Watched the season finale of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN. New York City could be a metaphor for our country, and Mayor Fisk a representation of you-know-who. Powerful closing message about strength in numbers and the power of resistance at any and all levels--a recent example being Harvard.

Learned a new term today from the book I’m reading: “conflict entrepreneur”, someone who inflames social division for their own ends. Basically Fox News, Newsmax, OAN, and a significant percentage of social media.
