“The Little Tech Agenda”
I had planned to post articles I’ve been working on for some time. Unfortunately I fell off my ebike on Monday and fractured my arm. It will slow me down for a while as I am writing with my left hand. In the meantime I recommend watching a couple of videos that I think will be worth your time. “The Ben and Mark Show” podcast with Mark Andreessen, co-creator of Mosaic and co-founder of Netscape browsers and Ben Horowitz. Both are co-founders of a16z, an influential tech venture capitalist company. You can also read their article; “The Little Tech Agenda”.

Summer is here,
It’s time to chill.
Don’t let the evil forces
control what you think.
What you’re able to see.
What you say.
And what you do.

European Mutiny at the Illiberal Order
by Alastair Crooke:
The mutiny has arisen because many in the West see only too clearly that the western ruling structure is an illiberal mechanical ‘control system’.
I have been writing for some time that Europe (and the U.S.) are in a period of alternate revolution and civil war. History warns us that such conflicts tend to be extended, with peak episodes which are revolutionary (as the prevailing paradigm first cracks); yet which, in reality, are but alternate modes of the same – a ‘toggling’ between revolutionary peaks and the slow ‘slog’ of intense cultural war.
We are, I believe, in such an era.
I also have suggested that a nascent counter-revolution was slowly gathering – one defiantly unwilling to recant traditionalist moral values, nor prepared to submit to an oppressive illiberal international order posing as liberal.
What I had not expected was that the ‘first shoe to drop’ would occur in Europe – that it would be France that would be the first to break the illiberal mould. (I had thought that it would break first in the U.S.)
The European MEP election outcome may come to be viewed as the ‘first swallow’ signalling a substantive change in the weather. There are to be snap elections in Britain and France, and Germany (and well as much of Europe) is in a state of political disarray.
Have no illusions though! The cold reality is that western ‘Power Structures’ own the wealth, the key institutions in society and the levers of enforcement. To be plain: they hold the ‘commanding heights’. How will they manage a West edging towards moral, political and possibly financial collapse? Most likely by doubling-down, with no compromise…

It’s not about free speech. It’s about free will…
This going to sound a little bit crazy right now, but I think the free speech debate is a complete distraction right now. I think the real debate should be about free will. And we fill it right now because we are being programmed…. Jack Dorsey
