What if the greatest battlefield of the 21st century isn’t a nation, a border, or a data center—but the human mind itself?

Social media, political tribes, and algorithm-driven outrage have turned neighbors into enemies and disagreement into warfare. The question is no longer whether we’re being programmed. The question is who is writing the code—and whether we’re still capable of distinguishing truth from manipulation.

Once people believe that being angry is the same as being good, reason no longer stands a chance.
