The timing of the TikTok ban is a little too convenient. He looks like a savior and in the process got TikTok in his pocket. Don’t fall for it! Meta is already in his pocket. Control the flow of info and you can shape public perception to anything you want.

Disgust is a cumulative phenomenon. Each tidbit of false information builds to create an internal narrative which co-opts more and more regions of the brain. Consequently, when our brains are polluted with enough tidbits we reach a threshold where it is difficult to return to rational thought.

If you feel disgust from a concocted (non factual) statement about someone, especially in the political arena, realize you are being manipulated by activation of the insular cortex. Because that area handles both physical and moral disgust, you will feel disgusted merely by their suggestion.

Sometimes people spend an extraordinary amount of energy trying convince others of something they only perceive to be true. That energy would be better spent trying to understand what is actually true.

Did you know that the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009? That's 16 years and it's still sitting at $7.25! Meanwhile the cost of living has only increased and CEO pay has skyrocketed. #RaiseTheWage

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
