PEPFAR
The ‘President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief‘ - or ‘PEPFAR’ - was first mentioned by George W Bush in his State of the Union address in 2003. And let’s just cut to the chase, it’s not really about AIDS.

Accreditation is not merely a bureaucratic checkbox - it’s the apex of power. It’s the power of stating what should be done.
Inclusive capitalism will include only what's got the correct credentials. It’s power exercised through the right of exclusion.

supposedly this is it
i have read some boring documents in my time, but since this no doubt quietly relates to transhumanism, im sure it'll be wrapped in feel-good language and Aesopian terminology

Another thing people don’t appear to have paid attention to is the combination of Huxley’s trans humanism with Marx’s fragment on machines. The latter integrates the general intellect with the machine begging the question - who’s in charge under Huxley’s vision?

If the system was sold as ‘Efficient’ you could argue against it by saying ‘I prefer Freedom to Efficiency’.
But when it is sold as ‘Safety’ or ‘Equity’ the argument changes. To oppose the system is to be unsafe or inequitable.
The autopilot is a ‘moral’ machine. I does not say ‘do this’ - it says ‘do this, or you’re a bad person’.

1. Define the Mean (what is healthy, normal, sustainable, aligned)
2. Measure deviation (surveillance, metrics, scoring)
3. Enforce compliance (access control, accreditation, exclusion)
4. Update parameters (the Mean evolves, the loop continues)

it’s not quite down to the level of a 30-second elevator pitch, but it’s not far off either.

Oh I stand corrected - I’ve lost a paid subscriber. Yeah, that makes complete sense.
Fuck you, GCHQ. You communists better hope you win before the people realise the level you’ve betrayed their trust.
