Another test the ATmosphere
May 21, 2026
"The implications of all this are profound. First, our understanding of political risk has to change. We are no longer dealing with actors who are constrained by norms, expectations, or even basic human decency.

The Iran economic shock is coming. How to protect yourself
Apr 6, 2026
https://youtu.be/Oi265I48MdI?si=xFJEEFLBd3XMjGUg "Here's me in the UK, which is probably the least prepared country in the world for an energy price crisis, right? Massively dependent on imported energy, hasn't built up its own energy storage, doesn't have an enormous amount of reserves of energy like other countries like Japan or Korea have, which it probably should...

Social media’s dirty secret: they don’t use it
Mar 10, 2026
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebMm8stexM "But when you frame it that way, you understand that social media isn't the problem: the extractive profit motive is the problem. And then, banning under-16s is like putting a plaster on a bullet wound. Sure, maybe it helps a bit, but you're still bleeding out. The real question is, how do you stop...

AI isn’t people
Mar 1, 2026
"Treating people as things can begin in many ways, but I think one of them is the idea that things can be people. The motivated muddling of categories so prevalent in writing and thinking about AI, beginning with the very name 'artificial intelligence', is intentional and serves the narrative that this software can and will...

AI and the corporate capture of knowledge
Jan 31, 2026
"A society cannot meaningfully debate policy, science or justice if information is locked away behind paywalls or controlled by proprietary algorithms. If we allow AI companies to profit from mass appropriation while claiming immunity, we are choosing a future in which access to knowledge is governed by corporate power rather than democratic values." Bruce Schneier...

Der Plan von der Abschaffung des Asyls
Nov 19, 2025
"Das Asylrecht setzt voraus, dass wir das Leid anderer als rechtlich relevant anerkennen. Wenn Empathie politisch diskreditiert wird, verliert das Recht seine Basis. Die Asylpolitik der Gegenwart lebt von dieser Empathieverweigerung. Sie setzt auf Distanz, auf administrative Neutralisierung. Wer Zuständigkeits- und Zulässigkeitsregeln so ausbaut, dass bereits die Möglichkeit der Antragstellung zur Odyssee wird, stiehlt sich...

Oct 26, 2025
"The very worst-case speculative scenario for Huawei-as-Chinese-Trojan-horse is infinitely better than the non-speculative, real ways in which the US has killswitched and bugged the world's devices." Cory Doctorow explains why responsible governments should have to accelerate their countries' independence from US tech and not just Russian gas. pluralistic.net
