Fortuitous asymmetry: the censors are shockingly ignorant.

By expanding shorthand terminology an inexpensive cloaking layer can be applied to most efforts, obfuscation that is mostly transparent to other specialist practioners.

The rest of us need to up our game a little bit, terminology-wise.

Whoever has used the recent large language models with "agentic" (i.e., decision making) properties understands the perception of omnipotence they induce. This may lead to megalomania or not - in any case social hierarchies will get steeper, and more volatile, and more detached from reality.

I'm not sure if a mass of people, Orwell's "proles" can counterbalance that. Technology will not safe us, but maybe language will.

Corporate media is on the Oil/Coal Defense/Bio-Medical industries payroll,

TRUTH just doesn't advertise as much these days.

People are exposed to political discourse within the interests of corporate spectrum, nothing beyond ever makes it to corporate media (including the social media oligarchs who design public discussion)

When was the last time you heard a critic of capitalism on mainstream news?
