The interview Stephen Bartlett did with Tristan Harris was incredibly rich and ended on a hopeful note. But hope only matters if we act. We need ethical structures and a clear understanding of undue influence before AI systems begin shaping people’s realities at scale.

This documentary is an incredible opportunity to understand what mind control cults actually do to people. I’ve known Christine Marie for a long time & seeing her journey, along with the courage of survivors like Nomz really shows both the trauma and the possibility of healing & rebuilding a life.

Karoline Leavitt’s press briefings are a masterclass in propaganda. Many MAGA supporters are exiting because they are realizing how inflation & prices are going up, the economy is getting bad & there are no trustworthy numbers anymore People deserve real information, not theatrics 🎥 @brutamerica

2 + 2 = 5 isn’t just a phrase from a novel; it’s how mind control works. George Orwell warned us about this in 1984 and Animal Farm, and this new documentary 2 + 2 = 5 connects those insights directly to what’s happening today. ever about protecting our minds. Video credit: YouTube @EntractFilms

I want to thank Trevor Noah for having me on his podcast Brainwashing is a dissociative disorder, splitting your identity between your real self & your cult self. As dissonance increases between those two, people leave. That’s why it’s so important to interact curiously with friends, family & MAGA

That “confidence” might be a mask. Narcissism expert Frank George, PhD explains how pathological narcissism can be driven by deep insecurity. And when the mask cracks, they’ll do anything to protect it. Sound like anyone you know? Watch the full interview here: youtu.be/gzvPC6tKS5Q

DEMOCRAT BAD ARGUMENT: The argument, ''Trump must be a pedo cause he doesn't sue people who accuse him of it''. This is the argument from silence fallacy. This is not evidence. This is not logic. This is a textbook example of faulty reasoning.

Ever wonder why a simple noise dispute can cost you $100,000? The legal system is a pay-to-win game where the richest person takes all. See why the law is no longer about finding the truth, but just a costly game of who puts on the best show.
