“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
I’m afraid our children and grandchildren will be paying most of the bill. As you proceed to peel back the onion’s layers, you make your case that none of us can be confident that we have a lock on the truth. I suspect that one day the truths of the world will be made known to us all. For good and evil.
Personally, I believe in free speech at all costs. It would be fantastic if there were sources that were trustworthy and tried and true. Sadly, in today’s world it takes a lot of time and effort to find truths. Especially as AI rears its ugly head.
Today I ran into one and I asked him to name names since he wanted to hunt them down. He couldn’t or didn’t, but claimed they were all down in Orange County,California. 🙈😂
“In our world of shadow and light lurks dangerous ideas that masquerade as truth,…”. and
“Naturally, if an idea looks like shit, smells like shit and tastes like shit, then it’s probably shit and I shouldn’t have tasted it, …” 😂
Right now (decline of last 3 or 4 decades?), the outcome looks real grim. I honestly believe the only palatable solution is for it all to burn to the ground. Those most affected will be those following blindly….The true fascists will eat their own and that would be a delight to see. The only way to enable true change is for the effect or event to be catastrophic. Elections will never fix what ails us (planet-wide).
Reference your previous notes, our physical library is the most important room in our home and our farm / animals our refuge and support of reality…plant those ‘taters..😉
