  2. in #monopoly #capitalism = modern day #feudalism not #education or #intelligence earns most #money, no whoever owns #assets everyone else is dependant on = #exploitation = will ultimately lead to less #innovation + destruction of #mankind,, #rich vs #poor #inequality growing rapidly = #collapse of #society thank you

    = no matter how #smart #people or #government are or act: will lose game to whoever prints #money and buys + owns the #assets (#bank, #centralbank)

    the #solution: every Dollar or Euro or Pesos invested in your own #INDEPENDENCE from the #financesystem is well invested. #water, #food, #energy, DO IT NOW!

  3. John Swinney says #Scotland not invited to Cobra meeting on Iran war

    It comes after #Starmer told business chiefs in #DowningStreet on Monday that it must be a “joint effort” to tackle the impact of the #war, saying the Government “can’t do it on its own”.

    However, #devolved #governments have NOT been asked to take part in the meeting.

  4. There are still quite a lot of people who think that whatever an authority, such as the government, says is accepted as true. Argumentum ad verecundiam or appeal to authority. Thankfully I'm not like that, especially since I'm knowledgeable and well educated.

  5. a few days ago a #dutch judge ruled #doorbell #cameras illegal if pointed at #public space. since then someone is paying a lot of #bots & #trolls in nl media to turn this into a "#privacy is going 2 far and impedes our #security". morons. it's not about the cameras themselves, but only about them pointed at public spaces. no one talks about how these doorbells are not owned by they houseowners but by #oligarchs and hostile #governments, who have city-wide networks now for tracking dissidents.

  6. A very interesting listen I caught on NPR today. Available as a podcast online.

    Climate One: Law and #Oil: Taking #Climate Offenders to Court

    "The last several years have seen a big increase in the number of lawsuits focused on the #ClimateCrisis. Some lawsuits challenge #governments for their support for fossil fuels and for their failure to take #ClimateAction, while other cases target the #FossilFuel companies themselves for knowingly misleading the world about the climate disrupting impacts of burning their products. Some of these cases seek monetary damages, others seek to hold governments accountable to their emissions reduction pledges. As more of these cases get their time in court, how powerful can litigation be in forcing action around the #ClimateEmergency."

  7. Can you use artificial intelligence to manipulate opinion and create the impression of need, either for political influence or fundraising?

    You clearly can do this, please see these 16 examples, created with little effort in a very short time.

    This is a huge problem in future conflicts and also for #journalism #media and #governments

  8. #Governments #worldwide are eager to attend #global #climate meetings to solidify their #environmental commitment. Their #political #agendas , however, rarely mirror anything near what they profess.

    Whether it's #CliimateChange , #Canada ’s #international #mining , #BritishColumbia #OldGrowth #forests , #TarSands, #LaBayDuNord - outcome will be the same. There isn’t an area in this, or in most other jurisdictions, that isn’t under some form of environmental attack.
