The Art of Seeing Structure: How to Protect Your Mind and Faith in the Age of Information Warfare
Hello, I’m Ness. My working pseudonym is Ness Almoni. My accounts and publications can be found under the nickname @itsdailyness.tut
For reasons related to information and personal security, I limit the amount of personal information I share publicly.
For the past 2.5 years of the war in Israel, I have been engaged in information and educational work: hosting long-form live streams on social media, conducting OSINT investigations, and developing projects aimed at strengthening public information resilience and security within the framework of the “Gaza Bubble” project.
And perhaps the most difficult — yet most necessary — part of everything I have learned from this experience is learning how to process that experience and turn it into something useful for other people.
Because experience only has value when it becomes a system.
Raw observations, mistakes, verification, and conclusions should not remain personal stories. They should become tools that help others identify risks, understand what is happening around them, and make more informed decisions.
Today, media literacy and basic analytical and critical thinking skills are no longer “useful additional skills.”
They are not a “luxury maximum” — they are a “basic minimum.”
These skills should be viewed the same way we view physical self-defense. You may think: “One day I might need to protect myself physically.” But in the information age, sooner or later you will need digital self-defense.
There is no magic solution capable of preventing this entirely. Unless perhaps you decide to use a button phone — and even that would not solve the problem completely.
That is why media literacy is a real way not to lose yourself in a world where information influences the decisions we make, the emotions we feel, our daily behavior, and our level of trust.
Here, we will try to explain in simple language how the modern information environment works: how social media, algorithms, targeted advertising, information operations, manipulation, bots, fake content, and influence campaigns function.
Our goal is to teach people not just to read the news, but to understand everything that remains “between the lines”: who is speaking, why they are speaking, who benefits from it, what emotions are being triggered, and what traces can actually be verified.
Here, we analyze real examples: publications, accounts, advertising campaigns, websites, applications, media narratives, suspicious information trends, and digital footprints.
You will learn how to:
- verify sources of information;
- recognize manipulation and emotional traps, responding more thoughtfully instead of emotionally;
- understand how narratives and agendas are formed;
- distinguish facts from interpretation;
- analyze accounts, websites, and publications;
- identify signs of bots, fake accounts, and coordinated influence campaigns;
- carefully assess digital services and data collection risks;
- understand how algorithms shape what you see in your feed;
- improve cross-cultural understanding.
I am not teaching people to panic. Panic exists where there is a gap in knowledge.
What we aim to do is teach you to see structure where most people see only a post, a headline, an advertisement, or a comment.
In the age of information warfare, it is important to know how to protect not only your devices, but also your attention, your thinking, and your perception.
