@BBCNews Please tell Jeremy Bowen not to speculate. His job is the news not opinion. FACTS!

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.

Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.

And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇

#margate #dreamland Stage 1. Close roller coaster. Stage 2. Declare whole park no longer viable Stage 3. Announce dramatic and vibrant redevelopment for Margate. Just a thought?

Melanie Phillips delivers a chilling diagnosis of the West's intellectual crisis: Ideology has replaced knowledge, and reason itself is under siege.

Key points from her 4:37 clip:
- Modern orthodoxies (multiculturalism, lifestyle equivalence, etc.) are treated as absolute moral goods.

- Challenge them → you're not just wrong; you're evil, standing against human/planetary betterment.

- Dissent must be silenced: no platform, no debate, no hearing.

- Evidence contradicting the ideology is dismissed as lies or "not facts."

- Universities—once crucibles of reason—are now engines destroying it, while claiming moral superiority.

- Result: Civil discourse dies. Replaced by insult weaponized to shut people down.

This isn't just about politics—it's the erosion of objective truth, evidence-based reasoning, and the ability to disagree without demonization.

We're witnessing the destruction of reason itself.

4:37 clip laying bare how ideology has become inimical to rationality 👇

When ideology trumps evidence and disagreement becomes "evil," what survives of open society?

Where do you see this dynamic strongest right now—in academia, media, politics, or everyday life?

My job is to take the immortal ideas of @nntaleb and translate them into trivial references to consumer capitalism. His first point here explains why every single fucking baked item in the shops is now made with fucking sourdough.
