Norway’s sovereign wealth fund owns roughly 1.5% of every listed company on Earth, and the team deciding how it votes at 9,000 annual shareholder meetings is smaller than the compliance department of a single mid-sized European bank

I rarely do a news and views from the Nefarium over a short little tweet in twitter, or a blurb on X, or whatever one wishes to call it, but this one shared by K.M. is a real attention-getter and catalyst for high octane speculation:

Elon Musk on AI and Solar Power (and by implication, Kardashev)

There are more speed bumps appearing in the artificial intelligence speed way, and ... well... some of us are far too modest (cough hack wheeze) to say "I told you so,"  because under the explosion of artificial intelligence, the great enstupidization of society continues:

AI Is Dumbing Down the Masses and Interfering With Cognitive Exercise

Last week I blogged about the story of the integration of American and Israeli defense industries... but wait there is (as we all suspected there would be) more...much more:

There's been yet another refinery accident and fire in the USA, and the total worldwide is now 45.... so what's up? That's the question triggering today's high octane speculation from Joseph:

Well after some computer problems, this is a delayed and postponed News and Views from last week, the one I intended to to, in fact, last Wednesday evening (the 6th) but, due to the sudden computer problems was not able to do. This is also an unusual News and Views in  that I am referring, not to an article, but to an important video that E.G. shared, and which I am going to attempt to summarize. But my summary is woefully inadequate to the thought-provoking video on which it is based. My conclusions are probably different than yours and in some respects different than the author of the video, but nonetheless that's what good articles and videos do. Here's the video:

Birth of the petrogas dollar and the pirate state.
