I am realizing that the majority of my pieces relate to this topic in some way, particularly regarding our growing inability to tell the real from the unreal and the strength of the forces manipulating us. I hadn't even come close to pulling it all together as masterfully as Stylman though (or done nearly the amount of research, well-sourced on his end) and hadn't thought of those topics as falling under the umbrella concept of "cognitive sovereignty" and what that concept might look like in legal/ ethical terms.
The spaces where I see this discussed are focused on Fifth Generation warfare, and the extent to which modern warfare has evolved to be more cognitive in nature than it is kinetic. This has been the research path that lead me to this, and to wanting to understand cognition more deeply. I am very interested in developing more content and offerings along these lines.
To me, all of this reframes mindfulness and meditation in a very powerful way. I have some taoist techniques for cognitive freedom I am developing. And I have definitely practiced lots of what he suggests. Super important for everyone, especially parents.
I am interested in the shift to Fifth Generation warfare as well. I also practice meditation daily, although I have to consider that perhaps some of that is a psy op as well! If so it could be reclaimed.
Coincidentally this JRE episode came out the same day as this piece and covers a lot of the same territory. They discuss meditation as a form of protection at the beginning of the episode. https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1923805670542868775
I’m super passionate about this topic! So cool to see cognitive freedom being discussed in this way.

I'm curious--are you working in libraries, and if so have you heard/seen this topic discussed anywhere?
