Yup, doing our own research is the only the best option, but since most of it is done .online, it's just a matter of time before the tech bros are cajoled into modulating politica content completely, maybe even rewriting evolution, que no?
“Every video, every photo, every voicemail could be fake…” Let’s develop a “truth app.” Snopes on steroids. I wish I could say this isn’t brilliant and spot on…truth is, it’s where we are today. You nailed it again.
It's the let's-pretend trauma-matrix with Stockholm Syndrome. Still, despite the shrinking of attention spans impelled by digital hyperconnection and the accretion of online artifice and conspiracy theory garbage, people from far-flung corners of the globe who worried their artistic or intellectual divergence might be evidence of grim pathology have been able to connect and share ideas, inspiration and validation whereas previously they might have just worn odd clothing, worked furtively at the drug store, and pored over the odd dodgy gnostic text that turned up at the second-hand bookstore.
In fact, the Truth IS grim pathology. Well put, Steve Wolf. I have the gnostic text. I have a peaceful dog. I have a piano. I'm set! Let's gather at Bret's place next year with our instruments and go wild!

At this point, anything is possible.

I have no idea where we go from here, or how.
Thanks for another great essay.
Is Wiki a reliable source? You couldn’t cite it years ago, but now?… Appreciated this piece.
Terrific writing Brett! So good to hear the truth that you are giving us. So terrible that what you say is the truth!
Well. There IS my dog. I got nothing brilliant to say. You just said it.
We need the truth if we're going to survive

I just hope my stay is in Guanajuato not Cancun ….. i’m only thinking about one of them.
