UK & Canada's Surveillance Bills
The UK is moving forward with a social media ban for children under 16, but the changes affect far more than kids.
To enforce the ban, platforms will have to verify users' ages. While officials haven't confirmed exactly how, facial scans, digital IDs, and other age verification schemes are all on the table. The government is also researching ways to prevent people from bypassing the rules with VPNs.
Meanwhile, Canada's Bill C-22 would expand police powers by allowing warrantless access to subscriber information and could require service providers to build the capability to hand over data or intercept communications. Companies may even be forced to retain data they would normally delete and keep government orders secret.
As surveillance powers continue to expand, protecting your personal information has never been more important.

⚡️Esoteric Technologies and Hidden Cities with Cultivate Elevate
Our world remains mysterious. Even after all this time, it feels like parts of the old world have been hidden from us or forgotten completely. Technologies that could have had profound effects on our health. Energy systems that worked with nature instead of against it. Architecture that looked like it belonged to a more advanced civilization than the one we are told existed.
Why did we lose this knowledge? And if we understood these histories more clearly, could we become freer people today?
I had the opportunity to speak with Matt from Cultivate Elevate, who has devoted years of his life to uncovering these mysteries. He has studied old books, forgotten images, World’s Fair architecture, EMF exposure, radium, and the deeper relationship between the natural world and human health.
Were these technologies truly forgotten, or were they intentionally buried?

⚡️Cosmology of Ayurveda
I’m excited to share the first episode of a new series, Real World Ayurveda.
In Episode 1, Nicole and I explore the Cosmology of Ayurveda and the structures and dynamics that help us understand Ayurveda as a reality-based medicine.
This first conversation is meant to be an orientation, helping demystify Ayurveda and make this ancient science more accessible for the world we’re living in today.
We also begin to look at some of the key differences between allopathic medicine and Ayurvedic health care, including the understanding that you know yourself best, and the inescapable reality of the law of Karma.

What if the growing strain on resources makes us more aware of our environmental impact?

Forwarded from Unlimited Hangout
We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

AI Needs More Power. Your Neighborhood Might Pay for It.
To meet AI’s power demands, companies propose building their own power plants. But can they really stay independent of the grid? If it’s powering a data center or powering your neighborhood, which will take priority? We can see clear examples of communities who are being told there is just not enough power for them.

today I deleted hundreds of telegram groups i was subscribed to.
afterwards it felt i lost about 30 pounds of mental weight.
it turns out i don't need to be tuned into the latest wars, geopolitics news, food shortages, surveillance bills, or whatever bullshit in real time.
first and foremost i am taking back control of my mind, i suggest you do the same.
