From Satire to State Policy, South Park’s 28 year old “It’s coming right for us!” meme becomes reality as Trump justifies deadly strikes on drug boats with flimsy self-defence claims.

Today, we argue that the conversational style of AI, specifically its impartial affirmations and polished tone, fosters inflated perceptions of intelligence.

Strongman politics looks like strength. In reality, it breeds weakness. Our new piece explores the paradox: leaders who claim power by making their people dependent. #StrongmanPolitics #HollowPower #Democracy #PoliticalPsychology

Why do we forget most of our dreams upon waking? Freud thought it was about psychic resistance; the mind protecting itself from repressed wishes. Modern neuroscience shows a more nuanced picture: low norepinephrine in REM sleep, state-dependent memory, and waking interference all play a role.
