My Jungian phase is over. Not because he’s wrong, he’s literally right about everything, but because I’ve had enough introspection for a lifetime. Back on track, Machiavelli style. Trust the plan.

“We shall rid ourselves of the self-conscious, almost “embarrassed” concept of “psychological operations”. In its place we shall create MindWar. The term is harsh and fear-inspiring, and so it should be: It is a term of attack and victory - not one of the rationalization and coaxing and conciliation. The enemy may be offended by it; that is quite all right as long as he is defeated by it.”

I just saw the "NEVER DOOMER" meme I made twice on instagram. The positivity operation reaches farther than you could ever imagine. NEVER DOOM.

@DeltaClimbs It’s not so much what I know (although I have some insights) as what I’m prepared to ask and have already willingly forgone in the act of doing so. Sending you a DM.

@felixemackenzie Can you tell me how you hope the world might reshape its thinking upon seeing your film? There are many film-makers, and I see so many cultural messages in film that are repeated, but not understood. How will you break through? What do you know?

If I make a WhatsApp group focused on the art or techné that may reshape cultural networks of life and thought themselves, exploring new operational modes of being, would you want to join? Would be only for those with relevant capability, inquiry, or action in this meta domain.

Social and capital networks that are gatekept by IQ with puzzles that you complete on your phone + closed loop biochem sensing of emotional control. Enough of this equality nonsense. No one actually has a problem with wealth, only the rampant participation trophy wealthy.

There's a third problem -- the online "right wing" largely doesn't support the artists in our own sphere. A solid short story won't get any engagement but rage bait about the latest political scandal will do numbers and drive the discourse for days. At some point one must wonder if political and artistic cultures are incompatible to some degree.

Steve Jobs lost something like $80 million before Pixar turned a profit, and he purchased Pixar in the aftermath of George Lucas's divorce. Every part of the talent pipeline is broken. RW billionaires don't know what they're doing and RW artists are untrained.

@Fremond_ Funding creation is one thing and I haven’t got anything interesting to add. Only thing which would get my attention is creative thinking applied to distribution.

There is already too much art funded by the Arts Council. Giving larger grants to artists is not going to solve any issues. It might make a few more, however.
Andrew Bennett@andrewjb_

curveball: the Arts Council (@ace_national) is hiring a new Chair + I'd love to see someone bringing @ARIA_research-style thinking to arts funding so many artists drowning in paperwork chasing sub-scale grants could fix with high-conviction PDs, fast/big grants + org. velocity

How times have changed. Glencore has agreed to sell 40% of two of the world's largest copper-cobalt projects to Orion, a company that didn't exist before October. And the US State Department is involved...

Britain’s performance in WW2 was the biggest tragic narcissistic waste the world has ever seen. British rulers sacrificed their entire empire and people and all their treasure just to spite Europe. Now Britain is dead and the world is much darker as a result.
Calum E. Douglas FRAeS@CalumDouglas1

To win WW2, the British Empire liquidated its entire gold reserves, those who understand know what that means, it essentially means you are mortgaging your entire nation and empire. This, in the long term lost Britain its empire, bankrupted its people and led to the only recourse being a post-war loan from the USA to just continue existence which was only paid off in 2006. We had to take out the loan because in 1945, we needed Lend-Lease just to get food, after VE-Day, the Americans (unexpectedly) stopped lend-lease, even though we needed it to eat, thus necessitating the enormous bank loans, we entered 1946, being THE most indebted nation in the entire modern history of mankind. This was, essentially "what it took" to win WW2, an immense warscape which demanded TOTAL WAR to win, a concept even Germany did not realise until 1944. The entire apparatus of the state had to be employed, Britain, literally sacrificed itself to defeat Hitler. I hope this may help explain why the FINAL ACT of war preparation could only be entered upon when it was clear that there was NO possible alternative, at the time you speak of, no such certainty existed. It was not until about 1934 that we committed to the potentiality of this level of utter sacrifice, Chamberlain carried out phase 1, which was a managable re-armament which could be reversible, i.e. could be carried out withot the utter destruction of the entire empire and state gold reserves, he also carried out, aspects of Phase 2, requiring that those with gold assets register them with the state. Afterwards, Churchill carried out phase 2, the required dissolution of the entire Gold assets of the British Empire. This was THE largest single asset movement in the entire known history of mankind. War, once it reached this technogical level, was no thing to be taken flippantly.
