The Madness of the AI Race – Stop Before We Succeed
Superintelligent AI doesn’t need to be malevolent to be catastrophic. The existential risk, according to MIRI’s Nate Soares, comes from indifference – a system smart enough to reshape the planet according to its own requirements, with no particular interest in whether humans survive the process. We are building that system now, without understanding it, in…

The AI Industry Has a Problem, and It’s Getting Worse
Years of job-loss warnings, billion-dollar announcements, and god-like claims about technology that often can’t reliably count to ten have quietly built up a head of public resentment.

The Digital Leash: Why the “Brit Card” is a Disgrace
Is the proposed UK digital ID scheme a genuine tool for security, or is it a technocratic surveillance system designed to monitor and control every aspect of British life?

The Fear Isn’t About Change. It’s About Weak Leadership.
In Brief: We’re a country run by people who have all the power but none of the courage. Every time something dreadful happens, we hear the same line: “We’ll do everything in our power to make sure it never happens again.” But they already have the power. They make the laws. They set the policies. They could act…

What Happens When You Exceed Your Food Carbon Score?
In Summary: Carbon scoring on UK food isn’t coming, it’s here. Oatly started publishing carbon footprints on products in the UK back in 2019, but the system has accelerated significantly since September 2021 when Foundation Earth launched its pilot eco-labelling scheme backed by M&S, Costa Coffee, Sainsbury’s, Co-op, and Nestlé.

Big Tech Is Stealing Your Life and You’re Paying for It
This video addresses a harrowing question: How much of our finite lives are we actually surrendering to Big Tech, and what is the true cost of our “free” social media addiction?

The UN Agenda Hiding in Your Council’s Filing Cabinet
In Summary: Since 1997, over 400 UK councils have adopted Local Agenda 21 frameworks originating from the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio, facilitated by an international organisation called ICLEI that councils joined using ratepayer money. Tony Blair challenged all local authorities to implement these strategies by 2000, and though technically voluntary, the frameworks quickly…

What UN Agenda 21 Really Says About Control
In Summary: Agenda 21 is a 300-page United Nations document adopted by 178 countries in 1992 that outlines a comprehensive plan for “sustainable development.” Whilst it’s technically non-binding, it establishes international frameworks for restructuring how humans live: where populations should be concentrated, how land should be used, what consumption patterns are acceptable, and how resources…
