The Post Labor Day AI Panic Psyop Has Been Launched!

  

 

Background

On Tuesday, September 8, the day after Labor Day weekend (love the timing!) a young man by the name of Jacob Coxon put out a post on X…his first post ever and it went mega viral. He is a former employee of both Anthropic and OpenAI and he warned about the dangers of AI. Within 24 hours Jacob‘s X post had received 123 million views 650,000 likes 190,000 followers. Even Elon weighed in and said “I don’t think this has ever happened for a post from a new account with almost no prior activity.“ Immediately mainstream media hopped on board to add to the virality of the post. The Wall Street Journal within a few hours had already interviewed Jacob and mainstream media piled on. Both sides of the house then piled on (mostly Democrats) with X post quotes calling immediately to ask for regulations and government interventions.

I created my Substack Ed Dowd: Beyond the Narrative to address issues such as this, and I believe this is a well-orchestrated psyop to move the needle and change minds.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “psyop.”

“A military operation usually aimed at influencing the enemy’s state of mind through noncombative means… also: someone or something used by the government to influence the population’s opinions and attitudes.”

I am not saying Jacob Coxon is a government asset. I am saying the last 72 hours look less like a whistleblower and more like an inorganic panic narrative.

Anomalies

The X account @hilbertspaess had almost no footprint before Tuesday night. The bio is two words: “ai research.” The account sat there for a year. Then, in one coordinated burst, a seven-post thread announcing a resignation from Anthropic, a warning that the labs are “gambling with our lives,” and a prediction that the people building this stuff privately believe it could kill everyone by the end of the decade. Overnight the post printed nine figures in views. Hundreds of thousands of likes. The account went from nobody to a household handle before most of the country had coffee.

That is not how organic X speech works: organic speech stumbles, it posts a draft, it deletes a typo and it has a history. This account had a history of silence, then a professionally punchy script, then the entire mainstream media stack that ran with it with hours of post.

The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive interview with Coxon very shortly after the post went live. Business Insider, Newsweek, the New York Post, Mashable, and Deadline, all ran the same quotes within hours. Then the next day live interviews on Fox News and CNN. That is not one reporter getting lucky on a late night scroll. That is a package. In my humble opinion you do not get a WSJ exclusive and a 100 million view thread by accident unless the interview was already in the can.

Then I did what I always do. I read the replies and skeptics on X. The anomaly hunters got there first. Parker Thayer laid out the timeline that made my former equity portfolio manager brain activate: the Journal piece “potentially” landing before the public post, an account with no prior engagement suddenly exploding, and the first quote posts arriving inside fifteen minutes from policy shops whose funding traces back to the same circle of Anthropic-adjacent philanthropy. Other users pointed at the empty follower graph, the sudden verification, the fact that the first amplifiers were not random citizens but people whose job is to turn fear into statutes and accusations of links to AI policy NGOs.

You can argue with any one of those dots. It is harder to argue with the cluster.

The big tell for me was what certain members of Congress do when a narrative is pre-cooked. Representative Ro Khanna very quickly quoted the thread and demanded a federal AI agency “like we have for nuclear power and airplanes,” pre-certification, kill switches, criminal penalties, and hearings with “researchers like Jacob.” He told Speaker Johnson to keep the House in session. On the other side of the Hill, Senator Bernie Sanders already had a superintelligence ban circulating with Representative Greg Casar creating a cabinet level agency, an advisory board of “experts,” the whole cathedral. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Richard Blumenthal piled on. OpenAI, not to be left out of its own “funeral”, started posting about national safety rules.

Classic Hegelian Dialectic

Thesis>Antithesis>Synthesis…also known as Problem>Reaction>Solution.

Hegel would recognize the move:

· Thesis-the labs are racing toward systems they cannot control

· Antithesis-the public is now terrified, and the screenshots of Coxon’s thread are the proof

· Synthesis-regulation, a licensing regime, a new agency and barriers to entry dressed up as “containment”

Then ask the only question that ever matters: Who benefits?

Let us start with who does not benefit:

· Not the open-source shops

· Not the startups that cannot afford a compliance department and a containment audit

· Not the Chinese labs, who will ignore the sermon and keep training regardless

The first beneficiaries are the two names in the original post: Anthropic and OpenAI.

They are burning cash at a rate that would make a 2000-2001 CLEC blush. Token prices keep falling. Enterprise demand is not doubling fast enough to offset it. The second derivative is slowing. Capex is a black hole. Valuations only work if the story stays vertical and the competitive set stays small. A federal moat with pre-certification, insurance mandates, criminal liability for unlicensed models does two things at once. It crushes the long tail of competitors who were eating their margins. And it gives the incumbents a political story to take to investors: “we are the responsible adults, the regulated utilities of intelligence, please keep funding the losses until the unit economics appear.”

The second beneficiary is the government itself (this push is mostly a Democrat project.)

A cabinet-level AI agency means new appropriations, new buildings, new GS-15s, new contractors, new “advisory boards” stuffed with the same people who wrote the talking points. Hearings mean travel budgets and television time. Pre-certification means a permanent inspection class. Mandatory insurance means a regulated market the agencies get to supervise. Every one of those is a funding request that survives the news cycle.

A few Republicans have already volunteered to help build the machine. Senator Josh Hawley has been the loudest, telling his own party it must “regulate” AI so it does not displace the worker, and he already has a bill with Blumenthal, co-sponsored by Senator Marsha Blackburn, to make federal reviews of advanced models mandatory. Representative Jay Obernolte has been shopping the Great American AI Act with Democrats Lori Trahan and House Republicans Scott Franklin and Erin Houchin. After Coxon’s thread, even Senator Ted Cruz, who spent last year trying to preempt state AI rules, posted that the risks are “dangerous and frightening,” that “we need guardrails,” and that he is working with Amy Klobuchar and John Thune on catastrophic bio and nuclear AI risk. You do not need the whole GOP…you only need a handful of names so the new agency can call itself bipartisan when the appropriation comes up.

Fear is how you grow the state when you cannot grow the economy.

Bottom Line

I recently wrote a post, Wall Street’s AI Capex Party...It’s 2 AM & The Bar is About To Close, where I outlined it is becoming more expensive to fund the buildout and investors are questioning the ultimate return on investment. A safety panic that ends in a licensing cartel is the most elegant refinancing I have seen in a long time for both the labs and the bureaucracy that will charge rent on the panic. You do not have to prove the models will kill us. You only have to make Congress and the public feel that they might. Fear is cheaper than a profitable product, and it is cheaper than a balanced budget.

Could Coxon be sincere? Sure…people leave jobs and people get scared…sincerity and utility are not opposites. The most effective operations use a real person with real anxiety and then put a megaphone, a Journal reporter, and a legislative calendar underneath him.

I do not know exactly how accurate these AI fears might be but I do know what a coordinated narrative looks like:

· An unused account, a same night exclusive

· Policy NGOs first in line comment

· Bills already written

· Multiple members of congress immediately posting on X their hot takes

· Two companies with a cash-burn problem recast as the only adults in the room

· Government, mostly Democrats, with just enough Republicans for cover, that suddenly needs another agency, another appropriation, and another reason to sit between you and the future.

· Two cash burning frontier AI companies that need to regulate their competition out of existence

Watch the cash, watch the narrative, watch the fear porn, watch who benefits…this is elaborate Kabuki Theater. After the Covid psyop this is the next big push in my opinion. All the signs are present.

“The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.” Proverbs 18:17

UFOs Are NOT WHAT YOU THINK

 

Men and the City 57 - From Disconnect to Discovery

A new self-image is the final step to reset the West.

For men in the city a transformation 20 years in the making is nearly complete. A psycho-spiritual shift in the minds of men began in earnest in the fallout of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008, a disruption culminating in a perfect economic storm two decades later. The GFC profoundly shocked the American (Western) economy and disproportionately impacted young white men. Nearly two decades later official measures show compound fractures across domains: economic dislocation, income-earning capacity, family-formation, racial-enmity, self-esteem, self-deletion etc. The breakdown permanently exiled young white men from mainstream Western society and marked the beginning of self-discovery.

On the surface, government bailouts stabilized the economy and restored confidence in the system by papering over the problem. Beneath the surface, however, severe psychological trauma, atomization, and social-scarring took root. For masses of men, the collateral damage from joblessness, isolation, and loss of status was compounded by a weaponized wokism whose prime directive was the forcible displacement of white men from mainstream society. These forces combined to produce a compressive effect on the Western-male psyche.

The internet was the relief valve. Men escaped from a compressed real world into a novel and expanding online one. The emergence of new internet platforms coinciding with the GFC triggered a great social schism. YouTube and Twitter quickly became digital social safety nets for the disconnected and disoriented. Online community caught the masses desperate to vent emotional energy, collaborate with like-minded men, and process the crisis around them. The digital universe became the nexus point for a psychological reset in Western society.

15+ years later the results are revolutionary even if revolutionary movements remain embryonic. As I have written since the first entry of Men and the City, powerful communities emerged (Alt-right, Bitcoin, Manosphere), new philosophies (Race Realism, Dark Enlightenment, Spectral Revolution), and a cadre of influencers shook up the culture with viral rants. Call it chaos media or an online rebellion, either way, psychological levies were smashed and a breakthrough occurred. “Men of words” held nothing back about Jewish Power, hypergamy, pedophilia, and the Great Replacement. Taboos shattered like pagan idols at the Kaaba.

"For a temple to be erected, a temple must be destroyed."

Nietzsche

The creed of online mutiny became: Tell me the lie so I can smash it with viral thunderclap. Since the GFC, subsequent shock waves have fractured the fragile facade of a legacy order crumbling under the weight of its own lies. For Gen Z, 2020 Covid-lockdowns, mask-mandates, and experimental vaccines replicated the GFC convulsion Millennials experienced 12 years before. Both sabotaged economic launch, both undermined trust in government, and both prematurely vaporized youthful illusions of self and society. Fortunately, disillusionment opened impressionable young minds to new ways of thinking and disconnect led to discovery.

The beginning of a new self-image was born. Internet algos are a kind of Heraclitian flux churning through trillions of fragmented mental nodes clustered into audio and visual content like charged electrons spinning into quantum entanglement. Eventually, content cohered into men’s groups, reddit short-squeezes, conspiracy cults, or marathon hangouts on X spaces. Indeed, online trends have come to define (amplify) modern culture.

However impactful digital communities have become the online world is NOT reality, even if reality has become a clownish version of itself. Online escape was an indispensable step towards psychological reorientation, a counter-neural network against the Orwellian mainstream dystopia. Predictably, what began as escape from clown-world has become a hyperreality of its own. Social media group think has extinguished the fiery independent thinking that once defined these communities.

Further, as white men have mentally transformed over the last twenty years so has the world beyond X echo chambers. Once unassailable government institutions are unraveling, Jewish banking cartels are illiquid, and global power has migrated from West to East. A vast vacuum has emerged in the wake of these changes, one eager to be filled by a new order. The rebellious energy birthed over the last decade is primed to fill the void. The next step requires collective suffering before the final reorganization.


Suffering Equals Ascent

Understandably, after two decades of hardship and toxicity the discerning reader will rebut - “Have I not suffered enough?” The answer to that question is:

  • YES - YOU HAVE

but:

  • WE - HAVE NOT

Let me explain. Every man wields a rare superpower that women simply do not - the power to be ALONE. Men spend lots of time alone because we do not possess intrinsic value in society; women do and always have. Being alone and loneliness overlap but are not the same thing. Being alone in this sense is a kind of darkness, a withdrawing from the world, a place where all the demons (real or imaginary) envelop and overwhelm you. There is no shield, no protection, no shock absorber to soften the cold sting of darkness.

What are some real-world examples? Generally, though not always, men experience withdrawal when life falls apart:

  • Divorce after decades of investment and commitment

  • Losing a job, a house, maybe a business or family member

  • Loss of faith or the collapse of a belief-system

Whatever the case, the world turns upside down and nothing make sense anymore. Sometimes men have someone to consult: a father, a priest, or a friend. More often there is simply no one and nothing to do except sink into the depths of darkness, alone. In the “modern” West, male isolation is structural: white men increasingly lack fathers, father figures, and male-only public spaces are banned or emasculated. However, it is in the depths of darkness where a faint light flickers in the distance.

A self-image comes into view. What and where the self-image comes from is a metaphysical question beyond the scope of this essay. For our purposes, suffice it to say the self-image represents the taproot of self-consciousness, the psycho-spiritual frame that defines who you really are and reorients you in reality. As stated in the forward to Maxwell Maltz’s Psycho-Cybernetics explained, self-image is “a mental blueprint we have inside our subconscious mind.”

“A person cannot rise above how he sees himself”

Matt Furey

Notice a couple things:

  • Self-image cannot be created it must be discovered

  • Suffering is the key to unlocking the self-image

Self-image is a kind of resonance or vibration with the divine, the Christ, or the force in Star Wars. Suffering brings your consciousness into spiritual alignment with this higher force. Like it or not, suffering is both necessary and unavoidable to cross the spiritual chasm. If you try to avoid it, spiritual growth is either stunted (sometimes reversed → despiritualized → evilized) or eventually the darkness finds you like the whale swallows Jonah. External conflict and internal stress alchemize in the new, transformed self-image.

“The way up is revealed to man and given to him…ONLY in suffering and ONLY through suffering.”

Ivan Ilyin - On Resistance to Evil by Force

The transformation of self-image is not the full story. There is no guarantee you will break free from what mystics call the “dark night of the soul.” Tragically, many do not survive the process (suicide / evilized) but it is necessary because it is so fatal. ONLY after sufficient suffering shakes loose the false frames of old is a new self-image bolted to solid psychological ground like megaliths at the base of a pyramid. Since the GFC (then Covid), men have experienced this transformation alone, as conscious individuals. Going forward, we must suffer together, as a conscious collective.

The inner, invisible work is finished but now it must manifest in outer, visible work. Mental, emotional and intellectual leaps have been made and a new frame of mind has emerged but operationalizing change in the real world is the next step. Resetting the West so its civilizational identity is realigned requires synchronizing these forces in a transformative mass movement. The coming perfect storm is the opportunity to complete the West’s crucible for spiritual cleansing.


Decline is Irreversible

Irreversibility defines today’s sickly Western mind. In every Western country sentiment is negative and defeatist. Masses of migrants (legal and illegal) are overwhelming white countries. Government and society are structurally broken and endemically corrupt. White women are brain washed by feminism and fetishize non-white men. Mainstream institutions and big corporations are propaganda machines promoting anti-white culture: multi-racialism, equality, and nihilism. Most have concluded all is lost and the damage is irreversible.

Accelerated breakdown across the West is confirmation the end is nigh. Evidence to support this conclusion is compelling:

  • Democratic Breakdown - Anemic opposition parties who virtue signal dissent but lack the capacity, vision and leadership to meaningfully resist

  • Demographic Collapse - Tens of Millions of migrants surging across the West overwhelming locals and unobstructed by police or border security

  • Economic crisis - a falling standard of living for average whites in all Western nations

  • Jewish Power - Consolidation of Jewish Power at the highest levels of Western institutions, especially in America (MAGA is MIGA)

  • Urban Conflict - racial fault lines are boiling over in major Western cities: London, Paris, New York City and beyond

“Western Europe is committing suicide, and the sixty thousand African migrants who just smashed through Ceuta are only the latest proof…This is the terminal phase of a civilization that has already decided to die.”

Constantin von Hoffmeister - Camp of the Saints Live

The trends above may seem unassailable but the situation is far more complex. The terminal diagnosis for Western Civilization is based upon the assumption that the fall of Western governments, currencies, institutions etc. is synonymous with the extinction of the West. Of course, we know that is not true. Throughout western history governments have bankrupted themselves, lost major wars, currencies have collapsed, plagues have wiped out millions, and violent revolutions have turned society upside down and razed institutions to the ground. None of this is new nor is it unrecoverable.

But this time is different. Inherently, every scenario is one of one, a unique situation unlike any we have seen before. The West’s accelerating racial extinction for instance is unprecedented by volume and percentage, as we know. Public debts are higher, institutions are more complex and powerful, and the white population is nothing if not fragmented. Again, this all adds up to hopeless irreversible collapse, right?

Wrong. Breakdown often serves as the galvanizing force to reunify, indeed redefine and reintegrate society. If individual realities are fragmented (just as the white population is currently divided) a collective shock will unify them. In this sense, conflict of an existential nature is the birthing process for higher culture and rejuvenate national-civilizational identity. Wars, plagues, revolutions etc. generate reorganizations of human consciousness like the Renaissance and Reformation. Jacob Burckhardt described the Renaissance as “the rediscovery of the world and of man.”

“In the ancient view, a new round of time does not emerge gradually from the last but only after the circle experiences a sharp break.”

William Strauss and Neil Howe - The Fourth Turning

In summary, reversibility or discontinuity is what defines the human experience not irreversibility. In fact, the acceleration of the trends above is likely to create an inversion or possibly a Fourth Turning because history is not linear or chaotic but cyclical. As William Strauss and Neil Howe put it, “Each circle of time has a great moment of discontinuity,” what the ancients called ekpyrosis - purifying fire. Have we arrived at such a turning point?

The Blackpill is the Final Boss

Overcoming a distorted self-image - the enemy within - is the final boss. Shadow boxing with psychological demons has mentally transformed masses of men but not without cost. A blackpill residue has infected men psychologically. Ironically, at a time when Jewish intellectualism (wokism, globalism, Zionism et al) so dominant in the citadels of power is more detached from reality than ever, its persuasive power is at its peak. Under the spell of blackpill faith men piously believe that Western society is secretly or not so secretly setup for a controlled demolition that cannot be stopped.

“the vital wisdom consists not in escaping from suffering as from imaginary evil, but in accepting it as a gift and a pledge, in utilizing it and wading through it”

Ivan Alexandrovich Ilyin - On Resistance to Evil By Force

I would describe this thinking as refractory. Paul Ekman defined the term refractory period as a phase “when we are only able to use information that supports the emotion we are feeling.” Generally, it follows an intense “emotional charge” so powerful that it overwhelms all other senses. It is a reaction function that can only burn itself out after the driving emotion has subsided. Remember: The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an actual experience and an experience imagined vividly and in detail.”

Here we have blackpill psychopathology. The blackpill God is the super-elite, a figment of emotionally charged imagination. Whatever happens in the world from this point of view is firmly controlled and orchestrated by them. I call this the “Its part of the plan” fallacy. Regardless of the antagonists (Jewish Power, Bilderbergs, City of London, Illuminati, Techbros), some or many powerful groups are singularly driving global events with Godlike power and precision. The end-result is pre-determined and unstoppable.

In many ways, blackpill pyschopathology mirrors its tormentor, Jewish intellectualism. Both are a kind of “non-sense machineas Roger Scruton appropriately called it. In both frameworks, the individual is deprived of self-empowerment, action or agency because external monsters are all powerful and irresistible. Psychologists refer to this problem as “the external locus of control,” the belief that outside forces—like luck, fate, or other people—dictate outcomes rather than internal beliefs and actions.

“With an internal locus, you feel empowered to shape outcomes through your actions. In contrast, an external locus suggests that outside factors determine your fate. Understanding this concept can impact your motivation and response to life’s challenges.”

Very Well Mind

Western civilization is premised on the belief that the individual, group or nation has power over circumstances. From the Iliad to Faust, Western cannon preached courage, honor, struggle and overcoming. Non-Western values tend towards the opposite and favor fortune over boldness. At the core of Buddhism, for example, is the idea of anatta - no-self. “Buddha rejects the idea of an eternal soul.” “Me” or the self is always changing rather than catalyzing the change.

By contrast, the Western psyche is fixed on what Carl Jung called “Mana-personality,” the charismatic leader. Western culture above all others has a “fascination with the person who holds or symbolizes power.” So commanding is this indelible feature of the Western narrative that all major movements for change come to identify with one figure head or one leader. The mana-personality harnesses the collective will, the frustrations, feelings, and hopes of the many and converts them into the actions of the few, or the one via transference.

Transference is not about creation, it is a bonding experience. The function of the charismatic leader is more that of conductor than chemist because transference awakens or emancipates feelings that are already alive but bottled up. Indeed, the hypnotic effect of the leader (his charisma) breaks resistance so that emotional energy for change is liberated. The psychoanalyst Sandor Ferenczi explained that hypnosis, like transference, releases it does not create:

“there is no such thing as a ‘hypnotizing,’ a ‘giving of ideas’ in the sense of psychical incorporating of something quite foreign from without, but only procedures that are able to set going unconscious, pre-existing, auto-suggestive mechanisms.”

Sandor Ferenczi

Psychological breakthroughs are the precondition for mass movements. Over the last 15+ years the psyche of white men has traversed the stages of grief, we have ascended from disconnect to discovery. A new self-image born of suffering has pushed rebellious online energy to the precipice of a Western movement(s) for change. First, we must reconcile the imminent crisis we fear with a calm acceptance of the real-world action we must take toward its resolution.

The final boss is yet to be vanquished. We must reframe the coming storm as opportunity rather than damnation, a necessary and unavoidable crucible to reset the West, just as the last 15+ years of disruption have reset the white male psyche. We must slay the illusory dragons (shadowy elites) and see beyond the false frames of Jewish intellectualism (external locus of control). We are not victims, we do not believe fate nullifies action, and we know that heroes and mass movement shape the great moments of history, and this is one of them. It is only the enemy within that truly holds us back. Are you ready?
