I keep saying this: the Democratic Party needs to disband in a highly public way, leaving a void to be filled by leaders who can read the room, know what time it is, and understand the assignment.
We are here because the legacy party did none of that.
What you are seeing is #DARVO, every day, all day, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
Your answers to questions about why certain private actors or entities are being tapped to speak for the government of the people, by the people, for the people: it’s an active coup.
The giant wooden horse is already inside the city walls, filled with Trojans spilling out into the streets.
Also, the intentions were telegraphed almost two years ago via #Project2025.
The MAGA mouth-breathers see Trump as an agent of chaos, distinct from Republicans of the past.
My $0.02.
It doesn't make sense to think that a very few number of very rich people have suddenly started to diligently and actively help regular, every day people who are working their jobs.
People who believe this are either avoiding thinking carefully about the situation, lack critical-thinking skills, or are in on the grift.
#sensemaking #CriticalThinking #ClassWarfare #InformationWarfare
If you’re not following @blogdiva, you’re missing out on active #sensemaking being practiced with discipline.
New #sensemaking frame just dropped:
We’re all living in the plot of the Muskovite Candidate™
Once you accept, our awful reality, that you did not fall out of a coconut tree, that you can adopt a #SystemsThinking approach, and internalize that racism is baked into everything, in the air, water, and earth we walk, that #CultureWars are a distraction from the #ClassWar which the oligarchy and plutocrats refer to when the “untermensch” fight back, it’s easier to practice #sensemaking.
Imagine.
It’s easy if you try.

The ability to practice #sensemaking is one of my personal qualities of effective #leadership.
Advanced in human-machine interactions have always resulted in altered states for humans.
It’s been like this since the #IndustrialRevolution.

I wrote this 6+ months ago.
I can’t predict the future, but I practice #sensemaking, and I can see around corners.
“Hear me now, believe me later”:
As a pragmatic realist who’s been pattern-matching and #sensemaking for decades, it’s gonna be •extremely• difficult to surprise me with new developments.
Like, when something good, positive, or non-harmful is revealed, discovered, or published, that will be unexpected.
Everything else is just meh.
Oscar Wilde famously said, “If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they’ll kill you.”
You’re witnesssing #BombsOverBaghdad for the #AdministrativeState of Babylon.
It’s a #ShockAndAwe campaign against the “Cathedral”, to undermine the #American Republic, hyper-target #institutions of the #GreatSociety, #NewDeal, then 13th through 19th Amendments, roll back the #Enlightenment, then manifest a society where the #Renaissance is “novel”.
The reason it’ll be semi-successful is because the average citizen has not been #ExtremelyOnline for 3+ decades to grok it all.
The authoritarian plan for #ClimateChange is to let the weather (i.e. fires, mud, snow, water, and wind) leave people without homes.
Then, they are homeless.
The homeless are criminals.
Criminals are slave labor.
Labor shortage solved.
I don’t make the rules.
Again, the problem is not that I’m wrong.
The problem is that you think I’m exaggerating.
#Sensemaking and #mentalhealth are related.
The deteriorating condition of one affects the other.

I think Israeli eschatologists see a future in which they occupy a garden of Eden surrounded by Amalekites.
It’s the only vision that aligns with #sensemaking.
It’s also delusional and nihilistic.
The last Personal Knowledge Mastery online workshop for 2024 starts on 14 October.

• self-paced
• focused on creating your own approach for sensemaking
• emphasizes learning in communities & networks
My #sensemaking is that the problems solved by digital, social, and cloud product builders was for the corporate #advertising and #marketing ecosystem: is it a good problem of the people to be hyperconnected?
The anti-choice zealots believe school shootings are a “fact of life” and that abortions are not.
This is a confession, not hypocrisy.
#Sensemaking the Shitshow
The condition we are observing in the body politic is Constitutional Derangement Syndrome.
There have been various documented derangement syndrome episodes in recent history.
This condition manifests itself in society for reasons. Those expressing Constitutional Derangement Syndrome begin losing control of their fans.
The reality they want to manifest is not a pretty image.
People who believe in ballots not bullets must maintain unity.

#AI math is a round peg trying to fit in a square #business hole.
The real costs are subsidized by #shareholders and #investors of startups.
The entire premise challenges #sensemaking and smells like a #RealityDistortionField.
The #American #CultureWars are complex, but if you reduce the conflicts, tensions, and power dynamics down to Thomas Jefferson vs Sally Hemings, things start to make a •lot• more sense.

Smart people whom I respect are developing and launching “digital twins” of themselves, as if what the market needs is a deepfake version of them.
I don’t understand.
People buy from other people.
Avatars are veneer-thin shells.
People crave authenticity.
AI is fake.
