“These digital silos amplify specific messages and suppress alternative views, creating a skewed understanding of the world.”

PANDA is also guilty of this. 3 talks given by Dr Jonathan Couey previously up on its website have since been removed and are now unavailable.

Another aspect of censorship is that NGO's who receive foreign aid generally have to espouse right on views vis a vis their donors ,so they become flag carriers for whatever ideology their *sponsors* are touting, this filters into the community from where employees are sourced and whilst lip service only may be paid to the ideology, the competition for *jobs* means you can be outed as ideologically unsuitable to the ideals promoted by the NGO/NPO, thus ensuring you internalise your censorship,

Three simple words in response.....FUCKING NAILED IT!

Social media platforms, podcasts, cliffhanger notes from the two all lead to many shaping their world views without thorough, vigorous investigations into the subject matter, and the critical prolonged period of pondering, picking apart and evaluating the information before forming a comprehensive position (the process should be carried out time and time again, as and when more information relating to the subject is introduced).

It is difficult to evade the inclusionary/exclusionary factions whose proclivities are already to promote or demote anyone who is not within a given ideological faction. When Natural Law and Natural Parents can be usurped and supplanted by the unnatural actors/actresses of the "State" to the detriment of reality limned though biased/fictional accounts of those who know that they can use the street theater of force and fraud to enforce what their prescient minds have already determined, and the natural parents are "canceled" by reason of the same and subjected to months of coercive detention and mockery, then who can challenge the pretended "Authorities" when they have the armies to back up their opinions, no matter how erroneous?

It is too late. Wars always result in new technology and debt. When this results in new technologies outside wars we see it as a benefit. Debt has also been used by people to enjoy having all the new technologies. What we need is a society that is based on personal responsibility and not debt and state dependency. That will slow everything down and allow us the time to adjust to a sustainable progress.

I am very quick to gather information and can recognize intelligent discernment on a subject but I am always wary of ascribing any absolute Truth to what my psyche or another's psyche experiences or perceives. As Aristotle said, "The mark of an educated mind, is to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

I fully agree that thoughtful debate and reflection would lead to much better outcomes, especially when long term implications are taken into account.

Furthermore elevating the rational debate versus emotional debate is also important, whilst not completely ignoring emotional argumentation.

Problem at this moment in time is that political decisions are made on what appears to be a whim, so that is why the conversations are more frantic than they should be.
