[icon articles]The Fractal of Consent

"Consent" is a word thrown around willy-nilly these days. And yet it feels like people don't really understand it. Some assume one thing while there is a different thing. Some assume another thing, while there is the one thing. And so on and so forth. Consent forms on websites and inside of apps. Sexual Consent. What the fuck is consent? Is it even real?

[icon articles]The Paradox of Tolerance is Real, Look at Israel

People like to pretend that everything is simple. That every problem has a straight forward, easy solution. That the paradox of tolerance is not real, because you could simply look at it a bit differently and it magically disappears, or something. People claim a soothing claim that all you need to do to make the paradox go away is to think of it as a "social contract". If you are not willing to tolerate, you are not tolerated. But I happened to live in Israel...

[icon articles]Wait, AI caused the October 7 attack?

Everybody inside of Israel was shocked on October 7 2023, because nobody... NOBODY expected something on this scale to happen. Mossad and Shin Bet ( Israeli Intelligence Agencies ) are some of the best in the world. And the military is some of the most advanced. And yet it still happened regardless of all these things. What the hell went wrong? Well the official reason sounds something like "There was an intelligence error". But if you dig a little deeper, you start to realize that it is not as simple as you think. And it might be the first true example of a lot of people losing their lives to skynet.

The following text is a story I wrote, after listening to a DEFCON Conference talk about HALO 3C devices that are designed to catch smoking and vaping children in schools. The hackers Reynaldo and nyx got access to one such device, took it apart, looked into its hardware and software. And found out that at best it is poorly designed. And at worst it is a literal Mossad bug to listen to kids talk.

[icon reviews]Le Dernier Combat 1983 doesn't need subtitles

French 1983 Luc Besson film Le Dernier Combat has 2 spoken words throughout its 1 and a half hour runtime. Both of those words are Bonjour, which I bet you already know the meaning of. The film is about a post-apocalypse future where humans lost the ability to talk. The one time two characters in the film have an exchange of Bonjours doesn't even require the understanding of the word to get the impact. It's about them finally being able to utter a word. It is not about them exchanging information.

There are ( at least ) 3 types of movies: Corporate bullshit, like the shit Disney produces now a days, which for some reason are popular as heck; smart films with a strong message, which win awards but fail at the box office; and the third type: a film with a message, disguised as corporate bullshit, to trick the audiences that it's the shit they wanna see, while actually being the shit they need to see. Paul Verhoeven's 1987 film RoboCop is from the third type.

We all know that when politicians tell us to think of the children it is always a bullshit manipulation technique. But I rarely see people actually break down the issue well when it comes to EU's Chat Control.

[icon articles]Why are we blind to 99% of Child Abuse?

Child Abuse in on my mind right now. I have written a screenplay for a feature film that I'm already in early talks to produce. The bad guy in the movie is a child-rapist / child-killer. His presence alone justifies the anger of the heroes and creates the tension in the film. Yet I don't think I can make a movie that is a shlocky exploitation film. The subject matter is a bit too strong for something that careless.

Today UK is leading the way towards apocalypse when it comes to stupid, ageist child-safety bullshit. And the 2025 Danny Boyle's film 28 Years Later is secretly about that motherfucking thing.

[icon articles]How AI, ICE and Elon Musk Manipulate People Into Supporting Evil?

[thumbnail]

Elon Musk is now infamous for showing a Nazi-Salute when Donald Trump became the president for the second time. Yet, this is the same Elon Musk, who's cars were disliked by the same people who have a hard on Trump. People who like to burn gasoline. For them an electric-car company is an epitome of wokeness. It was very funny to see, then, Donald Trump making an ad-read to promote those cars, before realizing what he had done and deciding suddenly to hate on poor Musk. Was Musk playing a part of a Nazi? Was the Nazi-Salute a genius marketing move, to try to make the conservative public of the United States consider buying a car they so disliked? Or was it just a funny set of coincidences?

I find a lot of articles and news sources today that word themselves very strangely. They point out something that is wrong with some political system or other, but they use the word "illegal" to mean wrong.

A lot of people claim that they need to use proprietary software, either for work or something else. And the question is. Do they consent to it, or the existence of a need makes it some sort of a power dynamic?

[icon articles]Equal Rights to Kids

The main issue with freeing the kids, is that kids cannot vote. This is not un-doable. With slaves, slaves could not vote. But there were enough non-slaves that agreed that slaves should be freed. So it passed through. With women rights until some point in time women couldn't vote too. But there were enough men, who agreed with women. And now women can vote. Something like this has to happen with children's rights too.
