Did you guys read Ender's Game?

Because this is right out of Ender’s Game, except the kids in Battle School are Chinese state researchers, the “simulations” are real influence ops, and the Formics (aliens) are.... us.

In Orson Scott Card’s novel, Ender Wiggin spends years inside elaborate digital simulated arenas, commanding fleets, testing strategies, iterating tactics against an enemy he never truly meets - essentially playing video games and being tested against other players. Every variable is controlled, every response measured, every weakness probed until victory is inevitable. There's a twist at the end which I won't ruin for those who haven't read it.

This is what the Chinese are doing now to the West. They scraped 171 million open X posts, inferred age, race, ideology, party, gender resentment, election skepticism - modeling the whole American psyche essentially - and spun up a million-agent digital twin of the US electorate. They can dial up synthetic Pennsylvania voters, feed them a tax-and-redistribution message, watch the reaction in multi-round conversations, refine it, and measure swing-state impact with claimed 47-of-51 accuracy.

They model Trump’s “dependable right-wing base.” They map MAGA content and influencer networks. Their own documents call it “cognitive-domain confrontation and guidance.”

Parts of the system are already being used by the PLA and intelligence units.

Guys, are you paying attention yet? They are playing Sims with the American population!!!

LOL WE are the NPCs.

This is completely an asymmetrical war as we have no reciprocal capability whatsoever. China is a black box thanks to The Great Firewall and total data sovereignty. We cannot access a corpus of ordinary Chinese citizens for any American lab to scrape.

We cannot build a million-agent model of the Chinese public. We cannot test messages on synthetic Shanghainese factory workers or Chengdu nationalists. We cannot A/B test narratives about Taiwan, the economy, or Party legitimacy and watch the simulated reaction in real time. We do not even know what the average Chinese person thinks because they've been cut off from our information platforms.

We live in a glass house while they live in a fortress. Every American rant, every demographic signal, every cultural fracture is harvested, modeled, and weaponized.

Meanwhile, their population remains opaque, unmodeled, and unreachable. Beijing now possesses a live, continuously updated war-game of the American mind. We possess nothing comparable about theirs.

A whole new level of Unrestricted Warfare has been unlocked. We are really not ready for this

Applause and standing ovation from European Parliament for approval to launch American missiles from Ukraine to Russia. If World War III were to break out, they and their families will have to be on front lines and find out. Do you agree?

Gran avance de la CSJN para ponerle un freno al delirio de la ideología de género. El Estado no tiene por qué meterse en la esfera de intimidad de los individuos, ni tampoco avalar compulsivamente que se obligue a otros ciudadanos a creer autopercepciones fantasiosas. El cambio cultural avanza.

Downside of cashless society

Hainan, China🇨🇳
After the typhoon, the water and electricity were cut off, Chinese people desperately wanted to charge their phones.
Because all your money is in your mobile phone. Without a mobile phone, you can’t even buy a piece of bread.

[ROME REPORTS @romereportsesp]

🌱 El pontífice recordó a Santa Teresa de Calcuta, cuya memoria se celebra cada 5 de septiembre. Citó sus palabras: "Cuando no tengamos nada que dar, demos ese nada", y animó a los fieles a no cansarse de sembrar amor, incluso cuando los frutos no sean visibles.

It’s a tough reality check but developing opportunities takes time. Put in the effort and time and be patient. Good things happen to those who wait… but remember to continue the effort at all times.

🇮🇹 | ÚLTIMA HORA: La primera ministra de Italia, Giorgia Meloni, criticó la decisión de permitir a Imane Khelif competir en el boxeo femenino después de que Angela Carini abandonara su pelea.

"Con estos niveles de testosterona, esta no es una competencia equitativa. No se debe autorizar a deportistas con atributos masculinos en competiciones femeninas".

[Alejandro Bongiovanni @alejobongio]

Si sos un argentino liberal, estás viendo una dictadura que se ha cargado todas la libertades individuales y cabe rechazo.

Si sos un argentino democrático, estás viendo un fraude electoral de dimensiones gigantescas y cabe rechazo.

Si sos un argentino de izquierda, estás viendo policías, militares y paramilitares armados combatiendo a gente pobre y trabajadora y cabe rechazo.

Si sos argentino de derecha, estás viendo a un país foráneo meterse con una de tus embajadas, parte del territorio nacional y cabe rechazo.

Acaso sólo podes defender lo que está haciendo Maduro si sos un tarado.
