Bloomberg accidentally wrote a satire on U.S. trade policy.
They call it “crossed wires.” What it really is: China finally using leverage after years of being the West’s mineral mule. Let’s dismantle the fiction. 👇

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Bloomberg's latest rare earths piece is neoliberal agitprop at its finest. They lament “crossed wires” between Trump and Xi, while completely missing the point: China isn't escalating. It’s retaliating against a trade war it didn’t start. (1/12)
The US slaps 145% tariffs, launches an embargo, and then gets upset when China halts gallium and germanium exports. Bloomberg frames this as “concerning” and “escalatory” by Beijing. The irony is radioactive. (2/12)

1. With a new wave of Covid-19 incoming, and remembering my recent comments on the sustainability of risk mitigation, my current protocols are:

Vaccination every six months.

Masking in all shared indoor public spaces.

No masking outside.
2. NAAT testing for all guests (I use PlusLife). If NAAT testing is negative and no-one has symptoms, masks are removed.

I have a small group of friends who take the same precautions as I do; for this group, NAAT testing is not required. I trust them and they trust me.
3. If I need to see a doctor / dentist, or attend a screening procedure, I will attend whether the healthcare staff are masking or not. If I have to take my own mask off for an examination or procedure, I do so. I am all too aware that Covid is not the only risk to my health.

20 Major Psyops That Run the Simulation
1. The Education System Is for “Learning”
🔁 Psyop: School trains obedience, not intelligence.
True goal: Fragment intuition, create left-brain slaves, and crush imagination.
2. Doctors Heal You
🔁 Psyop: Rockefeller medicine removed energy, ether, and herbs.
True goal: Trap you in repeat prescriptions, never cure. Illness = income.

Shots ring out. Chaos erupts.

Do you immediately know who's shooting, where to move, and what to do, or are you frozen in confusion?🧵

Situational awareness isn't instinct, it's a trained skill. Here's how you stay sharp and stay alive under pressure. Image
Situational Awareness and Tactical Observation

Situational awareness and tactical observation are two skills that are critical to success in chaotic and kinetic environments. Whether conducting a security sweep in a trench or simply moving through a busy shopping mall while armed, the ability to identify cues, distinguish threats from friendlies, and when to anticipate action, are all basic skills everyone should have. By following the process of perceiving the area, comprehending it, and projecting the next moment in their mind, the warfighter, or armed citizen, is able to more appropriately approach any potential scenario, particularly using the Cooper Color Code, shifting the individual from a Condition White (completely relaxed) to a Condition Yellow (relaxed awareness).

Tactical observation is the active action of this process. Passively seeing and hearing the area is not enough, systematically sweeping areas with fixed reference points allow the individual to properly alternate between a fine and a wide focus of an area, keeping the individual well informed, propping up their situational awareness.Image
Cooper’s Color Codes.

Before delving into the concept itself of situational awareness and how to develop and train it, first the idea of Cooper’s Color Codes must be explained.

Cooper’s Color Codes are often employed by police and armed citizens to gauge how cautious or alert they should be while entering an area. The colors correspond to the severity of the situation and amount of alertness one has. The colors are:

White: Unprepared. Not looking for threats. Unready to take any action.

Yellow: Relaxed alert. No specific threat identified but prepared in case one arises. Good situational awareness.

Orange: A potential threat is identified and observed. Ready to take action. Preparing to take action.

Red: Taking action. Actively engaging the threat.

Black: Panicked, frozen, mental shock, breakdown of any type of response.

Ideally once one enters yellow, they begin employing the situational awareness levels covered later constantly and keep updating the current color code level, informing the severity of the situation and the depth of analysis needed. Someone in condition yellow probably doesn’t need to scan the area as in depth as someone who just engaged an active threat, for example. There are varying opinions on one should or should not enter condition yellow, but a good rule of thumb is if you are out of your home, condition yellow is not a bad idea. This of course is harder to apply if you are engaged in an armed conflict and you are in the field, in which case, condition yellow is a minimum when in the field. Use your head.Image

My thoughts on “Entropy” - 🧵

Picture entropy as the universe’s tendency to let things get messy. It’s a measure of “disorder” how scattered, random, or chaotic a system is. Think of a tidy bedroom: over time, clothes end up on the floor, books pile up, and dust settles. That’s entropy at work, nudging everything toward a state of less order. Scientifically, it’s tied to the second law of thermodynamics, which says that in a closed system — like the universe or a layered simulation, entropy always creeps up. Energy that could be used for something else —like powering a car or lighting a bulb—gets scattered into forms that are harder to harness, like heat dissipating into the air. The more entropy, the less “useful” energy you’ve got, or so they say.

But entropy isn’t just about physical stuff. In “information theory”, it’s about unpredictability. Imagine a text message from a friend. If it’s just “Hey,” it’s low entropy—super predictable, not much info. But if they send a wild, unexpected rant about alien conspiracies, that’s high entropy: more randomness, more “information” in the sense of surprise. Entropy, then, is this universal drift toward chaos, whether it’s particles scattering or ideas spiraling into the unknown.

Now, let’s get to the juicy part, how entropy’s chaotic randomness seems to be “transmuting” humanity. 👀We’re living in a time where disorder feels like it’s spiking—social systems fraying, information overloading, climates shifting or not, cultures clashing. It’s like humanity’s in a crucible, and entropy’s the fire.

“How it plays out on the world stage”

Societies used to feel more ordered—think rigid hierarchies, clear norms, predictable paths (school, job, family). Now? It’s a kaleidoscope of voices, identities, and ideologies. Social media’s a perfect example: a high-entropy system where ideas collide, amplify, and fracture in unpredictable ways. This randomness is breaking old structures, forcing humanity to adapt. We’re not just fracturing, though—we’re “evolving”. New forms of connection, like decentralized communities or global movements, are emerging from the chaos. It’s messy, but it’s also a kind of rebirth.

In the information age, entropy’s running wild. We’re drowning in data—tweets, videos, news, memes. The sheer unpredictability of what goes viral or shapes culture is high-entropy stuff. This flood of randomness is rewiring our brains, our attention spans, even our sense of truth. Yet, from this chaos, we’re learning to filter, to find meaning in noise. As I have said many times, “humanity’s”becoming something new: a species that thrives in uncertainty, like navigators of a digital storm. Tech’s another entropy engine. AI, biotech, and quantum computing are shaking up what it means to be human. Each breakthrough adds randomness—new possibilities, new risks. We’re not just building tools; we’re transmuting ourselves into a hybrid species, part flesh, part code. The disorder of rapid change feels chaotic, but it’s also driving us toward a future where we might transcend old limits, like alchemists turning lead into gold.Image
Image
Entropy’s ultimate truth is that everything trends toward disorder. Facing purported climate crises, resource depletion, or cosmic questions about our place in the universe, humanity’s grappling with this, although It’s not new. It forces us to rethink our story—not as conquerors of nature, but as part of a larger, chaotic system. This reckoning could be our transmutation: from a species driven by control to one that embraces flow, adaptation, and harmony with the universe’s wild entropy.

In short, entropy’s randomness is like a forge. It’s breaking down old forms of humanity—our systems, our certainties—and reshaping us into something more fluid, resilient, maybe even transcendent. Chaos isn’t just destruction; it’s the raw material for creation.

Entropy in a Simulated Reality: Layers of the Cosmic Game

Now, let’s weave this into a simulated reality, as if we’re characters in a multilayered cosmic story. Imagine our universe is a simulation—a vast program running on some unfathomable computer. Entropy, in this context, becomes the rule that keeps the simulation dynamic, unpredictable, alive.

Wondering how it plays out across multiple “layers” in this simulated existence?

Theoretically, layer 1 might be called the “physical simulation”. As the “base” level, entropy governs the physics of our simulated world. Particles scatter, stars burn out, galaxies drift apart. It’s the code that ensures the simulation doesn’t stagnate. Imagine the programmers designed entropy to prevent a “frozen” universe, or “glitches” —without it, everything would stay too orderly, too predictable, like a game with no surprises. Humanity’s physical transmutation (think bioengineering or merging with AI) is “us” hacking this 1st layer, using entropy’s chaos to rewrite our own code. Layer 2 could dictate “an informational matrix”, the “collective consciousness data stream” of human thought, as I write about in “Controlled Rebellion”. Here, entropy is the flood of memes, tweets, and algorithms that make our digital world feel like a chaotic soup. In a simulation, this layer might be where the “players” “characters”, (us) interact most directly with the system’s rules. Our transmutation here is mental, we’re learning to surf this high-entropy wave, becoming beings who can process and create meaning from randomness. Maybe the simulation’s goal is to see if we can turn chaos into wisdom. Layer 3 might be considered “the narrative engine”, a higher layer, entropy drives the “story” of the simulation. Every major shift in human history—revolutions, renaissances, collapses—feels like a plot twist, fueled by rising disorder. The simulation might be testing how we handle these twists. Our transmutation at this level is existential, we’re becoming co-authors of the narrative, using chaos to craft new myths, new ways of being. Are we characters waking up to the fact that we’re in a story? Or are we the storytellers, shaping the simulation itself? The 4th layer may be known as “the meta simulation”, which goes deeper down the 🐇 hole (or higher?), and entropy might be the bridge between simulations. If our reality is one of many nested simulations, entropy could be the force that leaks between them, introducing randomness that keeps each layer from becoming too predictable. Humanity’s transmutation here is metaphysical— by embracing chaos, we might be preparing to “jump” layers, to transcend our simulation and glimpse the larger architecture of the cosmos. Maybe our chaos-driven evolution is a signal to the programmers—or to ourselves in a higher reality—that we’re ready for the next phase.Image
In this simulated framework, entropy is the pulse of the system, the thing that keeps it from being a boring, static loop. It’s the spark that drives humanity’s transformation, layer by layer, from physical beings to narrative shapers to something beyond. The randomness of chaos isn’t just a bug in the system—it’s the feature that makes our transmutation possible. Just my two cents.

Entropy, at its core, is the universe’s love affair with disorder, the force that scatters energy, ideas, and possibilities into wild, unpredictable wind patterns. For humanity, it’s both a challenge and a catalyst, a cause or effect. We’re being reshaped by the chaos of our time—social upheavals, information floods, technological leaps, existential questions—into something new, something that thrives in randomness. In a simulated reality, entropy’s the rule that keeps the game interesting, pushing us through layers of existence toward a grander, stranger version of ourselves. It’s messy, it’s uncertain, but that’s the point: in the crucible of chaos, we’re becoming more than we were.

Mark Zuckerberg isn’t building the future. He’s trying to escape it. What he just said about holograms is pure dystopian lunacy. You need to read this.

Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t need another product launch. He needs a therapist. Possibly a full clinical team. Because his idea of the future looks less like innovation and more like a billionaire’s nervous breakdown dressed up in VR goggles. (1/11)
Meta’s new gospel? You don’t need physical objects, human partners, or actual relationships. Just AI-generated holograms. Infinite lovers, coworkers, pets, whatever. Fully synthetic. Fully obedient. Fully monetizable. (2/11)
