I woke up thinking about the use of social media by unknown actors to plan our emotions to take us through hyper roller coaster of emotional responses to obscure the horizon that we've all long had. That studies us. That helps us guide ourselves from day to day on an emotional level. What that then allows the actors to do is to play on the characters in that scenario, to make smaller changes fit into outsized, complex, hard to actually grapple pictures that can then drive new reasons for doing things

Hey, David, I've really come to enjoy some of your nightthoughts, and I am just going to, you know, throw this over to you while it's easy to blame claim unknown actors for our actions, we ourselves responsible. Is this absolving us of responsibility? So can somebody unknown or known ever put anything out there, whether it's on social media, whether it's on print media, whether it's on a poster, or whether it's on a megaphone? Right?

It's also interesting to think about the words we're using together in a conversation between other. Now there's just three of us, my voice, my tool, and I can use it to lull someone in, to shock them, to relax them, to seduce them. And that's the tool I have at my disposal right here. Right now, the intention is informed by my own value system. Am I a good person who wants to effect change using the social platform using audio?

And that way we are continuing to enact a sense of victimhood rather than learning to forgive ourselves for the ways in which maybe we have continued to make ourselves into victims because it's been our conditioning. So that is the lens through which I am seeing your question where I think there is opportunity to really reflect and think about the ways in which we can heal ourselves and reclaim our sovereignty
