The most interesting part of a system is how it filters input. A filter must strike a balance between blocking malicious data but passing relevant data about external threats and hacking is about understanding these filters.

A lax filter allows malicious agents/code to gain control but a strict filter blinds a system and leads to systemic failure. For example, an MSM filter which CENSORS the truth about vaccine toxicity leads millions of people into bad decisions, disability and fatality.

A bad filter creates a divergence between Reality and Perception.

Eventually, improper filters can lead to a cultural breakdown or an imperial collapse. Some symptoms of a breakdown might be to:

  • Reduce energy production to improve living standards
  • Increase government spending to slow inflation
  • Threaten sanctions to foster international relations
  • Create an agency to fix mandated vaccine injuries
  • Add 87,000 IRS agents to audit 100 billionaires
  • Eliminate 107-year-old debt ceiling to control spending

You might run for president if you understood all this, hoping to reorganize the US empire into a sustainable form: reducing obligations, enemies and ambition. And you might be visciously opposed by the Status Quo.

Likewise, you might spend $44 billion to buy a communication venue, hoping to restore honest communication to prevent bad outcomes. And you might also be visciously opposed by the Status Quo.

It's a Tragedy of the Information Commons, where the means of communication are corrupted and redirected for the short-term benefit of a powerful minority, at the expense of long-term stability for everyone else.
