to sow doubt, disinformation and distrust among the 'enemy'

A stated aim of GCHQ cyber intelligence is to sow doubt, disinformation and distrust among the 'enemy'. It's not a new idea - but can take novel forms.

I watched a video of a conference (perhaps on the reproducibility of science - or similar) in which it was stated by the grave faced panel of speakers that about half the literature is wrong. But they don't know which half. This is a parallel with the bankers and toxic debts that seem to be assets with complex financial instruments.

Moral integrity is self-honesty that extends as a working practical trust in listening within as well as studying without.
Something that muddies the waters is a binary mindset or either or.
The answer to 'Is this or that good or bad for you?', is generally - 'it depends'.
The mind by itself cannot necessarily account for all the variables but can string together a working model. If we keep in mind it is a model then we don't invest it with reality.

I have a sense that uncovering our own questions and following them, will unfold our own journey from which we can grow in consciousness and connection - that frames better questions and answers as expression of a more open honest and confident consciousness. Freedom from self-doubt is not fixated self-certainties - but transparency and accountability. How honest we are willing to be is interesting in the light of wanting the same from our institutions, leaders and corporates.

Opening your own relationship with our Sun, can also open knowledge that studies cannot give you. But once you have inner territory of your own experience you have a basis for recognising qualities in others. I feel that relational resonance is the core of communication.
One man's meat is another man's poison.
And meat like bread was much more generic for food in the past.
Sharing your meat made you ... mates.


Curiously now we have trouble sharing food - a most ancient communion - because there is so much we don't eat, cant eat or wont eat. My foreboding is that soon very many of us may be a lot less fussy.
