Marine Corps picks industry team to create a robot wingman of its own
Northrop will integrate systems on Kratos’ XQ-58 Valkyrie drone.
The Marine Corps has selected Northrop Grumman and Kratos to develop its forthcoming Marine Corps Air-Ground Task Force Uncrewed Expeditionary Tactical Aircraft (MUX TACAIR) Collaborative Combat Aircraft, an unmanned wingman that will fly alongside manned fighter jets.
Northrop will develop a mission kit and open-architecture software for Kratos’s existing VX-58 Valkyrie, according to a joint Thursday press release.
“With more than 20 successful flight demonstrations in operationally relevant environments, Northrop Grumman and Kratos are offering the U.S. Marine Corps a low risk, expedited path to MUX TACAIR mission capability and persistent joint crewed and uncrewed expeditionary operations,” the release said.

How 2020 election was stolen — Emerald Robinson
1. A few weeks before the 2024 election,@SenMullin and former Senator David Perdue finally arranged a meeting between Trump advisor Susie Wiles and the one man who could explain exactly how America’s election systems are rigged.
The meeting took place at Mar-a-Lago.
2. Susie Wiles had publicly said that election fraud was not real & that people who thought so were “crazy.”
After the briefing, she didn’t know what to think.
She asked for a piece of cake. She ate it slowly.
Then she made the decision: Trump’s team should be briefed too.
3. In the end, the man stayed at Mar-a-Lago for 3 days to brief everyone.
There was only man who Wiles trusted to confirm it all: @elonmusk
A call was made: the man found himself in a room with Musk.
Musk declined to sit through a full briefing.
“Just give me your data.”

Micro, meso, and macro levels of human understanding
This post is concerned with the micro, meso, and macro levels of existential semiotics and communicative thought, and how those levels affect human understanding.
- Micro levels are very small units of thought or communication. These can be words, phrases, gestures, etc. and the “psychological morphemes” that accompany them. A psychological morpheme is the smallest unit of an emotional or psychological response.
- Meso levels lie between macro and micro levels. Longer discourse, a sense that people have personalities or egos, and the basic ideas of any culture appear at this level.
- Macro levels are the larger abstract levels that sort of stand above the other two levels. Macro levels might include religious or scientific beliefs, political ideologies, long-term personal goals or strategies.
Most people most of the time socialize on the meso level, often with support from shared macro level beliefs or aims. For most people, the broad outlines of most emotions are defined and conditioned at the meso level. This is the level where the nuts and bolts of convention are found. This is the level that tosses the beach balls of conversation back and forth across the dinner table and that defines those balls. The meso level defines our subculture and how well or badly we conform to it. The meso level is necessary for much of social life and sort of fun, though it is by definition not very detailed or profound. It is something most people can agree on and work with fairly easily for an hour or two at a time.
Many people define themselves mainly on the meso level and judge others by their understanding of this level. Many subcultures become stifling or cloying because meso definitions are crude and tend to leave out the rich subjectivity of individuals. Macro definitions are not all that different from meso ones except that they tend to define group feelings more than meso definitions. Groups band together based on macro level assumptions about ideologies, science, religion, art, style, location, ethnicity, etc.
Since most people are unable to fully access micro levels of communication the rich subjectivity of the individual mind is rarely, if ever, communicated at all and almost never communicated well.
In other fields, micro levels are all important. For example, the invention of the microscope completely changed the way humans see and understand their world. All that was added by the microscope was greater resolution and detail in the visual sphere. From that arose germ theory, material sciences, modern biology, modern medicine, and much more.
Micro levels of communication are basic to how we understand ourselves and others. Poor micro communication skills consign us to communication that occurs only at meso or macro levels. This is a problem because meso and macro levels do not have sufficient detail and also because meso and macro levels become the only tools we have to decide what is going on. When we are forced to account for micro details with the crude tools of meso thought, we will make many mistakes. Eventually we become like the long-term cigarette-smoker whose (micro) alveoli have collapsed, destroying full use of the lungs.
Without the details of the microscope, people for millennia happily drank germ infested water. Without a way to resolve micro levels of communication, people today, as in the past, happily ingest multitudes of micro error—errors that make them ill.
Micro communication errors make us sick because we make many serious mistakes on this level and also because our minds are fully capable of comprehending the sort of detail we can find at the micro level. We speak and listen on many interpersonal levels like crude beasts when we are capable of very delicate and refined understanding.
FIML or a technique similar to it provides a method for grasping micro details. Doing FIML for a long time is like spending a long time using a microscope or telescope. You will start to see everything differently. Detailed micro analyses of interpersonal communication changes our understanding of micro communication and also both the meso and macro levels of existential semiotics and communicative thought. Microscopes allowed us to see germs in water and also to understand that some of those germs can kill us.

Psychological projection is a limited concept
Psychological projection is a well-known defense mechanism used by humans to:
defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities… by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.
The concept has some value as an analytical guideline but can also be highly misleading by pointing analyses in wrong directions.
One wrong direction is confirmation bias where an assessment of projection can lead to cherry picking and/or ignoring counter-evidence.
Another wrong direction can arise due to the false consensus effect, which “tends to lead to the perception of a consensus that does not exist.“
From a FIML point of view, psychological projection is a macro and meso level analysis which fundamentally ignores the importance of micro information. (See Micro, meso, and macro levels of human understanding.)
From a FIML point of view, a great deal of human psychology can only be understood by analyzing micro-level interactions in real-time.
This is so because only a FIML-type of analysis can access the actual micro-data that go into the formations of actual interpretations. In contrast, meso and macro level analyses arrive “fully loaded” with the biases endemic to those levels of communication and understanding.
Like the psychological concept personality, the concept of psychological projection has general descriptive value in some situations.
These concepts become counterproductive and limiting, however, when they are accepted off-the-shelf as important insights into specific situations or the behaviors of particular people.
I am very confident that micro data generally will not support most ready-made meso and macro analyses of human psychology or behavior.
