There is a limit to what computers can do, but it's way beyond binary choices. Three in binary is 10, no problem. Computers excel at finding signals in complex data sets.

You suggest one reason for binary choices in the form of Divide and Conquer.

A second reason may be the promotion of "quick thinking". If you are in danger or afraid, the brain quickly chooses between Fight or Flight, for example. When you "think slow" you evaluate multiple options using thought processes like reductive or holistic reasoning. To steer us, our shepherds place us in "quick thinking" mode, and provide two alternatives that both suit the shepherds.

I was just writing a list of what we can do about our being "transitioned" in to an Orwellian world when this article popped into my inbox.

"...we simply need to look in the mirror and take personal responsibility. Only when we understand that it is our duty as human beings to think critically and question everything will we be ready to truly cooperate" goes straight to the top of the list! Everything else will follow.

Superb article.

"This is a tried and tested online marketing strategy"

Yeah, as a marketer, this is called A/B split-testing, and as you say has been used in affiliate marketing (then later social media marketing) for at least the last fifteen years.

On any issue, I always try and stand back and work out what "pysop" may be in play (can we call this "the third way", or "middle way"?). This always upsets the normies but also occasionally upsets people on our side too. E.g. after following Riley Waggaman, I'm not convinced that Putin isn't some kind of controlled opposition. The latest Project Veritas/Pfizer kerfuffle doesn't add up for me either, and that seems to be another binary choice that's being pushed.

Very interesting indeed. Thanks!

I have never voted in my life... I have always known and understood that the idiots are in the majority, so it is certain that they will win.

I have arrived at my modus vivendi and it is that humanity lives in a world of binary choices executed via the if/then conditional and based solely on self interest. We are after all simply a living organism and are merely fulfilling the primary secondary and tertiary functions of all living organisms.

You have it in a nutshell.

Many people don't realise what the EU have in store for them. The "Smart" term is actually a veil/camouflage for installation of tracking or information devices for monitoring of people. THE SMART GRID

I was reading up on Smart energy devices and noticed this.

Workpackage D (WPD) of ESSnet Big Data focuses on smart energy meters and more particularly on electricity meters which can be monitored continuously at a distance. Its objective is to implement smart meter data for the production of statistics on businesses and households <bold>and for identifying vacant or seasonally/temporarily occupied dwellings,<bold> by linking the electricity data with data from administrative sources.

Just a quick one to say thank you for another perceptive and timely post Iain.

Just excellent, Iain, as ever. Thank you.

I'm upgrading.

We will evolve.

I wrote about it myself here, and information warfare, in my own strange way. I write about my journey towards self-sufficiency in the face of 4IR. You use the flock metaphor - I watch mine daily. What it reveals is often more heartening than might be feared.

Dear Iain, why I am not allowed to pay you the Euro 70? It's the second time failing! Tomorrow morning I will be in my bank and give them the order personally! Your work is sooo special! I read your book, some months ago, and saw your talk with Witney Webb again! YouTube banned me totally! It is because it is!

Greetings from Greece

With best regards,

Gerhard Paul Burger.

I was re reading your GcMAF article just the other day.

The evils of pharma and their pet regulators are something to behold.

Would an update regarding the technology and the fate of Noakes etc be possible?

Thanks

Tim
