, or shared—feeds an endless machine of data extraction, sexual exploitation, and facial harvesting.

The old protections are broken. The law has failed to distinguish between art, artifact, and attack.

We are here to change that.

Any representation of a living or once-living person captured via mechanical, digital, or chemical aperture where the image bears direct biometric or emotional resemblance to the subject.
 

This includes:

• Photographs
   
• Video recordings
   
• Digital scans and renders
   
• AI-generated deepfakes based on real people
   

Human Images carry biometric value—they can be weaponized for surveillance, pornographic fraud, or identity subversion.

“Human Depiction” (HD)

Any hand-rendered, artisan-created visual representation of a person, crafted without mechanical reproduction, and lacking traceable biometric fidelity.
 

This includes:

• Oil paintings
   
• Woodcuts
   
• Sculpture
   
• Symbolic or mythological illustrations
   

Human Depictions carry cultural value. They do not threaten biometric sovereignty.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s “I know it when I see it” test (Jacobellis v. Ohio, 1964) is now obsolete. AI, spam bots, and image harvesting systems don’t “see”—they scan, sort, and spread.

Thus, we propose:

🔒 Until courts and Congress can reliably distinguish protected speech from biometric exploitation, all Human Images should be treated as pornographic by default—illicit to share publicly or without explicit registry and consent.
 

1. Moratorium on Human Image Distribution
   A federal ban on the nonconsensual online distribution of real-person images across open social platforms and AI training sets.
    
2. Digital Image Sovereignty Act (DISA)
   Establishes legal ownership of one's captured image and biometric data with automatic copyright, revocation rights, and licensing models.
    
3. Registry of Artisan Depictions
   Promotes human-made depictions as protected cultural speech—distinct from digital replication. Grants tax exemption and archive status to qualified works.
    
4. Porn Re-Definition Initiative
   Replaces vague moral tests with material conditions: if an image is of a real person and was not handcrafted or licensed, it falls under restricted “Image Pornography” statutes until liberated by court precedent.
    

This is not about censorship. This is about preserving the sanctity of being human in a world that sees us as content.

We must protect:

• Children’s right not to be farmed by perverts or profit-seeking platforms
   
• Artists’ right to depict beauty without their works being equated with digital peep-shows
   
• Citizens’ right to face the world without fearing their face has already been stolen
   

The human face is not a font.
The body is not public property.
Dignity is not something we “opt into”—it is our birthright.
 

Support legislation.
Fund defense.
Name the violators.
Restore reverence.

In service of the soul.

The visit to the grocery store was supposed to get easier with the machines rounding up our items for us. Now the avocados are rotten, the bananas are so green they will have spots before they ripen. We always have to go back into the store because a substitution wasn't even close. The fruit sommelier, the craftsman and the form must be prized above the utility of the calorie delivery mechanism.

There is a sacred thread that runs from bread to blade, pot to patch, story to stitch—the human hand.

But today, mass production impersonates the artisan.
The word “artisanal” has become a marketing costume for machine-made lies.

This must end.

A material item produced by a sentient individual or small collaborative using direct, hands-on methods without total automation. No part of the core process may be outsourced to autonomous systems.
 

This includes:

• Hand-baked bread
   
• Handmade ceramics, tools, furniture
   
• Small-batch textiles, preserved foods, or cosmetics
   
• Works traceable to a named maker or shop
   

Artisanal Goods cultivate human dexterity, heritage, and cultural resilience.

Any item produced via mechanized, industrial, or algorithmic systems for large-scale reproduction, where labor is abstracted from identity and iteration supersedes intention.
 

This includes:

• Mass-printed clothing
   
• Assembly-line foods labeled “rustic”
   
• AI-written “handwritten” letters
   
• Mass-sliced, “artisan-style” loaves
   

Manufactured Goods are tools of convenience—not soulcraft.

A personal story:

We ordered artisanal olive bread for pickup.
The receipt said “rustic.”
The bag held machine-sliced, oily foam loaf with fake olive flavor—priced even higher.
 

This is happening everywhere—with bread, cheese, gifts, clothes, keepsakes, even art.
The deception is tolerated, even optimized—but the human spirit is not optimized. It is cultivated.

Groceries are, for many, the last ritual of joy and variety in an otherwise automated life. When even that is faked—what’s left for the soul to hold onto?

1. Mandatory Artisanal Certification Stamp (The Handmark)
    
   • Enforced by USDA/FTC with serial origin tracing
      
   • QR-linked profiles of makers, materials, and methods
      
   • Fraud carries fines equivalent to counterfeit labeling
      

1. Truth in Craft Labeling Act
    
   • Retailers must disclose manufacturing origin with visible signage or digital tags
      
   • Terms like “artisan,” “handmade,” “small batch” are protected—usage without audit is penalized
      

1. Incentives for Craft Economies
    
   • Tax relief and micro-grants for verified local craftspeople
      
   • Public schools to restore handcraft curriculum (textiles, woodworking, culinary arts) as vital for human development
      

1. Dexterity Index Initiative
    
   • Federal research to chart which skills machines should do vs. what humans must do to preserve civilization
      
   • Supports job migration planning that favors dignity over efficiency
      

• A machine can feed you.
  Only a person can nourish you.
   
• A factory can copy a gift.
  Only a person can mean one.
   

This is not anti-technology. This is pro-humanity.

If we lose the hands, we lose the hearth.
If we lose the hearth, we lose the story.
If we lose the story, we will not survive the age of the machine.

“Let the machine assist.
Let the human make.
Let the label honor what’s real.”
 

Support real craft.
Expose the false.
Stamp the Handmark.
