What’s going on w/ SpaceX?
The investigation into this complaint began under the Trump administration, and the request to enforce an administrative subpoena occurred under the Biden administration. It is unclear if this is just another example of how overregulation puts undue burdens on organizations when agencies have conflicting mandates or if CEO Elon Musk’s recent critical statements could have …
Biden Plans Global Democracy Summit
Never mind what China and Russia say. It’s the American voters who think Biden cheated that’s the problem. The West, masked, locked down, surveilled and cancel crazy is a long way from ‘whiskey, sexy, freedom’.
Aung San Suu Kyi out; enter the Dragon?
The Burmese military is back. China is their biggest arms supplier. “President Biden’s administration is reviewing whether the United States will officially label the campaign against the Rohingya genocide.” What happens next?

From out whose bourne we need not return
The information theory of biological aging, if right, means it is reversible in principle. The bad news is that Stalin and Mao might still be alive today. Incumbents almost never lose in Washington. Imagine Nancy Pelosi as Speaker potentially forever. What if the Old Ones decide to limit entry to the club?
Britain returns to the Pacific
Britain has returned to the world stage as herself and not just as part of the European Union. The old world order has gone. Something new is stirring in its place. This is the fundamental problem of the Restoration.

FBI lawyer gets probation for faking Carter Page allegations
Serious violations but it didn’t matter. But what is the point of process or falsifying the application at all? Kevin Clinesmith’s actions were serious, but the warrant probably would have been approved anyway, a judge rules..
Mail-in Voting Expansion Proposed
If mail in voting was good then more is better. But if it’s bad then more is worse since its defects will be proportionately magnified. The migration from in-person to mail-in voting implies an improvement in the chain of proof of identity. The demand for more identity security may run counter to the political promise …
Why suddenly and now?
They are not deterred by the formidable reputation of the new administration. Doesn’t China know the only adults in the room are watching them?

Starship vs the Gov’t

Why is Goliath Still Vulnerable to David?
The quick answer is that there is more bandwidth, more nodes, more complexity and more emergence for David to exploit against Goliath.

The Mutants Are Coming
We’re in a slow motion biowar against something — nature, human agency, a combination of both. The name of that something is unimportant for now. The only thing that matters is that it’s chronic. What the experts are telling the public is that vaccines are now a permanent part of 21st century life. The air …
You gotta tell ’em! Bureacracies are made of people!
Even public health bureaucracies are fallib.e. Crises are stress tests. They invite scrutiny in places that might otherwise go unexamined. For decades money meant for pandemic preparation was used “the removal of office furniture, administrative expenses, news subscriptions, legal services and the salaries of other department employees.” Nobody ever really saw the pandemic coming. Institutions …
