The conservative think tank blueprint for how Donald Trump should govern the US if he wins in November calls for dismantling CISA, among many cyber-related measures. Experts say this would increase cybersecurity risks, undermine critical infrastructure, and put more Americans in danger.

    Well yeah, how are we supposed to enact a Russo-American Alliance without opening ourselves up to more cyber influence operations? I mean, c’mon, how else are they supposed to convince more people to love Russia?

    Well yeah, Project 2025 is terrible in almost unlimited ways. Government employment should be a meritocracy, not an appointment game. Appointments = corruption, making the swamp even swampier.

    I do think we should scale back the US government though. But we should do it by concentrating and refocusing effective programs. For example, dissolve the NSA, DEA, and ATF, and move the best talent to CISA, CIA, and FBI. We should also increase collaboration between departments, I’ve read far too much about information being lost because the CIA refuses to work with the FBI, for example.

    So trim, but strengthen the most useful agencies while cutting the ones that violate our rights and waste money. I think we can get a lot more out of the agencies we have.

    Bare in mind the big triangle they’re using to model computers and technology/networking right now.

    They’re attempting to design an interesting new form of technology where they think computers will be storing and processing energy using special shapes.

    An example is that in Einstein’s quantum mechanical physics, a triangle can store energy due to quantum wavefunctions. A triene molecule stores a lot of energy in its ring, and it would store a lot more if it were equilateral. Quantum mechanical waves in certain 2D energy potential wells can store up and “fire” energy or data when launched through air, even with just normal, physical air-based wavefunctions and resonances.

    I hope you like triangles and understand that they’re basically science, just like the energy-stabilising benzene molecule that organic chemist’s all care about so much, because we’ll all likely be seeing a lot more of them soon.

    One final thing:

    Actually try building a catapult that launches a 2D shape through 3D space and see if it releases any useful energy vibrations into the air when you fire it, especially after covering the shape with a sturdy and tight net that’s as rigid and secure as possible. The 2D shape could even be something as simple as a triforce with a circle around it.
