Cybernetics, control theory as it is applied to complex systems. Cybernetics is associated with models in which a monitor compares what is happening to a system at various sampling times with some standard of what should be happening, and a controller adjusts the system’s behaviour accordingly.
The term cybernetics comes from the ancient Greek word kybernetikos (“good at steering”), referring to the art of the helmsman. In the first half of the 19th century, the French physicist André-Marie Ampère, in his classification of the sciences, suggested that the still nonexistent science of the control of governments be called cybernetics. The term was soon forgotten, however, and it was not used again until the American mathematician Norbert Wiener published his book Cybernetics in 1948. In that book Wiener made reference to an 1868 article by the British physicist James Clerk Maxwell on governors and pointed out that the term governor is derived, via Latin, from the same Greek word that gives rise to cybernetics. The date of Wiener’s publication is generally accepted as marking the birth of cybernetics as an independent science.
Wiener defined cybernetics as “the science of control and communications in the animal and machine.” This definition relates cybernetics closely with the theory of automatic control and also with physiology, particularly the physiology of the nervous system. For instance, a “controller” might be the human brain, which might receive signals from a “monitor” (the eyes) regarding the distance between a reaching hand and an object to be picked up. The information sent by the monitor to the controller is called feedback, and on the basis of this feedback the controller might issue instructions to bring the observed behaviour (the reach of the hand) closer to the desired behaviour (the picking up of the object). Indeed, some of the earliest work done in cybernetics was the study of control rules by which human action takes place, with the goal of constructing artificial limbs that could be tied in with the brain.
In subsequent years the computer and the areas of mathematics related to it (e.g., mathematical logic) had a great influence on the development of cybernetics—for the simple reason that computers can be used not only for automatic calculation but also for all conversions of information, including the various types of information processing used in control systems. This enhanced ability of computers has made possible two different views of cybernetics. The narrower view, common in Western countries, defines cybernetics as the science of the control of complex systems of various types—technical, biological, or social. In many Western countries particular emphasis is given to aspects of cybernetics used in the generation of control systems in technology and in living organisms. A broader view of cybernetics arose in Russia and the other Soviet republics and prevailed there for many years. In this broader definition, cybernetics includes not only the science of control but all forms of information processing as well. In this way computer science, considered a separate discipline in the West, is included as one of the component parts of cybernetics.
By seizing control of the psycholinguistic constellation of words and concepts within societies and fractally within individuals, societies and individuals are controlled by a cybernetic feedback loop that is self-sustaining.
This fully explains the why of speech controls (censorship, shaming, invention of new terms, etc) and how this leads very quickly to formation of a control mechanism for all of society.
The algorithms that control search engines and social media posts are extremely powerful cybernetic control mechanisms. As of today and probably well into whatever future arises, everything depends on the people (and their digital machines) that control societal cybernetics. As of today, there is no way to control those people.
It will probably always be easy for independent thinkers to see what is happening but never possible for them to effect change unless they are at the very top of the hierarchy which controls the cybernetics.
At the same time, it will always be all but impossible for independent thinkers lower down in the hierarchy to bring enough of the population to see what is happening and effect change from the bottom.
Independents and a responsive base of people at the bottom may occasionally effect some change, but the top has so much more control none of those bottom-up changes will matter for long if they matter at all. Everything we see in the world today supports this view. ABN
In my few years on this platform, I’ve never received such an outpouring of hate for a post.. and on one hand, I get it – I spoke a bit harshly, flippantly and inartfully, and a cathartic post I thought might get just a handful of likes and largely be ignored was passed through networks of tens of thousands of folks who have no idea of who I am or where I’m coming from.
I also said some jarring things.. that I’m sure even upset a handful of genuine and well-meaning people.
but.. along with the outpouring of hatred, it’s also near 10k ‘likes’, indicating that I’m far from alone, here.. even if most who agree would rather stay silent, for the moment.
I wanted to just say a few words about this divide, because I think it’s an exceptionally significant and era-defining one:
Many of you have absolutely no idea how disconnected many young men feel – especially White males – when it comes to the general trajectory of their nation(s), over recent decades. It no longer feels familiar, comfortable, or like home.
As some of my recently posted images show, we’re being essentially locked out of the corporate world, with Bloomberg bragging about how 95% of new hires are non-White.. we’re now (by far – and it’s not even close) the most aggressively discriminated against group with regard to Ivy league admissions. Hollywood and corporate media has long been completely dominated by a hostile group, so there aren’t options there.. trying to get a job in tech – esp in a place like SF, as a non ‘woke’ White male – is the steepest of uphill battles.. one could go on listing examples here for quite awhile.
A great many now openly laugh at and mock these hopeless and disaffected, as the income of White Americans plummets (now far below the Indian and Chinese migrants our corporations import – and no longer even in the same ballpark as Jewish-Americans), depression and suicide and drug addiction rates skyrocket, and we’re increasingly locked out of this new world being created by the Finks, Soros’, Rothschilds, and their political/financial class allies and puppets.
In a very real sense, it’s killing many of us.. and a large subset on the other side actually seems thrilled by this.
Moreover, historical cycles seem to be repeating.. a leading reason Rome fell is because she essentially opened her floodgates, granted citizenship to all, and eventually lost her unique spirit. In attempting to represent absolutely everything and everyone, she ended up representing no one, and a nihilistic apathy inevitably came to dominate. Late stage Rome became a mere corporate/economic construct – empty, void of substance, seeking power only to enrich the grasping/ambitious parasites and vultures feeding off of her once great corpse.
Not only are our own borders wide open, in the U.S., but we’re now openly discussing the prospect of allowing the tens of millions of illegals to enlist.. a shift that would’ve been unbelievable, even just a decade ago. Every day this nation feels less and less recognizable, and less like home, to so many of us.
Anyone who thinks our founding fathers – or those courageous (if misled) men who stormed Normandy – would look at this trajectory and applaud it, is either ignorant or foolish.
In the absence of substantive unifying factors, we’re told we should rally around vague ideas, and concepts – for example, many still claim our armed forces fight for ‘our freedoms’.. even as members of our political class literally fly to Israel, to sign bills restricting the speech of their own citizens, and as nearly half the nation loses all faith in the legitimacy of our elections, while our gov’t increasingly openly speaks of us as the enemy.
Many of us feel our political class (and our nation as a whole) has essentially been captured, and we intuit only hatred and malevolence emanating from the top, from men like Mayorkas, or our puppet President.. and virtually nothing about this new world resonates with us, or inspires or energizes – as we watch our streets get ever dirtier and less safe, IQ and life expectancy falling, our quality of life and general standards of behavior drop to ever new lows, those who dare say a word about it tend to be met with a conditioned response of ‘incel’, or accusations of being a hateful racist/misogynist.. or, just told we’re generally terrible people.
You can mock, deride, cheer on this wholesale replacement and aggressive disempowerment – but don’t expect us to join you in the cheering this brutally disheartening downward spiral and civilizational collapse.. and I’d suggest you mock (or completely ignore) these voices at your own peril.
The anger is real, and much of it is justified.. and if we’re not able to have honest and difficult conversations soon, I strongly suspect we’re all headed to a very dark place.
Four days after German chemist Dr. Andreas Noack released his final video on graphene hydroxide, he was seized by a sudden unexplained attack that caused paralysis, weakness, profound disorientation (like he was drunk), and collapse with loss of breathing. His pregnant wife described the event in two videos. In the first video, her description led early listeners to assume that Dr. Noack was physically attacked, but that was not the case. In the second video, Dr. Noack’s partner further explained that she suspected he was struck by some kind of directed energy weapon (and reported at one point that the electricity went out just before he was incapacitated.)
This would not be the first time that Dr. Noack was attacked prior to his sudden and unexpected death, as he was assaulted by police the year before in Nov. 2020. During live filming, Dr. Noack suddenly interrupted his discussion, and pounding and yelling could be heard from the next room. Even without translation, the video is extraordinarily chilling. Police, yelling in German, barge into Dr. Noack’s studio, wearing face masks and bulletproof vests, all in black and carrying weapons. They wrestle the doctor to the floor, and eventually, one of the police, himself panting with anxiety, disables the camera as raised voices continue off-camera. I had to locate this video in archives as it had been erased from internet links.
We are being controlled, steered, managed, stifled, misdirected, propagandized, lied to, frightened, restrained, repressed, and generally bamboozled at every turn.
Politically, virtually everything we see throughout the West entails rapidly increasing totalitarianism, total state-control of the human mind. What is not yet widely recognized among those who can see what is happening is totalitarianism is often violent at precise individual levels. It is very plausible that Noack was murdered with a directed energy weapon. His violent death was meant to send a signal to others.
At less conspicuous levels, totalitarian violence is employed not to kill individuals but to to weaken or destroy them, thereby also weakening their communities. Typically, violence of this nature is done clandestinely against promising children and young adults to disable them before they can cause the totalitarians any trouble. Poison, psychosurgery, sensory damage, psychological isolation and more are the tactics used. By weaking or disabling the young, they weaken their entire community.
Israel has used this tactic for decades against Palestinians. Shooting children in the eyes or ears with rubber bullets or the knees with real ones can disable individuals for life. Random arrests and torture, psychological or otherwise, can be as harmful as psychosurgery or accompany it. ABN
Anyone acting in good faith understands that murdering 30,000 innocent people has nothing to do with eliminating Hamas. Operation Iron Glaive appears for what it is: a cover to realize the old dream pursued by Jewish fascists from Jabotinsky to Netanyahu: to expel the Arab population from Palestine. From then on, this mass crime, committed for the first time live on television, turned the world’s political chessboard upside down. Feeling threatened, the Jewish supremacists themselves threatened the United States. Anxious to remain masters of the “free world”, the United States is preparing to topple the Jewish supremacists.
The world is controlled by violent gangs. In the next election, which almost certainly will be stolen, our only choice will be to support the gang we think will do the most good for USA. ABN
If you have ever spent time around wealthy people, you know that many of them suffer immensely. When we are poor or of modest means, we may envy the rich and powerful, but they do go overboard quite often. A modest life based on sound ethics is a common recommendation among wisdom traditions largely for this reason. ABN
Contrary to what has long been believed, there was no peaceful transition of power from hunter-gather societies to farming communities in Europe, with new advanced DNA analysis revealing that the newcomers slaughtered the existing population, completely wiping them out within a few generations.
Researchers from Sweden’s Lund University analyzed skeletons and teeth found in what is now Denmark, and found that 5,900 years ago, the region underwent a swift and total population change. Prior to this, Danish Mesolithic people of the Maglemose, Kongemose and Ertebølle cultures – genetically related to other Western European hunter-gatherers – were prominent inhabitants. But when Neolithic farmers arrived, an abrupt shift can be seen in DNA records, with next to no genetic contribution from the local hunter-gatherers.
Tracing the DNA timeline, the researchers could see that the hunter-gatherers had been swiftly wiped out by the late Stone Age, in what they suspect was a very bloody and very thorough takeover.
“This transition has previously been presented as peaceful,” said Anne Birgitte Nielsen, geology researcher and head of the Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory at Lund University. “However, our study indicates the opposite. In addition to violent death, it is likely that new pathogens from livestock finished off many gatherers.”
However, it seems what goes around comes around. Some 1,000 years later, around 4,850 years ago, these farming communities suffered a similar fate, with the arrival of a ‘big-boned’ semi-nomadic group with origins tied to the livestock-herding Yamnaya of southern Russia. Again, DNA evidence suggests violent battles and the introduction of new pathogens caused another swift genetic shakeup.
The newest arrivals, who tamed animals, kept cattle and traversed the land via horse and cart, would prevail in the region; after this tumultuous period, the area was settled by a population tied to the Yamnaya and Eastern European Neolithic peoples. The genetic profile of these settlers remains dominant in Denmark today, with no trace of the first farmers, or the hunter-gatherers before them, at all.
With the rapid rate of distinctive DNA turnover and the a lack of mingling genetics, all signs point to overpowering conflicts that completely anihillated existing communities. Turning previous theories upside down, the researchers add that this new information also sheds light on migration and the movement of pathogens. Scientists have high hopes that advances in the sequencing of ancient DNA (aDNA) will soon lead to a better understanding and treatment of present-day disease.
I conclude from this and many other signs that the cabal running Russia is better than the cabal running USA & the West. I am resigned to all societies having an elite or cabal and I am fine with that as long as they do a good job. As long as they don’t steal everything, don’t destroy the culture, follow the laws at least most of the time, love the people they govern. Our cabal either hates us (they do) or (to pretend I don’t know) acts like they hate us. They definitely are not doing a good job for anyone but themselves. All signs point to them waging a war of annihilation against us. ABN

Bret is a professional biologist or evolutionary biologist, yet he made this elementary mistake and sounds perfectly reasonable while discussing it. He did similar for early lockdowns when he said extremely strict lockdowns in USA would have ended the ‘pandemic’ in two weeks. I am not trying to run Bret down but to illustrate why his continuous refusal to simply admit he was wrong and correct his mistakes is a problem. I have not deeply studied Bret or his work so I may be wrong on these details, but that’s how the story has appeared to me since his Carlson interview, and before but to a much lesser extent. Covid, climate, vaxxes, diet, sociology and almost all other major topics that lend themselves to corruption are rife with glaring errors and individuals calling themselves professionals who not only fail to correct those errors, but repeat them.
