this is something I realize then forget so very much bears repeating. With LLMs you got to figure its not that hard to setup something like a Substack personality for every faction divide on any and all issues if an agency was so inclined and I think we can all imagine quite a few such agencies.

Thank you! I’m going to pass this on. I’ve noticed this and yet fallen for it on occasion. At one point I sent a long podcast out to friends who have a large mailing list, for them to pass it on further. I didn’t have time to listen to the whole two hours, but it started out so well. Later, I finally heard it all and was horrified at how it twisted its own message at the end and was obviously (to me) planted trickery. I’ve been hyper cautious since then, but clearly we all need more information about the forces at work. Thanks 🙏

We really can't trust anyone anymore; that's the reality we've come to understand (those of us who are searching for "truth"). The idea that we take comfort from reading sources in alt media should give us pause, but for most it probably doesn't. So, if we can't trust mainstream media (we can't) and we can't trust alt media (increasingly it appears we can't), where then do we go to find some semblance of "truth?" It's easier and easier to understand why so many have completely (or nearly) disconnected themselves from all media and instead turned to concentrating on the things close to them over which they can have more control and comfort.

I think that's what I'm going to do too, disconnect or rather reconnect. The 'truth' is in our hearts, not out there.
