Curiosity can glow bright enough to light a room—or trigger a Geiger counter. We follow a remarkable arc from a twelve-year-old who assembled a working fusion setup out of surplus parts to a whistleblower whose warnings shook a nuclear powerhouse. The contrast is stark: a kid scavenging eBay for a turbomolecular pump, validating fusion with an open research consortium, and then answering to the FBI; a lab technician documenting contamination, faulty gear, and missing plutonium, only to vanish...

We argue for North–South solidarity, demilitarized tech, and budgets that fund care over killbots. • Operation Southern Spear as testbed for AI maritime warfare • Monroeism and Jim Cro...
