Depuis un siècle, les sociétés occidentales vivaient sur une certitude implicite : chaque génération serait plus instruite, plus performante cognitivement et mieux armée intellectuellement que la précédente. Or cette dynamique historique semble aujourd'hui s'inverser. Baisse du niveau de lecture, fragilisation de l'attention, recul des compétences verbales : plusieurs études internationales montrent un déclin inédit de certaines capacités cognitives chez les jeunes générations.

Nous voici au point final. Après sept articles, un hors-série et un contre-champ, il nous faut maintenant formuler ce qui, depuis le début, était en gestation. Non plus décrire, mais diagnostiquer. Non plus raconter, mais juger.

Votre question est double, et elle est la seule qui vaille au terme de ce voyage. À quoi tient la survie de l'humanité ? Et à quel moment, dans quelles conditions, surgit le techno-fascisme ?

Comment les Oscars et la Palme vous préparent au meilleur des mondes.

Introduction : Le miroir aux alouettes

Chaque année, les fidèles du spectacle s'agenouillent devant l'écran, le cœur battant, pour assister à la litanie hollywoodienne des Oscars ou aux processions méditerranéennes de la Palme d'or. Ils ne le savent peut-être pas, mais ils participent à une opération de légitimation idéologique d'une rare sophistication.

The United States is rapidly heading toward a future that will require a decision from political authorities and elites of all types. The choice will be between peaceful radical decentralization-possibly including secession-on the one hand. On the other hand will be a ratcheting up of coercion and enforced "unity" to ensure political centralization.

The speed with which American polities proceed toward this situation will depend on two factors, both of which are already at play and contribute to ongoing talk of "national divorce" in the United States.

The majority of decisions in life aren't clear cut as they have both an upside and a downside (or multiple upsides and downsides). However, rather than being fully cognizant of the complexity of the decision, the human mind will typically narrow the picture and see only one side of the coin to reduce this large cognitive load.

Introduction

The economic influence of the United States can be seen in every continent on this planet. Its companies, financial institutions, military presence, scientific facilities, and tourists taking family trips remind nations all over the world that America, no matter its political troubles, will continue to operate. Although it would be an understatement to say that the image and capacity of America and its economy have come under hardship in the last decade, few truly understand the foundational principles that hold the entire American Empire together on the world stage.

There is news, or maybe just learned rumors, about a prolongation of the ceasefire between USrael and Iran.

US and Iran close to extend ceasefire by 60 days, reports Financial Times - Gulf Today

The United States and Iran are close to agreeing on a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war, two regional officials and a diplomat said on Saturday.

Iran signaled "narrowing differences" in negotiations with the US after Pakistan's army chief held more talks in Tehran, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told journalists in India that "there's been some progress made" and "there may be news later today."

In a recent interview on the Coin Telegraph YouTube channel, Peter takes aim at the growing use of leverage to buy Bitcoin, focusing on Strategy's (formerly Microstrategy) debt-fueled strategy and its risks for ordinary investors. He warns that borrowing to buy a volatile asset creates fragile finance that can wipe out retirements, and he contrasts Bitcoin's speculative appeal with his preferred hedges against currency debasement.

It's perfectly clear that the political West, its allies, vassals and satellite states, supported by the massive mainstream propaganda machine and other strategic assets, will stop at nothing to push their agenda and try to slow down the advent of a new, much fairer and more sustainable global system. Thus, for them, telling blatant lies about anything is "just another day at the office".

At all times and places it has been difficult to speak freely. Even the founding fathers had their Sedition Act of 1798 that criminalized statements against the US government. Shortly afterward President Thomas Jefferson got most of it repealed.

President Lincoln during his 1861-1865 invasion of the Confederate States of America had a de facto sedition act.

INTRODUCTION

For years, the global economy has survived on one fragile element disguised as stability: confidence. Governments called it growth. Banks called it recovery. Markets called it resilience. But beneath the carefully constructed optimism of modern financial systems, another reality has slowly emerged - one built on hidden shortages, expanding debt, weakened industrial production, strategic resource accumulation, and silent panic among institutions that publicly continue promising stability.
