The Paranoid Edge
Somewhere in the haze of NSA intercepts and Russian war games, an uncomfortable truth slouches into focus: the United States has stumbled into a game it cannot win. Not because of some grand tactical error or an intelligence failure in Langley, but because of something far more insidious. The Russians—led by men like Putin and…

Autopsy #2
The whole game of political analysis is about as useful now as a typewriter at a hacker convention—an artifact from a time when the masses had to nod their heads to a single “correct” interpretation of reality. But we’ve left that world behind, thanks to the glorious, unrelenting chaos unleashed by network technology. The internet…

Fear and Loathing In The Campaign
I am a many-issues voter. By now, I want them all to lose, every last one of them. Putin and Zelensky can tango into obscurity, locked forever in some insane echo chamber of their own making, each one screaming “Traitor!” into the other’s face. Trump and Harris? They should lose in such spectacular fashion that…

Dragons
{Scene: A cozy library lined with leather-bound books. Jordan Peterson and Richard Dawkins sit across from each other in large armchairs. A fireplace crackles behind them. Peterson wears a look of intense seriousness; Dawkins looks mildly skeptical but intrigued.] Jordan Peterson: Well, you see, Richard, the dragon is real. Not in the sense of flesh…

As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, the intersection of national security and digital finance has become a point of intense scrutiny, particularly regarding the capabilities of state actors like the Shin Bet, the Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) and Mossad. Given the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, the focus often shifts to…
