Yes very well said mate and could not agree more - certainly lots of 'perception management' and 'influence operations' going on (performed by 'behaviour change specialists') and also looks like intelligence agencies are neck deep in Silicon Valley.
Apparently it's rather difficult to find 'any' major Silicon Valley company who is 'not' connected to US intelligence agencies one way or another.
