We are under a full-blown information assault, largely because the truth is not profitable or politically advantageous. I realize how radical some of these suggestions may sound (forcing social media companies to eliminate non-human contributions, potentially repealing section 230), but he's right, we are probably completely roasted on a planetary level if we don't figure out how to get a handle on this shit. Unchecked, destructive falsehoods are the backbone of MAGA and Russia's strength, and we cannot cede any more ground or time to conspiracies and lies.This would also mean going after the Murdoch empire. And that's not happening. Now, regaining any ground for Truth is probably not happening any time in the next four years, almost certainly many more. If you were tired of people being convinced that these relatively decent last few years (in America) were a total crisis, you're about to see people being convinced that a very dark time is actually a new golden era.Harari's comments about "excitement" are spot on. Trump has weaponized this aspect of our information age. If you recall Bannon's "flood the zone with shit" quote, it's very much a conscious strategy. Trump has used the current configuration of the internet and media to overwhelm you. We know this. I wish he talked more about Hitler using the radio as a disruptive medium, but the printing press take was good. Echoes of history schtuff, guys. You know.. history predicts echoes of history! so meta broI was happy to see that the above video is one of Amanpour's most-watched recent uploads, though.I am also probably gonna watch a longer one from this guy: https://hubski.com/pub/469715https://hubski.com/pub/469715https://hubski.com/pub/469713https://hubski.com/pub/469713https://hubski.com/pub/469712https://hubski.com/pub/469712Bain released their 2024 luxury report yesterday.
