Our Post-Truth, Post-Trust World Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog, A system that comes to depend on synthetic signaling for its "information" is doomed to Model Collapse, as its signaling has completely detached from the real world. That we inhabit a post-truth world seems to accepted wisdom. But that's only half of it. We also live in a post-trust world. In a post-truth world, everything is shaped by the implicit goals of the entity claiming to state the "truth," as the entire point of claiming to state the "truth" is to persuade the target populace to agree to something favorable to the issuer of the claimed "truth." In other words, the "truth" as something that has no intentional spin of self-interest no longer exists. What is passed off as "truth" is spin intended / designed to serve the interests of those doing the spinning. This is the definition of propaganda and marketing, which are pure expressions of self-interest, and they've been around since the dawn of civilization, as persuading others to do what serves your private interests is much lower cost / more profitable than having to modify their behaviors with force. The first step in the con of propaganda and marketing is to win the trust of the mark. This is a fascinating process, as some people are willing believers and others are skeptical, and so the trust campaign must speak to both the skeptics and those primed to embrace the message for reasons that have less to do with the entity issuing the message and more to do with their internal beliefs. The trick with skeptics is to present persuasive evidence--the "facts." These can be first-person accounts, scientific studies, or something presented as self-evident. The con artist presents the facts as if they are objective and the mark is invited to "decide for yourself:" the con artist claims he has no intent to persuade. This is humorously illustrated in Melville's classic novel The Confidence-Man . The rise of the collection of data an...

Pacific Investment Management Co. is looking to sell a portion of the $14 billion of debt financing it’s providing for a massive Oracle Corp. data center in Michigan, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The campus in Saline Township will be backed by $16.3 billion of financing, roughly 15% of which is set to come in the form of an equity investment, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing non-public information, as well as terms of the proposed transaction seen by Bloomberg News. The remainder will be financed with bonds issued by a special purpose vehicle. Pimco is anchoring the financing, which is being led by Bank of America Corp. and is expected to close on April 17, the terms show. Blackstone is planning to contribute about $2 billion of equity, Bloomberg previously reported. Spokespeople for Pimco and Bank of America declined to comment, while a representative for Blackstone did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Oracle said it’s “proud of the rapid progress that’s been made both in financing and developing our data center in Saline Township.” Read more: Pimco Said to Weigh $14 Billion Debt Deal for Oracle Data Center The bonds have a 19.5-year maturity and a 14-year weighted average life, a measure of how long it will take for the principal of the amortizing debt to be repaid, the documents show. For six years, the borrower will pay back interest only, with the bond amortized over the following 13 years. The securities are structured in a so-called 144A format, meaning they’re sold privately and only to large, institutional investors. Pimco is still gauging investor interest in the deal and the terms being offered could change, according to the people familiar with the matter. For now, to entice investors to buy in, the bonds are poised to offer potential backers a little more than one percentage point over the yield of Oracle’s existing debt that is due in April 2040 on the day they commit to the financing.
