The Information Highway Leading to the New World Order Theme Park Is Now Clear
May 6, 2026
Another dinobaby post. No AI unless it is an image. This dinobaby is not Grandma Moses, just Grandpa Arnold.
Tim Bray (formerly OpenText big dog) published an essay titled “Life During Class Wartime.” The essay pointed out:
As a resident of a wealthy West-Coast New-World city, the effects of pathological inequality are in my face every day: Bentleys gleaming on the road, ragged people huddled in the rain cadging cash outside the drugstores, thousands homeless. Why is that bad? · It’s not only a sinful by any sane definition of sin, but stupid, inefficient, and damaging.
Two days ago, I wrote about what I call a Karp-ifesto. My blog write up discussed some of the more interesting points of the new world order envisioned by Peter Thiel and his acolytes. I want to point out that I am a dinobaby, and thankfully I won’t be around to watch the New Dark Age roll in from Sillycon Valley.
A modern family zipping down the road to the New World Order Theme Park. It’s bigger than Disney. It is much, much more too. Thanks, MidJourney. Good enough.
I want to approach this politicization of money and technology from a different angle. I want to ask you a direct question, “Is the information I will share in this blog post in line with the values one wants one’s children to manifest?” You can take it from here.
I read this morning “Google’s CEO Just Dropped a Wild New YouTube Number.” The source is The Street, an online publication that presents information about business. The article includes some allegedly accurate factoids. Let me share a few and encourage you to read the other cited essays in this short post.
I noted this statement:
Google CEO Sundar Pichai [the big dog at Google] told analysts that U.S. viewers are now watching more than 200 million hours of YouTube on their TVs every single day.
This items snagged my attention as well:
He paired that with a creator-side stat. More than 10 million channels are now publishing Shorts every day as of March. Both numbers landed inside a quarter that beat Wall Street on revenue and crushed it on earnings.
And this passage:
The U.S. has roughly 131 million households, per the Census Bureau. Spread 200 million daily hours of YouTube across them, and you get more than 90 minutes of YouTube on the TV per household, every day. That is before phones, tablets, or laptops enter the picture.
These statements do not include Google search, maps, AI, etc.
Let’s go back to the question: ““Is the information I will share in this blog post in line with the values one wants one’s children to manifest?”
Let me add a couple of more interrogatories:
- What type of information control does Google have?
- Is a monoculture healthy?
- Why did this type of global influence engulf regulatory controls?
When I look at Bray’s comments, the Karp-ifesto, and the Google kudzu, do you have any idea how the future will unspool? I try not to dwell on it. I am an 82 year old dinobaby. My readership data suggests you are not as old as I. You may be interested in the future where guest services are provided by smart software and safety is guaranteed because surveillance has benefits.
Consider your answers.
