The Information Equilibrium

  Why Freedom Is Losing   Our nation is in a real war, it is a war that has been waged for a millennium prior to the founding of the United States of America, and it is a war that will continue for the next millennia and more.   It is a Cognitive War.   In simple terms the Cognitive War is a war between those who seek to advance tyranny, control, and subjugation versus those who seek to advance freedom, humanity, and democracy.   It is a war of ideas, ideology, and narratives –enabled by varied means, methods, and measures –to include at times violence, kinetics, and asymmetric warfare.   It is a war in which deception, deceit and dystopian views are crafted in a manner to be passed off as the truth and fact.   And it is a war that is occurring globally and domestically.   I define the Cognitive Domain as: The domain of the human mind -ideas, ideology, function, reason, etc.   The Cognitive Domain encompasses all other domains -the um...

It’s been ongoing since the dawn of mankind. It is between good and evil. The basic principles have not, and will not, change. On the side of evil, we see those who seek the control and subjugation of others aligned to the seven deadly sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. On the side of good we see those who seek to advance humanity, the rule of law, freedom, independence, opportunity, and security of not only the individual but society.   The main battlefield for this war has not changed. It is taking place in the cognitive domain – the domain. I call this battle between good and evil, a Cognitiv...
