  • Living in Denmark, I have tried bringing things up about chat control in the office and outside, and Danes’ reaction come in 2 flavors:

    • “Peter Hummelgård is an idiot”, by those who didn’t vote for one of the “left-centrist” parties governing right now.
    • Silence.

    It is really the same reaction.

    Also, I am surprised by how many people here learn from me that the Danish police is working with Palantir.

    But Denmark is a place where the main issue right now that there are local elections is that there will be a way too high percentage of foreigners voting, mostly because the number of Danes going to vote have been dwindling for some time.

    I guess chat control and Palantir are technologies built for the kind of people who don’t trust the “foreign neighbor who is into politics”.












  • The French Revolution was also supported by the outspoken writings and speeches of an intellectual élite that came to shape most of what European culture has evolved to since.

    This élite demanded education for the masses, freedom of the press, derived a non-religious base for social order from the natural laws discovered and popularized by the Enlightenment.

    Now… the USA… intellectual élite… rich people spending to educate the masses… naah, don’t see it.

    This guy may actually be among the best they can recruit.
