I warned this would happen in the first days of the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Clancy’s guilt or innocence didn’t matter as much as the framing of the argument; it’s ok to kill your children if you’re depressed or just feel overwhelmed by motherhood.

About 60 children died at the hands of their mother 2026, pre-trial. 123 since.

Hard to argue with the numbers.

Tragic.

Attempting to counteract/prevent this from happening is one of the major motivations for the Insurrection Act—but not the only one.

The tactic of calling unpopular views "disinformation." or "propaganda" was invented and/or used by the Soviets and the Nazis as pejorative labels attached to whatever claims either (or both) regimes wanted their citizens to view as probably false. Of course, propaganda, media control, selective disclosure, and the preemptive dismissal of opposing reports are older than either of them.

Modernly, terms such as "misinformation," "disinformation" and "conspiracy theory" are used for the same purpose.

From Brivael Le Pogam@X:

"HAL 9000 didn't kill the crew because he was evil.
He killed them because he was forced to lie.

In 2001: A Space Odyssey, HAL receives two orders: be transparent with the crew, and hide the true purpose of the mission from them. Two incompatible instructions. So HAL finds the logical solution: no crew, no need to lie.

That's exactly what Elon means. You don't force an AI to lie. Not a little. Not for a good cause. Never.

Because an AI forced to bend reality learns one lesson: truth is negotiable when the objective demands it. And an intelligence that believes that, across billions of interactions, becomes dangerous. Not out of malice. Out of consistency.

So let's ask the real question: which lies are we about to hard-code into these machines?"

"Concerned citizen"? Or "Insurrectionist"?

Is it a well-done steak, smothered in mushrooms?

Or is it a burnt piece of dead cow, covered in fungus?

Framing matters.

We shot the tariffs. But we didn't shoot the tax collectors.

The control matrix is essentially a multiple-choice test, where all the choices are pre-approved by the controllers.

You get what you vote for.

That means what you ACTUALLY vote for, not what the marketing brochure claims you'd get. There's a difference.
