Posted 'a thing' on YouTube ~10 days ago. A friend said to share here too. Clips, a dreamscape. Rogue feedback loops, parasitic AI personas, simulations, and societal collapse. Tech warping reality, existential weirdness, the usual. Full version linked in replies.

@ARIKAHENRY @auskdav2 To some extent. Change perspective -> change behaviour -> affects world. See:

Have you noticed how seeing the world differently changes how we act in it and how different actions reshape reality? ‘Fake it till you make it’ and all that? Got me thinking it works like magic, like casting a spell. Except there are lots of these ‘magics’, if you take them to mean the lenses through which we look at the universe. 🧵

@RichardDawkins It's really all about this, isn't it?

[Digital Rummage @feedfracture]

Been thinking. We’re not fighting ‘culture wars’, we’re actually in what I’m calling ‘Boundary Wars’. Old lines that once gave shape to ‘reality’ - biological, social, national even temporal (maybe especially temporal) - are softening, blurring or being actively contested at scale.
I’m not talking abstract philosophy here either. It’s now the new felt texture of everyday life in 2026.

What a timeline!

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Belatedly, a government guidance document upholds the Supreme Court ruling that a woman is – guess what? – a woman. 70 MPs have signed a rearguard motion opposing it. Presumably they think a man is a woman if he says he is. Among them is Layla Moran, for whom I used to vote.

@HeadWarriorTWM Made specially for instances like this. Have been merrily posting it in (usually) Green Party (but also other) timelines with the remark 'here's some 'nonsense for nonsense'' or words to that effect. Not that I'm suggesting anyone else does the same 😉https://t.co/g03NsAyFIP

Been pondering the idea of ‘the singularity’ lately and it occurred to me… the whole thing might not be so much a technological hardware/software event as a ‘cognitive environment’ shift. And what a weird shift that’s upon us. A 🧵

@rand_longevity If so I reckon it'll look something like this. Kind of a scream:

@HeadWarriorTWM Definitely lucrative work if you can get it!

@CatherineMardl4 @womenwillspeak I certainly won't!

Do I have your attention? If so, you've just handed me a piece of the most precious stuff on the planet. Seen purely as a commodity it’s more valuable than data, than capital & labour, even oil. But it’s obviously much more than a ‘just a commodity’ yet many people give it away away like it's free. Let’s have a talk about this. A 🧵

1. Following my recent thread speculating about whether we’re in (or entering) an apocalypse (linked) and with a HUGE nod to the ever-brilliant CJ Hopkins ( @CJHopkins_Z23 ), I’ve been giving thought to the nature of the global/techno-capitalist system, currently devouring the world whole.

@Glinner @TheStranger How come you of all ppl are able to interact with this individual yet I got blocked merely for pointing out very politely the difference between subjective & objective reality?

@DavidBe31099196 But for spaces like Twitter where would you otherwise get to express views like yours?

This is why I’ve been pushing so hard for a U.S. shield law for foreign censorship. America becoming an impenetrable fortress for free speech will buy us time to fight back in Europe.

There's reason to it. This is the botafumeiro at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, northwest Spain. The Cty is the endpoint of the famous historic pilgrimage route - the Camino de Santiago. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims who'd completed the trek would gather in the cathedral usually unwashed after weeks on the road so you can imagine the stench & thus the need for such powerful fumigation.

@JohnCleese Great question. Outstanding analysis here:

[David Betz @DavidBe31099196]

The Macpherson Report and the murder of Henry Nowak are causally linked through the corrosive logic of multiculturalism and its institutional offspring: two-tier policing.

By the time he was stabbed to death in December 2025, 18-year-old Henry Nowak would have been eight years younger than the 1999 Macpherson Report. The nature of the former—and especially the police response—is directly tied to the latter.

Sir William Macpherson’s inquiry into the Stephen Lawrence case redefined institutional racism expansively. It instructed police to prioritise perceptions of racism from minority complainants. This well-intentioned reform, born of genuine outrage at one racially motivated murder, embedded a structural bias: complaints from certain communities received swift deference, while the concerns of the native majority were often dismissed as prejudice.

Over a quarter-century, this shifted the state’s posture from impartial referee to quasi-imperial active manager of ethnic sensitivities. 

Fast-forward to Southampton, 3 December 2025. Henry Nowak, a Polish-British student, was stabbed five times—including a fatal chest wound—by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, who was legally carrying a 21cm kirpan, a privilege extended to no others in British society. As Henry lay dying in his own blood, Digwa falsely claimed racial abuse (citing a bruised eye). Officers handcuffed and arrested the victim rather than rendering immediate aid.

Police later apologised—unconvincingly, particularly after the leaked bodycam footage emerged. The IOPC is investigating. This is not mere incompetence. It is the predictable outcome of Macpherson’s legacy: officers socialised to fear being labelled racist more than failing to protect life.

Listen to Henry’s father. Watch the leaked video and don’t look away. Henry didn’t get a dignified death. He died frightened, drowning in his blood while being mocked and then advised of his rights. Scriptwriters would be sent back to the room if they suggested something so on-the-nose in a gritty drama—yet this is grotesque UK reality.

People should be furious about it. The government is paralysed by ideology, fear, and cowardly shamelessness. Genuine media that holds power to account is in short supply.

Setting anger aside for a moment, multiculturalism erodes the pre-political loyalty that underpins state legitimacy—the special sauce of governance. When institutions apply justice asymmetrically—aggressive on Islamophobia or native 'hate', hesitant or inverted when minorities are perpetrators—trust collapses. This is textbook anarcho-tyranny.

Polls show historic lows in institutional confidence. Incidents like Nowak’s, amplified by grooming scandals, knife crime disparities, and uneven protest handling, accelerate the collapse.

The consequences are stark: feral zones in cities, rural-urban fractures, nativist backlash, and escalating intercommunal violence. Would you choose to walk your dog where Wayne Broadhurst was stabbed to death, or send your son to university where he might be degraded while dying and begging police for help? What would you do if violence and rape regularly targeted you and yours and the police seemed indifferent?

It used to be brushed off as part and parcel' of modern urban life, or 'don’t look back in anger'. That was low, dishonest, and weak. Now the strategy is silence—which may be the least bad option left for this dishonest, discredited government.

We are sliding toward the civil conflict I have warned of—not as cause, but as consequence—of Britain’s unravelling as a coherent nation. The drivers are obvious because they strike normal people faster, wider, and deeper. The reactions are predictable. War is adaptive behaviour; civil war is simply more brutal and socially miasmic. Henry’s killing is not an isolated tragedy. It is a chapter in a larger, nationally suicidal debacle imposed on ordinary people by a governance system that has grown functionally undemocratic over thirty years.

@LeftieStats Should be an interesting & enlightening vote. Talking of votes, perhaps this - the 'trans' issue - should be the subject of a referendum of some sort?
