Possible scenario:

The atrocities shown on social media and the news are horrific and unacceptable. Influencers and everyday users now amplify these stories, sharing opinions to large, content-hungry audiences without credibility checks or platform support for structured debate. With access to tools once reserved for professional studios, they fuel the chaos yet feel compelled to act since the Western world is under attack.

There is a well known tai chi principle known as "pushing hands" (推手, tuī shǒu)  of applying pressure on all fronts to expose cracks and spot weaknesses that has been applied to the western world on the fronts of its institutions, culture, and economy. The principle is using minimal force over time from all angles simultaneously, redirecting energy, and applying pressure strategically rather than attacking directly to spot weaknesses.

Beliefs and criticisms of a failing society that include anti-establishment, late capitalist and radical political groups have been…

The entire structure and our ideas of people access and use the Internet are beginning to be redefined. Several countries have recently moved to censor web traffic, filter IPs and outright ban social media apps. At the same time, AI is devouring and replacing the software programs we know such as Google search.

Nepal just had country wide protests that evolved into political upheaval after they threatened to ban all social media apps when the parent companies refused Nepalese censorship guidelines. Gen Z protested at first, but after police killed 30 young people, the protests turned violent leading to political reform and the election of a new prime minister through a worlds first country wide election on discord - while media outliers have assigned the one peice flag as a symbol for their revolution, which in our opinion further pushes the fourth turning generational crisis narrative.

China has created the…

Massive social media censorship campaigns have recently been announced around the world to attempt to control the flow of information depending on government Internet rules and where you live. This comes at the same time 3 separate countries had PMs resign from political protests and citizen uprisings.

There has always been concern over social media’s impact on shaping people’s perspectives that we have discussed extensively in multiple blogs. Less so discussed and more importantly, the control certain parties can impart through information flows on popular social media apps. It seems in light of current events, countries are trying to limit the reality social media has crafted in people’s minds. More so than ever is it important to understand social media bias, manipulation, and replications of reality posed as reality. Read our blog to get insightful info on navigating the fourth turning crisis.

Should we be worried? The warnings are clear.

Experts are all over the internet talking about the dangers of ai in most interviews and podcasts.

Can someone create an ai that compiles every question an expert in ai has received about the future of this technology and find out how many of them talk about the dangers over the benefits — It seems like almost all of them are giving warnings about replacing jobs, super intelligence, deceiving the users, destroying the climate to build out the infrastructure and energy needs.

At the same time there’s talk about the fourth turning happening in politics and the economy which just increases the risk of these technologies being built out to maintain a grip regardless of its negative implications.

It's been said we've entered the Fourth Turning.

Thanks to Neil Howe, we have a framework to understand the cycles of history that explains a lot about the world's behaviors, political views, institutions, and dominant ideologies.

Each generation of people is classified because of collective experiences and memories. As generations age, they reach points or turnings where they replace the generation above them, and the next one fills in and assumes the previous generation's position in the world. These turnings mark significant changes in society. There are four turnings in the framework, with the last one ending in a major crisis as the oldest generation that was alive to remember the last crisis dies out. For us, WWII was the last time we had a Fourth Turning in history, and as the generations alive then die out, society enters the Fourth Turning again.

Fourth Turnings are bad, the most chaotic.…
