Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators. This Magazine/Community is not affiliated with Improve The News and is an unofficial repository of the information posted there.

  • Amnesty International's Secretary General Agnes Callamard on Wednesday said that the post-1948 world order is "on the brink of collapse" due to global conflicts and unchecked artificial intelligence (AI) growth. Yahoo News
  • During the release of the organization's annual report, Callamard alleged that key powers, including Russia and the PRC, could jeopardize the entire "1948 rule-based order" and erode the fundamental values of shared humanity. Amnesty International
  • The report criticized Israel in the ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza and also condemned the West, including the US and the UK, for what Amnesty characterized as "grotesque double standards" towards Moscow and Tel Aviv. The National
  • Callamard acknowledged that Hamas had committed "horrific crimes" on Oct. 7, and also said that Israel's "campaign of retaliation" plunged the world into chaos, where the moral lessons of "never again" from 1948 were shattered. Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1)
  • Furthermore, Amnesty said that Israel's "campaign of collective punishment," Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and human rights violations worldwide, including in Myanmar, risk decimating "the global rule-based order." Al Jazeera (LR: 2 CP: 1)
  • Urgent measures suggested by Amnesty include reforming the UN Security Council, implementing legislative and regulatory policies to rein in AI, and protecting civilians and marginalized communities around the world. CNA

Narrative A:

  • The aftermath of Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli response mirrors the US reaction to 9/11, which also eroded the rules-based global order. These incidents underscore the need to strengthen a fair application of international law and a shift towards a more just global order to prevent further atrocities and promote peace.

Narrative B:

  • Global shifts in power dynamics are driving countries to recalibrate their strategies and defense spending. Rising tensions between the US, Russia, China, Iran, and Israel are prompting significant military build-ups and alliances. There's an urgent need for a new approach to prevent potential conflicts —the post-WWII order as we knew it has changed dramatically.

Nerd narrative:

  • There's a 20% chance that there will be a "World War Three" before 2050, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
