AI information (or lack of it).

I asked gemini ai a relatively simple question: "Find me 10 (ten), quotes attritubed to Frithjof Schuon"

For those who don't know he was a 20th century philosopher, metaphysician, and author, who left behind a large amount of profound insights and spiritual wisdom.

None of his writings were ever banned (so far as I know), but gemini ai didn't want to have anything to do with this search, giving me the following message:

"I can access and process information but am restricted from directly providing content that could be considered unsafe, like quotes that might be misconstrued as religious doctrine."

Schuon wrote about most known religions and was known for his ability to research deep into the foundations of religious traditions with out being dismissive of any one over the others.

But, for plebs like me Google wants to keep me safe from his opinions, which spanned a career of more than 60 years of research, teaching and writing.

Amazing! ChatGPT and Claude had no issues in giving me some of his quotes.

Even more amazing is a search of " Schuon on religion" returns any number of places I can buy books or do some research.

How is that not unsafe Google?

Is it safe to write about the unusual habits of the locals if you are writing about travel? The way they dress, or sacrificial ceremonies?

If Googles "flagship" ai program is only programmed to provide sanitised, or no information, then will the same conditions apply to indexing blog articles,? or will one openly honest article on a blog with with hundreds of articles be relegated to dark recesses of the Google searches?

Maybe I am a conspiracy theroist? but I do wonder what is going on.
