At a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I guess this is what I'm wondering about. I don't expect the American City of God to be forthcoming, because the book that captures the spirit of the age would have nearly an opposite intention, but I don't know how Steven Pinker and Thomas Friedman are going to keep the whole thing going in the face of greater and greater daily, material, evidence to the contrary.

All I know is that the next six months will be critical. :hmmyes:

this is a great idea and as soon as the supreme court signs off on it on religious freedom grounds you can start expecting to see more businesses require you to pay them to maintain employment.

a worthy temple to number.
some of the states petitioning bezos to headquarter with them proposed giving the taxes employees paid directly to amazon

Makes a lot of sense, particularly in the context of the Ukraine War. Russia and Europe are obviously taking the biggest bath on that, whereas China (and arguably the US) see some economic upside.

The problem is way worse than that. The "narrative" is completely fundamental to how we engage with the world. There are just too many people out there using too many channels to tell you whatever you want to hear. The entire concept of material reality being a thing is hanging on by a thread at this point.

LOL good to see all the folks in this thread who said "never getting charged" taking ownership of being wrong

I'm sure nobody will move to "well never getting convicted" and pretend they never said it

Anyhow I was in the "never getting charged" camp so I'll own it. I'm surprised.
