@Maciej__Czajka @PawRze A nie jest to jakieś swoiste wzmocnienie wizerunku Xi na potrzeby wewnętrzne Chin? W kontekście niedawnych plotek informacji o słabości tegoż podczas BRICKS? Plotek, które obiegły świat i być może opinie publiczną w Chinach? „Wyjście z cienia plotek” dla Xi może być bardzo cenne.

A tymczasem moi koledzy właśnie odpalają bardzo ciekawą inicjatywę skierowaną do uczniów szkół średnich, za którą trzymam kciuki: Olimpiadę Kwantową. Wszystkich zainteresowanych udziałem, których temat ciekawi, ale specjalnie się na nim znają, uspokajam: organizatorzy przygotowali zdalne, weekendowe warsztaty, które pomogą przygotować się do startu, a przy okazji sporo nauczyć od najlepszych speców!

The Toolkit to Understand the Long March

Gramsci designed the strategy. Dutschke named it. A generation executed it. And most people still cannot name what happened – because the mechanisms were never labeled clearly enough to be recognized in real time. Here they are.

Cultural Hegemony – and Cultural Marxism

Gramsci’s core concept. The ruling class maintains power not through force but through controlling the categories of thought. You don’t need to censor if people can’t think outside the approved framework. When the working class accepts that the existing order is simply how things are – no force is required. The revolution requires changing these categories first. Control what is thinkable and you control everything downstream. This is not propaganda – propaganda is visible. Cultural hegemony is invisible because it operates at the level of assumption, not argument. The Frankfurt School took this concept and applied it systematically to Western civilization – which is what Cultural Marxism means: not economic Marxism but the same logic of oppressor and oppressed, applied to culture, identity, and the institutions that transmit values.

The Long March

Dutschke’s application. Don’t storm the institutions – occupy them from within. Get the job in the editorial office. Get the position on the faculty. Get appointed to the curriculum committee. Replace the people who run the institutions with people who share the counter-hegemonic project, and wait. The institutions will produce different graduates, who will produce different hires, who will produce different policy. No visible moment of rupture. The march took fifty years. It worked.

How Institutions Fall

What the march looks like from inside the institution – the mechanism of institutional takeover. Not dramatic – incremental. First one appointment. Then the hiring committee. The committee shifts the culture. The culture shifts what is rewarded, what is punished, what questions are asked, which answers are acceptable. Then the output changes. Self-reinforcing once started. Irreversible without deliberate effort. Most institutions in the West are somewhere on this curve.

The Ratchet

Every progressive policy advance is permanent. Every conservative advance is temporary. The ratchet clicks only one way. Why? Because the institutions that implement policy are captured – so when a conservative government wins an election, it changes the government but not the civil service, not the judiciary, not the regulatory apparatus, not the media. The direction continues. The ratchet holds. Elections become a choice between the speed of change, not its direction. This is what Gramsci predicted and what we are living.

The Gleichschaltung

The Nazi term – but the mechanism is universal. The coordination of all institutions in a single direction. Not through central command but through aligned incentives – the ESG score, the DEI requirement, the grant condition, the advertiser pressure. Each institution coordinates voluntarily because the cost of not coordinating is higher than the cost of compliance. No conspiracy is required. The incentive structure does the work. Every corporation, university, media organization, and foundation moves in the same direction – not because someone ordered it but because everyone can see what happens to those who don’t.

The Overton Window

The range of ideas considered acceptable in public discourse at any given moment. Not fixed – moved deliberately, in both directions, by funding positions that seem radical until they shift what seems moderate. Yesterday’s unthinkable becomes today’s controversial becomes tomorrow’s mainstream becomes next year’s obvious. The mechanism by which open borders, gender ideology, and the managed demolition of national sovereignty all moved from impossible to inevitable within a generation. Both sides can use it. One side understood it first and funded it systematically.

Preference Falsification

Everyone privately disagrees – but publicly conforms, because each person believes everyone else agrees. The emperor’s new clothes at civilizational scale. The system maintains itself through the illusion of consensus that nobody actually holds. Until something breaks the illusion – and then the cascade is sudden and total, because the preference falsification ends simultaneously. This is what happened in 1989 in Eastern Europe. The regimes looked solid until they didn’t. They didn’t fall – they largely evaporated. The same dynamic is visible in the West today. The polls that show what people say. The anonymous polls that show what they think. The gap between them is the measure of the pressure.

Manufactured Consensus

The deliberate production of the appearance of expert agreement where none exists. The summary that contradicts the underlying report. The "scientific consensus" on topics where the science is actively contested. The fact-checker who checks framing not facts. The peer review process captured by the same ideological network it reviews. Not a conspiracy – a coordination problem solved by shared incentives. Everyone in the system benefits from the consensus. Nobody benefits from challenging it.

Lawfare

The use of legal process as a weapon – not to win cases but to impose cost, delay, and reputational damage. The process is the punishment. File the complaint, trigger the investigation, generate the headline, force the legal defense. The target is damaged whether they win or lose. Used against political opponents, journalists, platforms, and individuals whose activities threaten the network. The legal system was designed to protect the individual from the state. Lawfare inverts it.

Repressive Tolerance

Marcuse, 1965. The philosophical justification for all of the above. Tolerating wrong ideas is itself oppression – therefore suppressing them is liberation. True tolerance requires the intolerance of the intolerant. The left decides which ideas are intolerant. The framework is circular by design: you cannot escape it from inside, because the escape is itself classified as intolerance. This is why cancel culture does not feel like censorship to the people practicing it. It feels like tolerance. Marcuse taught them that it was.

These are not separate phenomena. They are a system – each mechanism reinforcing the others. Cultural hegemony creates the assumptions. The long march captures the institutions. Elite capture makes it self-reinforcing. The Gleichschaltung coordinates the institutions that haven’t been individually captured. The ratchet makes it permanent. The Overton Window moves the acceptable range. Preference falsification hides the resistance. Manufactured consensus provides the legitimacy. Lawfare suppresses the opposition. Repressive tolerance provides the philosophical cover.

The system has one vulnerability: it requires the illusion of consensus to function. Name the mechanisms clearly enough, in public, and the preference falsification begins to crack. Which is why the Counter-Reformation moves so fast against the platforms that name things.

You are reading this on the one that does.

@p_zuchowski No tak…. DT „głupim i bezsensownym” ruchem wyrzuca główne media światowe na ścieżkę debatowania o bzdurach w kontekście tego co się właśnie dzieje w tle… a „dziennikarze” łykają jak pelikany albo po prostu są elementem cynicznej układanki… 🤷

[M @SmigacM]

@jakubwiech Rozważyłbym, że w tle dzieje się coś intensywnego i najprawdopodobniej skoordynowanego. Podejrzewam, że np. „głupi” ruch DT z CNN i kolejnych 2 redakcji jest tego elementem… bo jak skutecznie i łatwo skanalizować uwagę mediów na całym świecie od na prawdę ważnych wydarzeń…? 🤷

[M @SmigacM]

@Reuters funny... what can you do to quickly and easily divert the attention of the media around the world from the critical events happening in the background...? 🤷

[M @SmigacM]

Jak odwrócić uwagę mediów na całym świecie od ważnych wydarzeń? Odciąć dziennikarzom dużych stacji bezpośredni dostęp do głównego źródła informacji. Wrzask na całym świecie… to takie proste… @realDonaldTrump Dziennikarze! Obserwuje teraz to, co dzieje się w tle.

Czy bezrobocie technologiczne to realne zagrożenie, czy raczej powracający od dwustu lat mit? A może tym razem jest inaczej? Nad tym pytaniem chciałabym się zastanowić razem z Państwem w doborowym składzie na 30. Festiwalu Nauki w Warszawie. Do rozmowy zaprosiłam osoby, które od lat badają rynek pracy, migracje i społeczne skutki technologii: prof. @DominikBatorski, Prof. Izabela Grabowska oraz dr. @Konrad_Maj - będę miała przyjemność tę debatę poprowadzić.

Porozmawiamy o tym, jak AI zmienia strukturę zatrudnienia, które zawody faktycznie znikają, a które dopiero powstają, i dlaczego statystyki bezrobocia nie zawsze pokazują to, co dzieje się z jakością i sensem pracy.

19 września 2026, godz. 17:00, Aula Stary BUW, ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście 26/28 - mam nadzieję, że się spotkamy. Zapraszam serdecznie!

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead.

You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement.

I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible.

But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier.

Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want.

Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well.

So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it.

If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.
