COMMENT

Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Trump’s Tariff Wars

Trump being Trump, it won’t come as a shock to find that he regards a strong USD as a sign of America’s virility, and ability to kick sand in the face of the world.

Gordon Campbell: DeepSeek, And China’s Inexorable Rise

The week’s big story has been about China’s DeepSeek low-cost AI model and Nvidia losing $600B of its value.

There is an inverse relationship between the upward spiral of science and technology and the downward spiral of human civilisation and consciousness. Is history just a quickening repetition on the same themes of human ignorance?

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - ACT Looks Backwards
