Soft(ware) Power, AoT#500
Soft power becoming software power, and the hope is to embed it as the OS for every government in the world. Behind the veneer of the ever-present online propaganda, lies this simple motive. When we talk about new cold wars, national security, or even a world war, this is the prize that all of the power brokers, decision makers, and stakeholders have as their motivation. It isn't complicated, but it is hidden in a web of synthetic digital complexity that we need to break away from as soon as possible. Topics include: Revolve book, Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society, disinformation, influence operations, online space is propaganda space, conspiracy media co-opted, Open AI and Anthropic news, sandbox test, AI development and integration into world governments, technocracy, destruction of old government, Eric Schmidt, NSCAI, framing the new national security context around AI, China as new Cold War enemy, cyber security threats, current presidential administration no more than a bought off clown show, transparent corruption, Palantir PR, American Greatness obvious propaganda outlet, soft power, DOGE part of broader agenda, stupidity of simplistic libertarian content online, monopoly capitalism, Whitehouse new left wing terrorism target, tech billionaires as the ultimate preppers, crafting governments around the world for your purposes and agendas, reading between the lines
