The idea to "ensure that all funded projects are “aligned with the administration’s priorities”" [1] is not new.

Already seen in #Europe too, together with plans for digital #surveillance: pretending to be "for our own good" but implying, in a #DigitalSociety, the substitution of surveillance for democratic and scientific #freedom.

Plans often announced with two steps towards the abyss, then maybe "sparing" us one step (much to the relief of fools), in a slow "boiled frog" seesawing drift.

🌍 Does #reality exist only in the #brain🧠
— or are we already living in the #reality of #DeepFakes 👥?

Clarity is often treated like a formatting tool - something that makes ideas easier, faster, more digestible.

But what if that’s not what we need?

This piece is about a different kind of clarity.

Not the kind that simplifies , but the kind that helps us stay oriented when things are complex, noisy, and moving fast.

It’s about learning how to see, not just how to consume.
