Or maybe, the way it has all played out, is divine providence at work.

Or maybe, like fighting addiction, a near death hitting bottom experience is needed, before the long climb back can even begin.

IDK. But I do know this. All of your amazing work and personal trials and sacrifice has made a difference in getting to where we are today.

The next 120 days are going to be lit.

When we discuss societal controls and the Culture War, I feel it is important to always reinforce certain steps that will always exist.

The Mere Exposure Effect, self-monitoring/self-regulating, and ultimately Operant Conditioning.

Add to these the effects of Neuro-linguistic Programming. Then add to NLP the advent of AI "nudging" and you quickly arrive at Technocratic Totalitarianism.
