What did Milton Friedman say about "temporary" government programs?
"There is nothing more permanent than temporary government programs."

In this post I am republishing a blog post from HackerNoon, June 24, 2025 by Tim Hinchliffe, Editor, The Sociable. It is very well researched and sourced material showing that the Pentagon (DARPA) is funding AI-modeling programs in order to fake future pandemics with greater ease. DARPA is getting into the business of simulating disease outbreaks, including modeling interventions such as mass vaccination campaigns, lockdowns, and communication strategies. Last week [mid-June, 2025], the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) put out a Request for Information (RFI) seeking information regarding "state-of-the-art capabilities in the simulation of disease outbreaks." The Pentagon's research and development funding arm wants to hear from academic, industry, commercial, and startup communities on how to develop "advanced capabilities that drive technical innovation and identify critical gaps in bio-surveillance, diagnostics, and medical countermeasures" in order to "improve preparedness for future public health emergencies."
As if masks, social distancing, lockdowns, and vaccination mandates under the unscientific guise of slowing the spread and preventing the transmission of COVID weren't harmful enough, the US military wants to model the effects of these exact same countermeasures for future outbreaks. The RFI also asks participants "Fatality Rate & Immune Status: How are fatality rates and varying levels of population immunity (natural or vaccine-induced) incorporated into your simulations?" Does "natural or vaccine-induced" relate to "population immunity" or "fatality rates" or both? Moving on, the RFI gets into modeling lockdowns, social distancing, and mass vaccination campaigns, along with communication strategies: "Intervention Strategies: Detail the range of intervention strategies that can be modeled, including (but not limited to) vaccination campaigns, social distancing measures, quarantine protocols, treatments, and public health communication strategies. Specifically, describe the ability to model early intervention and its impact on outbreak trajectory." The fact that DARPA wants to model these so-called intervention strategies just after the entire world experienced them suggests that these exact same measures will most likely be used again in the future.
With lockdowns, mass vaccination campaigns, and social distancing still on the table from the last around, it appears that AI and Machine Learning will play a much bigger role in the next. For future innovation, the DARPA RFI asks applicants to: "Please describe any novel technical approaches – or applications of diverse technical fields (e.g., machine learning, artificial intelligence, complex systems theory, behavioral science) – that you believe would significantly enhance the state-of-the-art capabilities in this field or simulation of biological systems wholistically." Instead of putting a Dr. Fauci, a Dr. Birx, a replaceable CDC director, a TV doctor, a big pharma CEO, or a Cuomo brother out there to lie to your face about how they were all just following The ScienceTM, why not use AI and ML and combine them with behavioral sciences in order to concoct your "public health communications strategies?" When you look at recently announced DARPA programs like Kallisti and MAGICS, which are aimed at creating an algorithmic Theory of Mind to model, predict, and influence collective human behavior, you start to get a sense of how all these programs can interweave.
On April 8, DARPA issued an Advanced Research Concepts (ARC) opportunity for a new program called "Methodological Advancements for Generalizable Insights into Complex Systems (MAGICS)" that seeks "new methods and paradigms for modeling collective human behavior." Nowhere in the MAGICS description does it mention modeling or predicting the behavior of "adversaries" as is DARPA's custom. Instead, it talks at length about "modeling human systems," along with anticipating, predicting, understanding, and forecasting "collective human behavior" and "complex social phenomena" derived from "sociotechnical data sets." Could DARPA's MAGICS program be applied to simulating collective human behavior when it comes to the next public health emergency, be it real or perceived?
In December 2024, DARPA launched a similar program called Theory of Mind, which was renamed Kallisti a month later. The goal of Theory of Mind is to develop "new capabilities to enable national security decisionmakers to optimize strategies for deterring or incentivizing actions by adversaries," according to a very brief special announcement. DARPA never mentions who those "adversaries" are. In the case of a public health emergency, an adversary could be anyone who questions authoritative messaging. The Theory of Mind program will also "seek to combine algorithms with human expertise to explore, in a modeling and simulation environment, potential courses of action in national security scenarios with far greater breadth and efficiency than is currently possible. "This would provide decisionmakers with more options for incentive frameworks while preventing unwanted escalation."
They say that all the modeling and simulating across programs is for "national security," but that is a very broad term. DARPA is in the business of R&D for national security purposes, so why is the Pentagon modeling disease outbreaks and intervention strategies while simultaneously looking to predict and manipulate collective human behavior? If and when the next outbreak occurs, the same draconian and Orwellian measures that governments and corporations deployed in the name of combating COVID are still on the table. And AI, Machine Learning, and the military will play an even bigger role than the last time around. From analyzing wastewater to learning about disease spread; from developing pharmaceuticals to measuring the effects of lockdowns and vaccine passports, from modeling and predicting human behavior to coming up with messaging strategies to keep everyone in compliance — "improving preparedness for future public health emergencies" is becoming more militaristically algorithmic by the day.
