The CW has *already* metastasized into all those things you seem to agree are bad. Around the world. It shares features with entertainment, but unlike video games or TV, both direct and metastasized damage NPV is not speculative.

Nope. Almost all the intelligence is in backchannel conversations among people who track this stuff. Significant effect is a statistician’s way of thinking about this. It’s a poor frame because the impact is much more direct and causal-narrative.

It’s the most visible but not the most impactful. The most significant pathway is veterans/graduates of CW actually landing positions of policy making influence as the next steps in their careers (in politicians’ staffs, media orgs, as advisors to moneyed interests etc).

So it has the odd feel of a post that reads like empty abstractions to people who don’t follow the CW, but a template for 100s of CW skirmishes/battles for people who do. Almost a blog-length subtweet of 100s of actual cases.
