The alarm bell I am ringing in today's @smh: social licence on renewables cannot be taken for granted. Incredibly, the anti-renewables movement has outspent the federal Liberal Party account this election on social media ads. smh.com.au/national/maga-… #auspol

So we've put in a pitch for a podcast session at SXSW this year - but we need votes! We're doing it with friend of the podcast @edcoper and it will be great. I hope they let me bring some CBCo tins - it better not just be instant coffee and sadness! publicvoting.sxswsydney.com/profile/846982…

Don’t panic. I’m only going to share one of these here. I’ve started a TikTok series on how to survive law school. I am sharing this one because I know @edcoper is on here. I thought, Ed, you might like to know the profound influence your dad has had on me.

Check out our recent Fireside chat with @edcoper, author of Facts and Other Lies: Welcome to the Disinformation Age. Ed emphasizes that companies must understand people's motivations rather than simply treating customers as solely price-driven and ignoring their deeper values.

This new "pre-bunking" initiative by VDL is immensely dystopian and should scare the hell out of you because it'd fundamentally change Europe's relationship with reality. x.com/glenn_diesen/s… Let's take the example of Gaza because, given VDL's unequivocal support of Israel to date, I'm sure she'd have loved to "pre-bunk" people's minds with a lot of Israeli propaganda. "Pre-bunking", if it's going to be effective, basically involves defining an official government-backed "truth" in order to define opposing viewpoints as "disinformation". It's fundamentally different from debunking because debunking involves exposing the falseness of an information that's existing out there, with proofs and rigor. For pre-bunking however, by definition there's nothing to debunk because it's a process that occurs before. Which means it's a fundamentally different approach to dealing with our understanding of the world we live in: rather than constructing it based on existing facts which we try to analyze and derive meaning from, she wants our understanding of the world to be based on an official narrative. And when facts do finally occur, to analyze them through the framework of that narrative. It essentially brings us back to a world before the enlightenment, where religion and myths defined our understanding of the world instead of approaching it with rationality. It would be the triumph of dogma vs seeking truth from facts. Again, it's quite easy to imagine how that'd work for Gaza if, much like Israeli society, we'd been plunged in the official Zionist narrative: we'd have reacted as they do, believing there are "no innocents" in the Gaza population... The scary thing is that the West is already a big part of the way there: ideology and dogma are already way too prevalent in the way we approach the world, and it's extremely damaging. The right direction is AWAY from that, and very much not to make it official and double down as this horrible woman is suggesting...

News from Tesla: we are leaving the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries and resigning from its board. The FCAI has repeatedly made claims about new vehicle efficiency standards that are demonstrably false. We can't stand by that. Here's the letter. drive.google.com/file/d/1OPQafp…

A cautionary important thread on how the culture war mongers do their work. The last week shows how Peter Dutton plans to win the next election, assisted by media who moonlight as the LNP PR machine, working in unison with a conservative lobby group funded by billionaires. /1

Great to see more focus on the background causes - we obsess about the fact a piece of misinformation is false, hence the rush to correct it as the solution, not the root causes that led it to be effective
Dan Williams@danwilliamsphil

New essay: I argue that misinformation is often better viewed as a symptom of deep societal problems rather than their cause. When that’s true, interventions like debunking and censorship are unlikely to help – and might make things worse. (1/15) iai.tv/articles/misin…

I spoke to @SatPaper about the biggest danger facing Australia right now: the wholesale import and weaponisation of the #MAGA playbook. “If you think this was about the specific issue of the referendum, you’re missing the point.”
The Saturday Paper@SatPaper

Tony Abbott is on its advisory board and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price worked as its spokesperson before entering parliament. Who else is powering the right-wing campaigning organisation that defeated the Voice? satpa.pe/mk235TY

James Cameron: "In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today." George Lucas: "When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point."
