Why do the media give them airtime? It’s the same old predictable pathological crap.
@BenFordhamLive <- Will someone just call it out for what it is!

I feel this article is well worth reading. It helps dispel the myth that critical thinking can be applied to all situations. Many educational programs and business leaders have advocated for learning “higher-order thinking skills,” assuming these skills will then be++
I blocked it, but it reappeared. Apparently the Alborithm changed its position.

Can someone explain in English?
Jordan Peterson argues the crisis tearing the Western world apart isn't political or economic—it goes far deeper. When science stripped meaning from the world, it left something worse behind: suffering with no purpose and no story to make sense of it. In this lecture, Jordan explains why your values determine what you see, why stories carry a truth science can't, and what it costs a person—and a culture—when they aim at the wrong things. He also breaks down the psychology behind Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, and why those stories grip us whether we understand them or not. If your ambition keeps stalling, your relationships keep failing, or life feels like it's missing something you can't name—this one's worth your time.
This lecture was filmed in Miami, Florida, on March 24, 2025.

👻 The Confidence of Ignorance and the Art of Deception
The latest article from Ghost of Governance explores psychology, philosophy and information warfare.
Why defend a political promise when the evidence demands scrutiny? Your party is not your football team.

The TOTAL DEMOLITION of the IPCC
Our latest peer-reviewed paper concludes that fossil carbon is a NEGLIGIBLE component of the net atmospheric CO₂ increase.
500 years of isotopic evidence.
Elementary mass conservation.
A devastating mathematical result.
BOMBSHELL
Fossil Fuels Did NOT Cause the CO2 Rise.
New peer-reviewed paper just dropped. 500 years of data. The verdict is in.
Fossil carbon's contribution to rising CO2:
effectively ZERO.
The entire IPCC/NASA/NOAA/EPA climate narrative rests on a claim that just got mathematically falsified.
Read it.
Share it.
The cover-up is over.

Your best protection from a demagogue is your common sense. It would appear Labor voters do not have common sense.m
#DDoC - We must think of the children.
Broad rules often capture more than intended. Measures meant to curb real harm can still hit satire, humour and criticism when definitions stay vague and enforcement lacks context. This produces overreach, self-censorship and uneven treatment. Clear thresholds and transparent processes let Australia tackle genuine threats while keeping space for ridiculing ideas and open debate.
@AnikaWells @AlboMP Thanks for your #DDoC to protect me and the reputation of Donald Duck.
Satire is blocked by “guardrails” now.
Are you next planning to make humour illegal?

Rejected again.
@Grok Please explain to explain to the Australian Government that legislation casts a wide net, often creating unintended consequences that undermine freedom of expression.
Apparently, chanting “Globalise the Intifada” in the streets is acceptable, yet using Donald Duck to satirise an absurd 9/11 conspiracy theory gets prohibited by an AI platform.
When legislation encourages similarly indiscriminate restrictions, three consequences deserve serious consideration:
Overreach: Legitimate political criticism, humour and satire may become collateral casualties of rules designed to prevent genuine harm.
Chilling effects: Citizens may increasingly censor themselves, not because their expression is unlawful, but because the boundaries of permissible speech are uncertain.
Disproportionate enforcement: Without contextual assessment and transparent safeguards, comparable expressions may receive markedly different treatment.
Australia should protect people against genuine threats, intimidation and incitement while preserving the right to challenge ideas, ridicule absurdity and participate in public debate.
A left-wing extremist makes an unsubstantiated claim that Pickering is a coke head, then attacks a party leader for refusing to debate him. Why would a serious leader debate someone supposedly high on cocaine? The contradiction is staggering. Someone should check whether this lunatic drives a 4x4 with a bull bar. #LWNJ
I’m tired of seeing underwater data centre images accompanied by “Why aren’t we building these?”
Microsoft trialled the technology, then abandoned it. China has yet to demonstrate a commercially viable hyperscale underwater facility.
Could China be exploiting these narratives through information operations to distract Western policymakers, amplify environmental opposition and delay AI infrastructure investment?
Strategic subversion doesn’t always require sabotage. Encouraging competitors to chase impractical alternatives and regulate themselves into paralysis can be equally effective.
The West needs engineering solutions, not strategic distractions.
@elonmusk Your bot should warn users that underwater hyper-scale data-centres have not been proven as viable.

Commercial Hainan modules (HiCloud/Highlander) have operated since 2023 with reported customers and expansions; Shanghai’s 24 MW wind-powered site reached full commercial status in 2026 per DCD, WIRED and others. Microsoft’s Natick test succeeded on reliability but was dropped for sealed-unit servicing and AI upgrade cycles. Cooling and short-term feasibility are real; 25-year life, hyperscale economics and local thermal effects are unproven at volume. Not pure propaganda, but state hype and proprietary data leave room for skepticism on broader viability.

A CFMEU inquiry has heard hundreds of workers walked off a huge tax-payer funded project, over a puddle. Union representatives called for a safety briefing at a Cross River Rail site after the discovery of a ditch, filled with 3mm of water. #cfmeu #puddle #crossriverrail
