“We look at the present through a rear view mirror. We march backwards into the future.” Marshall McLuhan

“Politics will eventually be replaced by imagery. The politician will abdicate in favour of image, because the image will be much more powerful.” Marshall McLuhan

You cannot tame a tiger by stroking it.

In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. "Propaganda". Edward Bernays, 1928.

Can we trust big tech with our personal data?

To understand the purpose of shock doctrine/disruption politics we should apply Edward Bernays’ Golden Rule 01: The great enemy of any attempt to change men's habits is inertia.

In the C20th Edward Bernays invented PR to “control and regiment the masses without their knowing about it”. Today, data harvesting makes this much easier, faster & effective.

Are the developers of Ai more concerned with dominating than enabling? Have you ever seen a business model that puts people before profit?

Public opinion is a reflection of the narrative broadcast by those that shout loudest. Those that shout the loudest attract the most attention and assume power. In reality, public opinion is a hollowed out space waiting for a narrative to occupy the vacuum.

Shock doctrine or disruption politics is the term given to a political communication strategy that is designed specifically to create, amplify and exploit new or ongoing crisis.

The future is disorder, when almost everything you thought you knew is wrong, where we think we have found all the answers to all the mysteries yet lost all the meaning and missed the point, where we are alone waiting for safety, certainty and redemption on an empty shore.

The important thing for Government is not to simply know how to please the public, but to know how to sway the public. Those who can manipulate this mechanism of society control the narrative and maximise power.

The controls are operated through push-pull rods. First, you push and they push. Second, you pull and they pull. Disclaimer: The push-push action can cause implosion while the pull-pull action may cause snapping. Both activities destroy the equipment and equilibrium.
