Unless it is fought, this corporate-driven rot will burrow all the way down to the sub-processor TEE/TPM and all the way up to the web browser/app.

I don’t know, but I think more Germans per capita are fluent in English than French, Spanish, or Latino people are, and maybe that has something to do with it.

Debian is 32 years old. Arch is 24 years old. Gentoo is 23 years old. Alpine is 20 years old.

Even if it were to exist in the short run, it wouldn’t be stable. The predictor must be predicting somehow, which eventually could be at least partially sussed out, and future decisions would change as a result. Unless the predictor runs on literal magic, it would eventually no longer fit its own definition.

Mmmm, this sounds like an idealist hypothetical problem that in reality can’t exist, so to engage with it is to engage with nonsense.

The predictor rarely makes mistakes because… just because. It’s axiomatic. The predictor runs on the magic of unsupported assertion.

How is there any utility in being able to identify a few crackpots—only the ones who happen to crack their pot on this one particular event? How is Identifying crackpots of any use to the state?

This isn’t my bailiwick, but I think Peter Dale Scott and Arron Good may have some of the best answers. I don’t pay much attention to the matter, but IIRC, James Angleton and the Dulles brothers very likely were involved. It helps to ask: who covered up what really happened?

Other than an accomplished sniper, I don’t know. I’m more interested in who had him killed.

Hah. What are the changes of this coincidence.

I stopped reading because I wasn’t sure how much smoke he might have been blowing up my ass at the time, and I don’t remember enough to say now without reading it again.

It’s a very good piece. I read about half of his book, Tempo: Timing, Tactics and Strategy in Narrative-Driven Decision-Making, though I remember almost none of it now.

I read this when it first came out in 2009.

Vao makes his money as a c-suite coach, so I doubt that he’s a fellow traveler.

The USAGM supervises Voice of America (VOA) and Office of Cuba Broadcasting as well as state-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, Middle East Broadcasting Networks and Open Technology Fund.

It’s a branch of the US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex. Or was—I’m not sure if Trump’s executive order to eliminate it stuck.
