I’m listening to @tomatospy and @thegrugq discuss what constitutes a #cult on the #BetweenTwoNerds episode “The intelligence cult” and thinking, you two and many of the audience may benefit from reading or listening to The Culting of America by cult survivor, retired #USArmy #intelligence officer, organizational psychologist, and scholar of cults Daniella Mestyanek Young.

(It’s the premiere book about cult tactics. Her previous book is a memoir about being born into and raised in one of the most notorious and harmful cults in history, before escaping that cult and joining the Army. I have no connection to the author, but both books would have been informative for this discussion on BTN.)

@tomatospy I liked your "Law of Tom". "If there is a dumb thing todo, there are men who will do it" 😂 Found your first article of "Text on Thing" merch? 😬

My latest #betweentwonerds podcast with @thegrugq is out.

We find that the US has it all wrong when it comes to cyber

For almost all countries the way they use cyber makes sense. Except for the US. Their position means that the growth of cyberspace as a domain of competition makes them a net loser.

We have some good news: ransomware has peaked.

But we have some bad news too: other types of cyber crime will get worse instead.
