How to ST*U: The Internet Didn’t Make Us Stupid. It Just Removed the Speed Limit.

The internet didn’t invent human stupidity, tribalism, or our irresistible desire to tell someone they’re an idiot. Those features came preinstalled in our carbon-based brains.

Social media simply changed the rules, removed the social consequences, and discovered how to monetize our outrage. We’ve built a multibillion-dollar industry around exploiting instincts that civilization spent thousands of years teaching us to control.

Our grandparents called it manners. Today, we call it engagement. And while everyone blames the technology, perhaps the real problem is that our prehistoric brains are still running outdated software—and somebody figured out how to make a fortune selling us the bugs.

Quantum Computing: When the Universe Decided Regular Math Was Too Boring

Humanity started counting on its fingers, graduated to rocks, and eventually invented computers capable of billions of calculations per second. Apparently, that wasn’t good enough. Now we’re building quantum computers that exploit the bizarre rules of physics, where particles behave like waves, reality defies common sense, and even Einstein got uncomfortable. Welcome to quantum computing, where we’re teaching the universe to help with our math. Not bad for a species that still needs instructions on shampoo bottles.

The demand they created for consumer goods spawned whole industries to service their egocentricity including, but not limited to: credit purchases, electronics, up-scale vacations, and healthcare. Contrary to previous generations, they seem impervious to inflation – gas five bucks/gallon – so what? Their powerful ramifications have kept the USA a world leader.

Trump’s Partly Right: A ‘1929-Style Depression’ Is Just Around the Corner

A few days ago, President Donald Trump warned of a “1929-style Depression…if the Democrats get in.”

Trump is, of course, referring to November’s midterm elections. And throwing hearty rhetoric at the wall – hoping it sticks for electoral effect.

California: Keeping Dumb Net Neutrality Alive. Trump Is Trying to Kill It

Paper or Spastic? Semi-famous are some World War II Japanese soldiers who were strewn across the Pacific – and didn’t know the war had ended. Some spent subsequent DECADES hiding out – awaiting reality to finally find them. When it comes to government policy, this is how I often view California. A bunch of soldiers …

5th Generation War, Part 5: Who Gets to Decide What Is True?

The ultimate weapon in fifth-generation warfare may not be a missile, a drone, or even propaganda. It may simply be convincing Americans that truth itself no longer exists. Once we believe elections are meaningless, institutions are irredeemably corrupt, rights belong only to our tribe, and our neighbors are enemies, nobody has to conquer us. But the answer cannot be a government Ministry of Truth deciding what citizens are allowed to believe. A free republic survives differently: evidence, transparency, free speech, skeptical citizens, honest institutions, and the freedom to argue—even to be wrong. It’s messy, frustrating, inefficient, and occasionally ridiculous. Good. That’s what freedom looks like. I’ll take the argument.
