"This Is Going To Be Far Worse Than The Great Depression..."

  I would gladly use the metaphor of the canary in the coal mine although it has now mutated into a pterodactyl with Norinchukin! 53 US banks are also said to be over 500 billion dollars in the red thanks to under-performing bonds. The scale of the loss is off the charts. We are approaching the financial singularity where the huge black hole of 5% interest rates in the US is gobbling and destroying the assets of countless investors who by nature were obliged to be "conservative"! 

 These investors forgot that you can only call bonds "conservative" when the governments issuing the debt are conservative although for the last 20 years a more accurate description of their attitude towards debt would be profligate!    

 What cannot last, won't. 2024 will not end "nicely"!

Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com,

Financial writer and precious metals broker Bill Holter has been documenting all the unpayable debt that has been building up in the financial system like cancer. 

The latest black hole of default is coming from a big bank in Japan.  Norinchukin Bank is selling $63 billion in Treasuries and other sovereign bonds to stay afloat.  Then there is recent news announced by the FDIC that 63 US banks (the names are being kept secret) have more than $500 billion in losses, and let’s not forget about the trillions in losses sitting on the books of European banks ready to suck the world into a black debt hole.  This is just a few of many on a long list of destabilizing problems that can tank the entire over-indebted financial system. 

Holter warns, “The list is so long..."

"it could be a banking problem.  It could be a derivatives problem.  It could be a derivatives problem in the stock market, the bond market and you could see a failure to deliver in silver.  Some type of warfare could crash the system.  You could see warfare in Ukraine, Israel or Tiawan. 

The system is so unstable, at this point, it could be anything that could bring it down. 

Unpayable debt is not just a US problem.  This is all over the world.  Central banks are having to issue huge amounts of debt because we are in the exponential decay phase.  We are exactly where Richard Russell said we would be 20 years ago.  It’s inflate or die, and the only way to inflate is to create more money supply.”

Add to that the $10 trillion in debt the US Government has to roll over by the end of the year.  Meanwhile, the US government piles on $1 trillion in new debt every 100 days.  What could go wrong?

Holter said the last time he was on USAW that there was a little less than a 50% chance we would even have an election.  Now, he predicts it is more likely there will be no 2024 Presidential Election.  Holter says:

There is no way the system, as it is now, survives.  It’s mathematically impossible.  So, if it is mathematically impossible, are they going to blow smoke . . . up until the day it blows up?  Or are they going to do something to blow it up and then say our programs and policies were working except for XYZ this or whatever. 

They have to kick the table over.  They cannot allow the table to fall over on its own because then there is going to be finger pointing.  To avoid the finger pointing, they have got to kick the table over.”

Holter also thinks gold is going to exponential numbers to back all the debt the USA has. 

If you go with the 8,030 tons of gold the government claims is in Fort Knox, you will need a dollar price of gold at “$125,000 per ounce for 100% gold backing of the dollar.”

Holter also says, “The dollar is being pushed out of the global financial system..."

"Demand for dollars is shrinking at a time when borrowing demand is rising.”  This is a going to be a disaster for America and anyone holding dollars in the future.

In closing, Holter says, “The financial collapse that is coming will be worse than anything we have ever experienced..."

"This is going to be far worse than the Great Depression simply because society itself is far worse. . . . Back in the Great Depression, you had neighbors helping neighbors.  Today you will have neighbors picking on other neighbors like vultures.”

Common Sense And Memes Are Viruses To The New World Order

  This is a fun, Sunday post but also a very important one.

  Here, we do not care about what you believe in or not, but explore the main weapon of the 21st Century: The meme! 

 If you want to fight back against propaganda and opinion molding medias, no need to argue eloquently with your opponents, just send memes. In any case, people have lost the ability to focus or even to read anything longer than a few lines. 

 Slogans shall be disfigured and maimed with memes! :-)

Authored by Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com,

The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.

– Albert Camus

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

– C.S. Lewis

Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.

– Albert Einstein

If there is one thing that became perfectly clear during my time in the dump truck, it is this:  The world runs on diesel. So every time I see a semi hauling a wind turbine, the following considerations come to mind:  How many blades have been transported for how many windmills in how many areas?  How much petroleum, or coal, or nuclear power, was utilized in the construction of said blades?  How many gallons of diesel fuel were used to excavate the ground to run power lines from the rural areas where the wind turbines are located?

For what genuine purpose are wind turbines planted? Who benefits? And how much maintenance will the turbines, subjected to the elements, require over time? What is the net payoff?

Certainly, wind power, or solar, or electric vehicles, for that matter, are not currently self-sustaining. Instead, these are now subsidized by false narratives, and tax-payer funds, all in the service of Anthropological Climate Change®, which is an epic lie.

Last fall, in a previous article under the paragraph heading “The electric school bus acid test…”, I described the electric school bus “sales pitch” being made to schools.  Consequently, earlier this month, I spoke to the transportation supervisor of our local school system and asked if he planned to order any electric vehicles this summer.  Fortunately, he said “no”.  He added that the superintendent was like-minded because of some information the supervisor had previously shared.  The supervisor said he had contacted the local utilities and was informed their power plant did not have the capacity to power a fleet of electric buses during peak usage.  Of course, peak usage occurs during the school year in a cold climate.

To be sure, narratives are so powerful because people believe them. Folks then act on their beliefs and sh*t happens.   This is why the global propaganda models remain ever-fluid and universal:  Problems are magnified via deception.  As a result, the reasoning of “authorities” seems quite noble to virtue-signaling ignoramuses eager to embrace the lies.  Tyranny ensues.

The War on Terror.  The War on Invisible Viruses.  The Wars against Foreign Aggressors. The War against Racism. The War against Sexism. The War against the Patriarchy. The War on the Weather.

Evidently, therefore, a correction is now required on my part:  The world runs on diesel and bullsh*t.   Except diesel is being phased out by climitards who Stand With Ukraine®.

Relativism, undeniably, trends in modernity.  And Orwell was right:

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.

— Orwell, George, ”1984”: part 2, chapter 9

So whether by Marxism or any other form of secular utopianism:  The goals are always out with the “old” and in with the “new”.  Order out of chaos.  Dissolve and coagulate.

Also like Orwell’s “1984”:  The world’s global societal power structure is stratified into concentric rings of power.  The Inner Party functions to continuously preserve and enrich itself; as the Outer Party (i.e. those following orders) and the Proles are utilized and cannibalized when necessary. The circles of power have become increasingly interconnected in modernity; and technology allows the Inner Party to launch policies that are enforced by the Outer Party and unto the Proles.

This process is also called “history”.

The Outer Party depends upon the Inner Party for survival and it always remains a difficult challenge to convince the Proles of something they can’t, or won’t, see.

As a result, history unwinds in inevitable, cyclical waves.  Yet, the Inner Party has survived for generations – even before the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and its unleashing of the modern Fractional Reserve Banking monster.

Slavery is rooted in economics; and so the Inner Party uses debt to implement and expand its various wars. The rich get richer as the poor suffer, starve, and die.

While driving the other day, I listened to an “expert” on AM radio discussing the vast increase of carbon in Earth’s atmosphere and the conclusion was this:  “Climate Change is real!”

The radio voice seemed very confident in its conclusions and, by implication, it was ready to do everything necessary to stop what it perceived as a genuine threat.  Always the same dialectics, again and again.

What’s wrong with carbon, again?

Is America having seizures? Or postmortem convulsions?

At this point in time, I am convinced it’s the latter.

While in communication with a retired retarded professor, she expressed exasperation at those who still plan to vote for Trump.  After all, he was convicted by a jury of his peers and is now a convicted felon.

In response, and from memory, I typed out a meme I saw on the internet:  “He lived over 70 years without a criminal record. But when he ran for president he was charged with over 90 crimes! How can you explain that?”

Silence.  But… oops!  Did you notice what I did there? Did you see how the Inner Party’s phony dialectics had me defending the proud promoter of Operation Warp Speed®?

Behind the proliferating Kayfabe FUBAR, however, the Inner Party works tirelessly toward the establishment of their New World Order by 2030:  A high-tech prison camp ruled by “stakeholders”.

When it was revealed that U.S. Senate ratification was required for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Pandemic “Treaty”, it was, instead, transitioned into an “agreement”Except that strategy went down in flames, too, at the WHO’s 77th World Health Assembly.  In response, Team Biden, China, and other unelected WHO totalitarians stealthily passed new International Health Regulations (IHR) behind closed doors. This was done on June 1, 2024 in Geneva, Switzerland.  The Ethiopian Communist, and WHO Director, Tedros Ghebreyesus, violated the IHR’s Article 55.2 eligibility requirements and with less than the required quorum of member states voting. This power grab was completely illegal and unlawfully elevated the WHO “from a global advisory-only body to an international enforcer of its mandates.

So we all better get the word out, before it’s too late.  Especially now that it’s another election year so flu season is almost here.

Politics is the religion of Marxists as well as all those who seek to establish any sort of earthly “utopia”.  But, to the Luciferians, Freemasons, and the friends of Jeffrey Epstein, politics is merely the means to their ends; and, in their view, communism has proven to be an efficient means to eventually control and depopulate political enemies and uncooperative Proles.

World War III is a War on the Petrodollar and it serves as just another means to facilitate the collapse of the West.  Accordingly, the high-speed daily saturation of arbitrary polemics has made it near impossible to discern, distill, and dispute what is occurring around the globe – which is, also, surely, part of the plan

The Inner Party was always long on communism; this is why U.S. manufacturing was gutted on behalf of China, and why the American economy has been Cloward & Pivened as corporate, political, and religious institutions have undergone Wokeification. The Inner Party’s desired NWO is an economic, political, and faith-based multi-polar dystopia; but, as I’ve stated before, any ideology, whatsoever, could be used as the “faith” to control the material and online realms: Fascism, Communism, Islam, Freemasonry, Luciferianism, Outer Space Aliens, or a witch’s brew of any, or all, of these to be administered as technocratic totalitarianism.

If Trump wins the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election he will surely embrace a new global order blended into separate (multi-national) economic regions.

Or maybe Trump will be imprisoned or killed before the election, thus, igniting the ever-simmering rage of American Patriots.

Toward whatever outcome, however, the fists of anti-democratic revolutions are forming, Left and Right.

The Inner Party has been successful, once again, in its efforts to distract and divide. This is so it can rule over fractious factions of enemies.  It’s a king’s strategy that has been applied continuously throughout history.

Even so, the memes march forward. They gather like torches in the dark.

I tried using AI. It scared me by Tom Scott (Video - 15mn)

  Already one year old but a pleasant and to the point video about AI. 

  Where are we on the sigmoid curve? From the answer, our future depends. 

  I and many other experts believe we're at the very start and that if it is the case then the time to worry is yesterday. The reason for this conclusion is complex but basically related to the fact that transformers brought us a new paradigm and if that is the case then nothing much will prevent the further scaling up of AI and the emergence of another newer paradigm. AI looks like THE revolution which will dwarf all the others. The sigmoid which starts like one but never ends: An exponential! 

 


The Zoo Hypothesis: The Creepy Solution to the Fermi Paradox (Video - 19mn)

  I am a believer in the Zoo hypothesis, but not only that. It all starts with the Rare Earth hypothesis. Living planets are rare and far away from each others. Most galaxies are unsuitable for life with too few elements for complex life to appear. Likewise, a large part of every galaxy is truly dangerous with too much radiations at the center and too little activity on the periphery. Reason why we are ideally located on the rim of a large, well evolved galaxy. 

 Then the Earth is the next hint. Close but not too close to a stable, long lasting star which doesn't flare or pulse or anything really. These are a minority compared to the huge numbers of dwarf, red stars which are also more variable. Medium size planet stabilized by a giant (relatively speaking) moon, not too much water, you end up with an ocean world like Europa, the moon of Jupiter, or not too little. Smaller planets will mostly have no atmosphere at all, Mars atmosphere is only 1% of the density of ours, or too much like the gas giants of our solar system. Likewise larger rocky planets will have a crushing gravity which guaranty that whatever may crawl there will not grow very big. 

 And then you need time for evolution to work its magic. Billions of years according to the only example of life we know. Surprisingly, life seems to occur early so although we do not yet understand the exact mechanism, it cannot be extraordinarily complex, but then it takes forever to create the nucleus and later multicellular organisms. Mitochondria, chloroplast and other miracles of evolution certainly take time and serendipity. A billion years can pass with nothing much happening as was the case on Earth. Why not 5 or 10? 

 By then a Cambrian type explosion happens which must be the next stage on every living planet. Everything gets fasten from then on. But evolution can stop due to major cataclysms. The Permian extinction for example wiped 90% of all species 252 million years ago. It could be 99% or even 100%!    

 We then get to intelligent beings. One thing we can be certain of: Life will necessarily create intelligence. We have intelligence in mammals of course but also in birds, parrots for example, and invertebrates such as octopus. Different paths, same results. Intelligence is guaranteed. 

 The rest is better documented since we know how intelligence created civilization. But there our experience stops. What happens later? We don't even have a clue.

 Or rather we do! As we observe the cosmos, the one thing we do not see are Star Trek or Star Wars spaceships darting across space. But could we actually see them if they existed? Or are these more likely the product of our imagination in the last century. A little more advanced than Jules Verne cannonball to go to the Moon but barely?  

 But then of course, on the other side, is the incredibly diverse zoo of UFO ostensibly visiting our planet with literally millions of accounts of pilots and other professionals of objects which are clearly not natural and often unbelievably strange. "A metallic sphere in a transparent cube" or "two giant linked green donuts" certainly qualify as rather unnatural and odd objects especially if they also happen to fly!       

 So, what to make of all this? 

 We cannot even predict where exactly AI will be or do in 10 years so needless to say that we have no clue what anything more advanced than us would look like. 

 This is why I personally believe in the zoo hypothesis. Nobody will contact us, ever. Such contacts probably make no sense. We will likewise never "find" advanced civilization according to the principle that "Wi-Fi" is invisible to stone age people. Conversely, soon enough, if we manage to not blow up everything, a big if, we will relatively quickly get hints that other living planets do exist. This should happen in the next 10 to 20 years. At some stage we'll get some "readings" from the composition of the atmosphere of alien planets which will show some mysterious unexplainable imbalance such as the presence of free oxygen. Then, we'll know we're not alone. Out of reach certainly, probably 20 to 30 light years away but not out of sight. Another 10 years and we will quickly be able to "see" such alien world.

 So, eventually, we'll get the answer to that question too, but the hard way. No spaceship on the lawn of the White House. No invasion. No nothing. Extra-terrestrial life will morph very slowly from Science Fiction to science over the years.


 

Oven-Like Conditions Result In Over 1,000 Deaths During Hajj In Saudi Arabia

  This has been presented as Global Warming but 52C is Saudi Arabia in Summer is quite normal and also very dangerous. I have the experience of walking in the desert by 50+C. It feels like a hair drier is blowing in your face with no respite. You need to drink a lot and feel dizzy after 10 minutes. The worst is that usually the nights are very cool in the desert which allows you to actually live at night or rest from the heat. But often in the Gulf and the Red Sea, the humidity is very high and temperatures consequently stay high all night creating a cumulative effect which is extremely exhausting for the body if you have no way to cool. Mountains are worst. Bone dry. The ground is so hot that you can't touch it. The only natural place to stay during the day is deep within a cave. There is a reason why nobody lives in those places!

Oven-Like Conditions Result In Over 1,000 Deaths During Hajj In Saudi Arabia

We explained earlier that the Hajj is the final of the five pillars of Islam, and requires that every Muslim who is of adult age complete the religious pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime, so long as they are financially and physically able. This means huge numbers descended on the city which is home to the shrine of the Kaaba in Saudi Arabia each year. More than 1.8 million people attended Hajj in 2023, approaching pre-pandemic levels. According to Saudi officials, they expect the figure to exceed the two million mark this year.

Not only are the massive crowds a problem, but this year the Saudi city is under an excessive heat warning, with highs at times having reached between 110 and 115°F during the day, and 100°F even at night. This has resulted in what could be a record amount of heat injuries and deaths by the pilgrimage season's end. On Monday the Saudi weather service recorded a temperature of 125 degrees Fahrenheit at Mecca's Grand Mosque.

100+ degree temps at night

The AFP reported Thursday that deaths from heat-related causes has surpassed 1,000 people amid the extreme conditions.

"The new deaths reported Thursday included 58 from Egypt, according to an Arab diplomat who provided a breakdown showing that of 658 Egyptians who passed away, 630 were unregistered pilgrims," AFP writes. Indonesia also reported a high number of heat-related casualties.

In total ten countries have reported 1,081 deaths so far during this annual pilgrimage season, the timing of which is determined by the lunar Islamic calendar. Last year there was a total of 313 deaths reported.

While authorities are estimating that over two million people are present for the religious rites, this includes possibly a couple hundred thousands of 'unauthorized' pilgrims, who may not have access to the established amenities, including cooling or water stations, that registered pilgrims have.

"This group was more vulnerable to the heat because, without official permits, they could not access air-conditioned spaces provided by Saudi authorities for the 1.8 million authorized pilgrims to cool down after hours of walking and praying outside," writes AFP.


Last Sunday alone saw over 2,700 cases of heat exhaustion, the Saudi foreign ministry had earlier announced.

Between heat exhaustion and heat stroke, the latter is the most serious, and includes a person's temperature rising rapidly as the body can no longer regulate it, and the ability to sweat fails, resulting in an inability to cool down. Dizziness, vomiting, fainting, and mental confusion are signs of potential heat exhaustion leading to heat stroke.

War in Lebanon looks more and more probable! (Video - 45mn)

  It's been brewing for quite some time now but the war with Lebanon is getting closer by the day. 

  The long monologue about tactical nuclear weapons is probably not on the agenda yet but tensions are clearly rising fast as Ukraine as facing the wall. 

  My personal take is that tensions will keep rising during the Summer to reach a climax in September. Consequently, the US elections in November will be under extreme pressure and may or may not take place. 

  Question: Can the market avoid a crash before then? Can the West prevent a Ukraine defeat in the next 6 months? Can a spill over of the coming war in Lebanon be avoided? Each of these events in isolation might be manageable but of course when the dam breaks everything tends to break in unison. We are without doubt entering a true 4th turning event. Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Martin Armstrong: They Need WW3 to Mask Dollar Collapse & Force CBDC (Video - 1h)

  We are on the edge. Martin Amrstrong with his long experience of Washington DC is a true insider and is adamant that the Western world is facing a wall of debt and sees war as the only option out. At this stage, there is simply no other way to interpret what is going on in the world so I concur.

  In a way, the message is the same as the one from Alex Jones, just at a higher level with the essential financial component which gives meaning to what is unfolding. 

  This is the exact opposite of conspiracy theory, the naked financial truth and justification for what's going on. Simple and terrifying! 

  His worst prediction? Hillary President! Talk about a nightmare! (This is not a political statement!)

  See the link below.

Martin Amrstrong Interview 

“Something BIG is about to happen” - EXCLUSIVE Alex Jones (Video - 21mn)

  OK, Alex Jones and populism! But behind this there is a real story of crushing all dissenting voices and total control of the narrative. Is he over the top? Sometimes, yes. But then again, such voices were tolerated in the past. They were the symbol of democracy. Not anymore and that really is the true story. 

 Is our society nothing but a shadow of its former self, both economically and politically? Without mention of the moral and social decay!


  The full video is available on Rumble below. 

 https://rumble.com/v52vhlz-something-big-is-about-to-happen-exclusive-alex-jones-interview-on-infowars.html?ytlive

  This as usual should be listen to with alarm bells on. Alex Jones believes in a lot of things which are to some extent, "hypothetical" to be kind. Still, with the shaft comes a lot of interesting things. Who really controls the system? That's one of the questions Alex Jones is asking and he should be allowed to do so! (As for the end of the talk about aliens, I switched off and went to other things :-)

Peter Zeihan on who is going to win the US election (Video - 31mn)

  Hard to find someone I more disagree with! And still among the neo-cons Peter Zeihan ranks among the most intelligent and forward looking you can find. He has the knacks and knowledge to integrate population and resources in his economic analysis so a lot of what he says is deep and to the point. Then in the end, the way you look at the world makes the difference. He expects China to crash and the US to be resurgent. We're certainly seeing a sharp slowdown of the Chinese economy. As for the comeback of the US, you won't find it in the streets of San Francisco!

  But he gets paid a fortune for his stuff and I don't so maybe from that perspective, he is the one on the right tracks! 


 

 

Where to get information from?

  21 Century has not been kind to information sources. A long time ago, in the last century, we still had a profession called journalism which was striving to bring us information. Often, the press was biased and partisan but even in the most oriented papers and magazines you could still find informative articles in which you could learn something valuable. Then came the 1990s and the Internet revolution which was supposed to open up the world. Instead, journalism lost it's main income source, advertising, and almost overnight became public relation mouthpiece for large corporations and propaganda engine for the state. 

  Since, finding information has become a struggle. No wounder people are reading blogs as this one. This is one of the very few places where relatively unbiased information is being curated and reprinted for public consumption. 

  As such, I regularly scan the Internet looking for deep articles with original angles on interesting and current subjects. And sometimes, as was the case yesterday, I find nothing!

  One great source of information, I have been using over the last few years has been Zero Hedge:  https://www.zerohedge.com/

 Zero Hedge used to be edgy although mostly talking about finance and related subjects. Then slowly, "deep state" style articles started appearing, one at a time first until recently where they represent over half their line up of articles. The rest being mostly trashy click-bait articles on irrelevant current events. 

 Then there is the Burning Platform style of news sites. Right wing, conservative stuff for chem-trail, flat earth, moon hoax believers. You find one diamond a week on what is mostly a pile of trash. https://www.theburningplatform.com/

 There are of course tens of other sites like Lew Rockwell but the problem there is that you don't know what you have until you've read the article. Not exactly convenient for a quick scan! https://www.lewrockwell.com/

 And then there are videos. Unfortunately, on this blog hosted by Google, posting videos from YouTube is easy and from everywhere else in particular Rumble far more difficult. YouTube used to be a great source of videos until they started censoring left and right so that now, what is left is little better that what was there at the very beginning: "A day at the Zoo!" If I remember correctly the name of their very first video 20 years ago. 

  And if all this was not bad enough, now, we are starting to feel the effect of AI on news filtering, censorship and far more insidiously, bubble making.  

  If you're like me and try to understand the world, the ONE thing you do not want is web site like YouTube slowly encircling you with the same stuff specifically designed for your taste while slowly distancing you from interesting stuff by omission, cancelling and burying. There are still ways to avoid this but it's getting more and more difficult almost by the day. It was already hard with cookies, and now becoming almost impossible in the cookie-less world of mobile and machine number recognition. 

  I am already using ChatGPT regularly for advice on many subjects. It is simply amazing if you know what you are doing. Although there too the risk of manipulation will soon rise exponentially since slowly the AI will learn to know us better than we do and will consequently acquire unbelievable power through these means. As long as you're manipulating people and they are aware of it, you're doing a bad job! AI will not. It is truly on the verge of becoming more intelligent than we are. 

  Concerning YouTube for example, here's the suggestion of ChatGPT. 

To escape from profiling and get more diverse and neutral suggestions on platforms like YouTube, you can try the following strategies:

  1. Use Incognito or Private Browsing Mode:

    • When you browse in incognito or private mode, your browsing history and cookies are not saved, which can help you get more neutral suggestions.
  2. Sign Out of Your Account:

    • Use YouTube without signing into your account. This can prevent the algorithm from using your profile to suggest videos.
  3. Clear Your Watch and Search History Regularly:

    • Periodically clear your YouTube watch history and search history. This can reset the algorithm and provide more varied suggestions.
  4. Create a New Account:

    • Consider creating a new YouTube account for a fresh start. Avoid watching too many similar videos in the beginning to keep the suggestions broad.
  5. Use a VPN:

    • Using a VPN can mask your IP address, which might lead to more diverse suggestions based on different geographical locations.
  6. Manually Explore Different Content:

    • Actively search for and watch a variety of content that interests you. This can help diversify your suggestions over time.
  7. Use Browser Extensions or Tools:

    • Some browser extensions can help you see more diverse content. Extensions like "Unhook" for Chrome can remove algorithmic suggestions and show you more random or trending content.
  8. Adjust Your YouTube Settings:

    • YouTube settings allow you to manage your data. Go to Settings > History & Privacy and manage your watch history and search history. Turn off the "Include your YouTube activity from the web" and "Include your YouTube activity from the app" options to limit tracking.
  9. Use Alternative Platforms:

    • Explore other video platforms that might have different recommendation algorithms or less aggressive profiling.
  10. Provide Feedback to YouTube:

    • Use the "Not interested" option on videos you don't like. This helps improve the algorithm's understanding of your preferences, but it can take time to see significant changes.

By incorporating these strategies, you can help mitigate the impact of YouTube's profiling and receive more neutral and varied suggestions, enhancing your overall viewing experience.

 

Why am I afraid of AI and why should you too?

  About 10 years ago, I started working with early AI models. The first thing we started doing was not AI at all. We were calling it: The Ra...
