Solvable with swarm principles. We’re surrounded by the biggest human swarms ever known, and like-minded folk such as us are on other forums and doing their own things. Find them and collaborate? Substack is a fair start. Comment and plant seeds in the echo chambers of high-profile, high-exposure types? Naomi Wolf comes to mind. Get hyperactive on X? Dig around and get in range of people like Rogan, Taibbi, Peterson? A subscription to Carlson supposedly lets you message him directly. Do all the above? Sure, heavy hitters are insulated, but good ideas attract attention, and every contact has another contact.
What do we need and why? A tight, concise pitch or vision statement for a start? Are we envisioning a new and unique web platform for disseminating questions and collecting, tabulating, and reporting responses? I'm in.
most people seem to forget the 'not freedom of reach' part of elon's dedication to free speech. there's still plenty of censoring on twitter (he just hired a weffer to do the censoring so he could pretend his hands are clean). this swarm is exactly what we need, but musk is not the person to coordinate or lead. we need another Aaron Russo...
agreed! and I would have liked to click 'like' on your response, but substack hasn't allowed me to like comments for months. I'm not alone, either. which tells me they're helping the kakistocrats make us feel isolated. I stopped trusting substack when this began happening.
Presently, every two years, we vote for representatives who are authorized to vote for us on the new laws that will finally do the right thing for everybody.
And yet the honest Congressional and Legislative representative admits that they do not read, examine or debate any of the laws they vote on. They simply cannot because in the USA, they vote on one hundred - 2,000 page laws every day.
They vote the way their "advisors" tell them to vote.
QUESTION TO THE CANDIDATES:
Do you approve of this, that the representatives vote the way the lobbyists tell them to vote?
Decent idea. Now all you need to do is find even one politician that will tell the truth, speak from the heart and speak freely with no regard for the opinion of the media, the DC Swamp and the voters.
Interesting article, that I will re-read tomorrow. But you might be interested to know that you almost lost me at your initial graphic with both Harris and Trump shouting. It’s a dishonest depiction to suggest that these candidates are equal in temperament and demeanor, and this is not the actual problem we are facing.
Also you wrote that candidates who don’t answer questions are committing
political suicide. That’s not been happening. For example, Mr. Trump’s response to being asked about health insurance was that he had a concept of a plan. That’s been going on for seven+ years, and I have yet to hear of anyone walking away from his camp due to his evasiveness. Although we would be well off with clear and creative questions being asked of our candidates, that is hardly where the core of our problems lie.
You need to present these ideas to Elon Musk.
Got his cell? Lol
Sorry no. Wonder how you could get his attention?
