As the saying goes, 'To learn who rules over you, find out who you can't criticize.' In the AI age, it's become far easier for many to track which voices and messages are tolerated or promoted in tightly controlled global channels—including those posing as 'anti-establishment,' like intel-fronts ICIJ or WikiLeaks. The gaps in tolerated speech speak volumes. Yet, while AI-driven media monitoring is cheap and scalable, the quiet disappearance of key global event coverage (e.g., the corona crisis) complicates the picture, revealing a more complex landscape shaped by an AI cyberwar for control over billions of minds.

Museum of Failure: Permanently closed
What few will tell you: the average return on investment for venture capital funds is significantly worse than what a mid-sized cocaine trafficking operation generates—and the latter does it without the magic startup narrative bullshit.

The half-Jewish Nazi Who Saved the Lubavitcher Rebbe (haaretz) (alt link)
Thanks to the late Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, Chabad Lubavitch is a well-known and powerful Hasidic movement. But few people know that the rebbe's predecessor, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, owes his life to a half-Jewish Nazi officer acting under the direct order of the head of the Third Reich's military intelligence agency.
