How Are The Studios Doing?

Hollywood's in big trouble. How much trouble? Well, if you lost half a trillion dollars in a year and were thanking a Scientologist for saving theatrical, quite a considerable amount of trouble. And it's real money; not just garbage writing for useless sequels and reboots. And guess what: it's not

An Anti-Corruption & Counter-Extremism (ACCE) Syllabus For Deprogramming Indoctrinated Students

We have a religious cult problem. Two generations of mortgage-less, spouse-less, sexually-deranged students out of university humanities' departments worshiping anything available: the climate apocalypse; embodied gender souls; holy gays in bright colours; slaves creating America; the "soul" of the unconscious mind; the god of the right side of history.

AI Machine Learning Is Already Being Corrupted By Mind Virus Ideology

If you're new to the subject of "algorithmic fairness", it's essentially the computer equivalent of "political correctness", or when a machine learning (ML) model lacks left-wing academic bias. Computers are objective to the point of amoral psychopathy. They cannot be subjective. That's a difficult conundrum for activists who (wrongly) claim

The Black List's Back, And It's Worse Than Ever

Hollywood has a lot of lists. The Black List. The Blood List. The Brown List. The Brit List. The Next List. Every December, the results of a survey among execs is "published" as the Black List. It's definitely not being gamed as a circle jerk of votes-for-favours, it's definitely not

It's Finally Time To Burn Down Parliament

Edmund Burke's idea of representative democracy, of MPs forming their own judgments, has collapsed and come to its end; our attorneys think themselves our rulers.

New Psychedelic Drugs With AI/Machine Learning, Using Searchable Clandestine Chemistry Data
