The Madness of Being Measured

We measure everything. Somewhere along the way, we began allowing the measurements to tell us who we are.

Fascinating paper, on a number of levels:

1) Discusses 'EMF NIMBY Effect'

2) Forensically examines social media posts, to enable 'guidance' and 'intervention' re. 'negative emotions'.

(Nothing ominous to see here)

God Is Not an Independent Witness.

God Is Not an Independent Witness.
God Is Not an Independent Witness.Every version of an all‑seeing divine observer conveniently shares the same biases, values, and emotional logic as the culture that invented it. A truly independent entity wouldn’t care about our taboos, our hierarchies, or our moral preferences. Yet every “omniscient” figure behaves like a human with perfect surveillance capabilities. That’s not transcendence — that’s projection scaled up to mythic proportions.

Why Child Marriage Disproportionately Affects Girls - Dualistic Unity
Child marriage disproportionately affects girls and not by accident, but through fear-based ideas of protection, honor, and control. This essay explores why.

Child marriage persists not because it’s misunderstood—but because it stabilizes power, identity, and tradition. Why does banning it provoke fear instead of relief?

Child Marriage Still Exists And Why Banning It Terrifies Many - Dualistic Unity
Child marriage is widely condemned. International organizations denounce it. Laws are passed to ban it. Campaigns urge its end. And yet, it persists. Across regions, cultures, and belief systems, child marriage continues — sometimes openly, sometimes underground, often fiercely defended. The common explanation is ignorance or cruelty. But that explanation doesn’t hold up. Because many […]

This Miss Manners meets authority tone scares me.
Because as we all know, well dressed people never mistreat anyone.

Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

More than ever, we can see and live the strategies of social control and psychological manipulation used by various systems of power (political, corporate, or media) to keep the population under control and prevent critical thinking. #WakeUp #CriticalThinking #SocialControl

Resist #Palantir at all cost.

The organisation is a sinister American vehicle for insidious fascist control of states, governments, politicians, data systems and whole societies.

(As if the UK's Daily Telegraph wasn't right-wing enough...)

The 20th century turned psychology into a tool of the state. Schools, prisons, hospitals—everywhere you go, the mind is measured, categorized, and controlled. #Surveillance #Psychology #SocialControl

Psychology isn’t just about understanding the mind—it’s a technology of control. Who gets to define "normal," and why do we accept it? #Psychology #Power #SocialControl
