Securitisation – Essential Knowledge

The following is a very different form of securitisation with even more sinister consequences. @Earthling, on Odysee, reveals the academic underpinnings to fabricate and inculcate illusory existential risks into global … Read more

Britain has Surrendered its Liberty and Children’s Future

by

Information received – War on Humanity

by

I received this recently from someone with whom I’m unfamiliar but their email contains a treasure trove of information which, in the spirit of co-creative learning, is shared for others to sift, analyse and reshare if they choose.

The power of co-creative learning

A couple of endorsements of Critical Thinking’s analysis from Twitter

What is paramount in co-creative learning is its collaborative nature, drawing and building on the work of many others. Critical Thinking’s conclusions are the culmination of millions of man hours, worked by hundreds of thousands of people, shared by thousands more and filtered through the Critical Thinking community to be re-shared via email, the website, conversations, books, articles, videos, podcasts and Twitter. Critical Thinking’s motto is:

Thus no individual or group can claim “ownership” of what Critical Thinking has produced – knowledge is one of the most important commons. Theft of the commons is one of the three fundamental flaws in the political economy.
