Elon Musk casually announces he will rewrite history...
1737: Andrew Ramsay "Freemasonry will furnish the materials for a Universal Dictionary ... By this means the lights of ALL NATIONS WILL BE UNITED in one single work, which will be a universal library of all that is beautiful, great, luminous, solid, and useful in all the sciences and in all noble arts. This work will augment in each century, according to the increase of knowledge."
1936: H. G. Wells describes a "World Brain": a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent "World Encyclopedia" that could help WORLD CITIZENS make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to WORLD PEACE.
2025: Elon Musk announces his AI is "rewriting the corpus of human knowledge" to "correct the errors."
History is written by the victors, and AI is trained on it. (Yet another reason to train/use your own models -- #RightToCompute)

The World Microbiome Partnership (WMP) is an international forum founded in 2023 with funding from the EU Horizon 2020 to create a governance structure for microbiome manipulation across agriculture, medicine, and climate policy.
The WMP is aligned with the One Health and Planetary Health agendas (the same ones behind both the EAT-Lancet commissions "Planetary Health Diet" and the UN's Food Systems Summit that promises to eliminate animal agriculture).
WMP participants include the WHO, the CDC, NIH, and biotech firms. They promote the idea that microbial communities must be governed like other strategic assets.
The key thing to understand is that the technocrats are reframing the microbiome as critical infrastructure: more like an energy grid or communication network than a sacred, living ecosystem.
As biotech companies deploy platforms to build GMO microbes to do everything from "manufacturing", to biomarkers, to surveillance — the WMP seeks control of these novel systems, ...
A court in Vienna has caused a storm after confirming that a financial ruling based on Islamic law, or Sharia, is legally valid in Austria.
Critics say the judgment opens the door to “parallel justice” and undermines the country’s legal system.
The case began when two Muslim men agreed that any disputes between them would be settled by an Islamic arbitration panel using Sharia rules.
When a disagreement arose, the tribunal ordered one of them to pay €320,000. He refused, arguing that Sharia is open to different interpretations and goes against Austria’s core values.
But the Vienna Regional Court dismissed his appeal. Judges said Austrian law allows people to choose arbitration systems for financial and property disputes, as long as the result does not break Austria’s “fundamental legal values.”
The court added that it was not its role to examine whether Sharia itself was fair, but only whether the outcome contradicted Austrian law.
The ruling has sparked fierce criticism. Manfred ...
