The Post-Partisan Emporium

  An Illusion of Philanthropy by Hans Vogel Hans Vogel outlines the historical rise of robber barons and their legacy of influence through modern-day globalist philanthropy, showing how charitable foundations and NGOs, guided by the money-driven mindset of their predecessors, now shape international agendas on issues from climate policy to public health. When around 1900 the US economy was  growing  at dizzying rates, a small number of entrepreneurs became extraordinarily successful. That success was measured by a single standard: money. They amassed dazzling amount of dollars. Though none of them was called Scrooge McDuck, they were at least as rich and could swim in coin-filled pools. John Pierpont Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Henry M. Flagler and dozens of tycoons made fortunes so enormous as had hardly ever been seen before.

  The fatal flaw in Artificial Intelligence: Climate Change? by Leigh Haugen AI’s role in amplifying dominant narratives will continue to stifle dissent, limit open debate, and impose restrictive controls on society. If we allow this to continue unchecked, AI will become a tool for shaping thought, controlling discourse, and eroding the very freedoms it was meant to empower.

These models, however, are fundamentally shaped by the data that feeds them—data taken from the internet, which is itself a collection of human input. While AI has the potential to aid in a variety of fields, there is a glaring flaw inherent to its very design: its reliance on human data. If this...

Identitarian movements across Europe (including in Austria, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany) have used the theory to recruit others to their cause, claiming their countries and national “identities” are under threat due to increasing immigrant populations. It is true, in part, that Camus made this argument. Some elements of his philosophy are racist and do offer apparent rationales for religious bigotry.
