I see manipulation everywhere i look and not just in the stockmarket where it's endemic. Manipulation has become so all pevasive across every aspect of human affairs, that it's now difficult for people to even agree on the fundamental elements of any given event (let alone before they all start arguing about it).
My strategy therefore, to combat this is to look for the biggest, most problematic manipulation which in the case of ITM leads straight to climate change and the need to stop burning fossil fuels asap and to rapidly adopt the carbon neutral technologies required for our future energy needs.
COP 28 is currently attempting to agree a statement that even just mentions fossil fuels for the very first time and thus, the optimism that investors thought had to favour ITM (and all the other carbon neutral solution companies) slowly ebbs away as we realise that its too little too late...
The bigger the issue, the more at stake and that stokes the incentives for manipulation whilst big tech and the internet provide us with our lovely and ever more essential phones. The biggest/most hazardous manipulations are hiding in plain sight and as you can tell, i love looking for them!
What if the hydrogen economy itself is a red herring to distract us from a better and more achievable solution??
How much power does a 'search' take and also to store all the data we generate and how much power does ChatGPT use??
What would happen if we all stopped buying plastic and eating meat??
Why do i feel so hopeless and powerless and could that be more of a problem than i realise??
