Yet the same government want to give 16 year olds the vote.

Age verification: easy technical solution: parents should be able to enter their kids age on the smartphone itself so that download of certain apps is not possible. No need for later age verification, the phone knows the kids age.

I’m fully convinced by Siegel’s Information State work. The West is already operating on post-liberal realities.

We had better learn the rules of this new game fast. Because none of the old moves work and I’m convinced it’s pointless to play a new game with old moves.

Siegel's work on this is excellent (review incoming when I have a moment) and yes, actually existing post-liberalism is not at all the tweedy Chestertonian distributism we ordered

I am thoroughly excited to read your Siegel review. Thank you for dedicating some time to that, and thank you also for the turn of phrase "not at all the tweedy Chestertonian distributism we ordered" :D
