If you're facing immense power and all you have to do is shut up to make it stop, it's a bit of a no brainer I think. No matter how wrong that may sound. If sacrificing yourself won't make any difference, then there is no point.
I was zipped shut and completely moved on in my life. I said my peace internally, basically hoping they would fire me because I didn’t want to be implicated in a sedition plot.
I only spoke out publicly as on New Knowledge in 2024. That’s 6 years of silence.
At that point since 2018, I have been contacted and seriously fucked with by 4 different people affiliated with New Knowledge. 3 out of 4 have told me this isn’t going to stop until I commit suicide.
This all happened for years before I ever spoke out.
Naturally, I was a little spooked when I left, but I knew no one would believe me and how damaging it could be to me if I spoke out. I didn’t really have any desire to turn myself upside.
I had nothing to stand on until they were caught red handed by the NY Times, which apparently they leaked themselves.
I had no idea for years that Graveley had anything to do with New Knowledge but his ties run deep with original DARPA programs New Knowledge was birthed from.
His ties go back even further if you count his father’s business relationships with John Poindexter of DARPA’s Total Information Awareness program.
I thought he was just another wealthy tech bro and while his behavior was terrifying and nothing that would have been stopped by silence in his own words, I had no idea he had all these connections to people directly involved in the creation of New Knowledge at DARPA.
You would be surprised at how far the influence of Nat Friedman goes. He’s one of the most prolific angel investors in tech. It’s virtually impossible to find a tech startup that he hasn’t invested in that’s worth anything.
