it would be nice if the iwm had another type of innovation hub where experts could go to explore the most pressing conflicts through the lense of history

an open one free to all to access

that would be very nice wouldnt it

but they paywalled it

this is what we call an archive

the iwms commercial decisions have been beyond damaging for public discourse and actively encouraged a wealth of unhelpful actors in spreading disinformation and misinformation through structurally violent image access and film fees killing engagement and production of content

the iwm institute is not a progressive entity on paper

it sounds good but will not target core demographics

will help someone get a gong tho which is nice

analytics clearly highlight the iwms own irrelevance to popular debate and countering extremism

but instead of openly exploring how we can honestly improve things theyve restricted access to make matters worse

i genuinely lack words but they are simply not appropriate custodians of our shared heritage

but enjoy the champers peeps

i shall also not comment that the problem isnt information overload but the networks in how material is shared promoted and granted voice by various actors
again this is a huge area but the vacuum created by iwms and dcms intransigence has made matters much worse
