Comparing life to a chocolate chip cookie recipe oversimplifies the complexity of being human! We’re not meant to surrender our integrity & be blindly obedient to leaders, prophets, or institutions. We are meant to ask questions, reality-test our beliefs, & use reasoning abilities we all possess

I couldn’t stay quiet about Trump’s comments on Bad Bunny because the contrast says a lot!
I watched this documentary, and I was left wanting. I was disappointed they didn’t get into brainwashing, mind control, and psychological warfare, especially how our personal data is being hacked so AI can manipulate people’s minds. That’s a major omission, inexcusable

Jimmy Kimmel’s humor might land for many of us, but it won’t necessarily pull a true believer out of the cult of Trump.
Trump’s Truth Social rant after the Grammys tells us everything we need to know about how mind control works. Trump’s behavior follows the same pattern I saw when I realized my former leader was lying to me. Once the lie cracks in a person's mind, the entire illusion begins to crumble.

Nothing like a Proletarian Revolution, bruh! I swear this video makes me laugh every time I come across it on social media. Cos we all know he ain't talking about Mao Zedong or a Proletarian Revolution, but the editing just makes the video come together, lol. 🤣😭

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.
Speaker Emerita Pelosi: Trump took $500 billion out of Medicare and $1 trillion out of Medicaid, took many off SNAP and the Republicans just stood up and cheered. All of that to give a tax but to the richest people in America.

Trump, ever the grifter, doesn't think he has to pay back the $166 Billion he owes on tariff refunds. "In theory, you have to pay the tariffs back. We'll fight that. But in theory, you have to pay them back." Hey, Trump, how about 'in theory' we stop paying all of our bills, too?!

AI can be used ethically for pre-visualization or social media, low budget comedy & political satire. If an artist like Madonna appears in her own artistic expression why not. The problem is when jobs are eliminated by stealing the art of humanity. Turning artists into slaves & digital rape is evil
