"The London Evening Standard chose the Francis Crick Institute as the venue to unveil its annual list of the 1000 most influential people in London this evening...
This year's edition of The 1000, which has been published in association with The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Wellcome Trust and the Francis Crick Institute, has a special focus on London's contribution to science, medicine and global humanitarism

Paul Nurse , the director of the Crick , was listed as one of the capital's 10 most influential people. Renowned scientist Stephen Hawking and the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai were also recognised.. for their contributions
That's interesting
Someone else who works with the Crick Institute is Tomaso Poggio .. who worked with Demis Hassabis - DeepMind co-founder

Letter from Francis Crick to Tomaso Poggio
profiles.nlm.nih.gov/spotlight/sc/c…
Demis Hassabis - DeepMind co-founder - did his PhD in cognitive neuroscience at UCL in 2009 under the supervision of Eleanor Maguire - Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL where she is also a Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_M…
Maguire heads the Memory and Space research laboratory at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at UCL
Maguire's team mainly employ ecologically valid or 'real life' experimental paradigms to examine brain-behaviour relationships; eg.. using VR to examine navigation investigating autobiographical memories of people's ..ability to imagine fictitious and future scenes and events..
Perhaps the most famous of these is her series of studies on London taxi drivers,where she documented changes in hippocampal structure associated w/acquiring the knowledge of London's layout. Aredistribution of grey matter was indicated in London Taxi Drivers compared to controls
"The hippocampi of London taxi drivers swell as they learn the city's streets."

No wonder they want people to stop driving

And to limit people's ability to move around with their 15-minute SMART cities

But I digress..

Becoming ever clearer why Yuval Noah Harari thinks they can hack the human mind

Just leaving this 2014 tweet here for later

Alot of things clicking for me at the moment

I need to drop this here too, for now

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Pag…

Heinz Pagels obtained his PhD in elementary particle physics from Stanford University under the guidance of Sidney Drell - an arms control expert
Interview of Sidney Drell by Finn Aaserud on 1986 July 1,
Niels Bohr Library & Archives, American Institute of Physics,
College Park, MD USA,

In 1960, Drell was a founding participant in the Jasons , a secret group, then made up of physicists, that had been called together by Charles Townes to solve difficult problems for the Defense Department

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JASON_(ad…

The current provost at Stanford, physicist Persis Drell, is Sidney Drell's daughter

Radical Optimism?

Would that be something that Jordan Peterson is interested in?
Yup.

And why is that relevant?

Let's go back to..

Charles H. Townes
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_H…

shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics with Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov 👀

He was a member of the United Church of Christ
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Ch…

"The United Church of Christ (UCC) is a mainline Protestant Christian denomination based in the United States, with historical and confessional roots in the Congregational, Calvinist, and Lutheran traditions,..

Later I'll go further into what role those morons at Cambridge Analytica have played in this current state of affairs in this #TheatreOfTheAbsurd

For now let's stick with The United Church of Christ (UCC)..
"A controversy arose over former U.S. president Barack Obama speaking at UCC gatherings, but the IRS found that the UCC had adhered to the prohibition against churches campaigning for political candidates "🍿

Pew tells us what's what
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pew_Resea…
The Pew Research Center, a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, its primary funder. For its studies focusing on demographics of religions in the world, the Pew Research Center has been jointly funded by the Templeton Foundation

The Pew Charitable Trusts

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pew_C…

Well, aren't they something?
The Pew Charitable Trusts

> American Enterprise Institute (AEI)

🍿

Just dropping this in here - for when it's needed later
🤫

Back to Pew...
🤫🤫
Pew Charitable Trusts beneficiaries include:

"environmental organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Oceana, and mainstream think tanks like the center-left Brookings Institution "

The professors' work at Hebrew University needs looking at, including Yuval Noah Harari

Just sayin'

And keep a note of all the large accounts that push Rustyrockets

The meeting between members of the Process Church and Alabama Governor George Wallace occurred around 1973 in Wallace's executive office, during a period when the controversial religious group had rebranded itself as the Foundation Church of the Millennium .. Image
The group was actively scrubbing its dark, countercultural, and apocalyptic image (which previously incorporated elements of fear, Satan, and Lucifer) to adopt a wholesome, mainstream-friendly persona resembling conventional church group ..
The connection between the Process Church's early roots in Fitzrovia, London and the broader folklore surrounding the Tavistock Clinic highlights a sprawling overlap between counterculture history, psychological institutions, and the late-20th-century Satanic Panic. Image

The Dark Kitchen Loop: Absorbing the "Shadow Zones" Image
"Dark kitchens" (or Central Production Units - CPUs) are windowless, delivery-only industrial cooking facilities packed into commercial units across Park Royal. They extract human labor from the autonomous, low-telemetry, non-secular communities .. Image
Inside the windowless Central Production Units (CPUs), human tracking shifts from public oversight to proprietary corporate data. Subcontracted, zero-hour, or cash-in-hand staff are often managed by third-party agencies or dynamic shifts apps."..🤔 Image

Marie-France van Heel (Mrs. Burnham) is involved with this modern energy network because the electric vehicle charging company she directs, Be.EV, is majority-owned and funded by Octopus Energy Generation .. Image
This ownership structure embeds her firm directly into the wider Octopus corporate ecosystem, which sits at the center of the modern smart-grid infrastructure.
While Mrs. Burnham does not directly run or own Kraken, the EV chargers managed by her firm represent the exact type of high-demand, decentralized grid nodes that Octopus's Kraken platform is built to orchestrate and optimize in real time.

While GCHQ historically used Palantir software to manage mass intelligence data, the timeline of 2019 serves as a critical bridge between the Ministry of Defence behavioral science expansion, the creation of the National Cyber Force (NCF), and the data-driven response to COVID" Image
The friction between academic freedom and military integration highlights a fundamental shift in how the UK state projects power. "..
