I went to the gynecologist many years ago, because as it turned out, I had a cyst on one ovary. Don’t run; I’m not going into details. There’s a metaphor coming. Anyway, the doctor said, “I’ll schedule you for surgery.”
I said, “Nope.”
He said, “What did you say?”
I said, “I said no thanks; think of another way.”
Hahaha. I can still see that face of indignation glaring at me, a not-a-doctor, telling big man no, he in his white lab coat and I in…well nothing but a sheet and sitting on the exam table. But he said, “Well we can put pressure on it and burst it and I think you KNOW what will happen if it is cancerous.” By the way, this same guy asked me, years later, whether or not I wanted my baby circumcised. My baby was a girl. I never saw him after that. But I digress, and still I laugh. Let’s continue.
I said, “I don’t like that option; what’s next?” I ended up taking birth control and the cyst dissolved. DROP the mike. There went a boat payment for that doctor, no doubt.
My point is about the pressure and bursting and broadcasting cells throughout my body, a fear tactic that didn’t work. Why? Because I’m not stupid. But in light of the Fox News issue with Carlson…I’m thinking about the dispersal of all those Fox News watchers who have scattered to the winds, throughout the ‘body’, as it were. And I’m thinking this could end up being a very interesting outcome for those trying to stifle free speech and an even better one for those whose go-to news channel is now toast.
Think about it. There is a PLETHORA of sites conservatives can go to, run by independent journalists, individuals who are not under the thumb or control of “Big Media”, not beholding to a non-compete or a rule to parrot what all of the other parrots say. Do they really think we don’t notice that?? I always wonder whether any of them can actually spell the words they parrot. I’m sure some of them cannot.
Imagine how unruly, or rather, unruled, the voices of the middle-of-the-road folks will be. I’m talking about the grassroots folks who are able to listen to ALL perspectives and draw their own conclusions, who have escaped the brainwashing tactics, who believe in free speech! This is going to be amazing to watch folks. Don’t despair; just log on to YouTube and look around. You’re gonna love what you find there. Oh and dare I say it? Twitter.
And listen, this is the way of the future, big media in your silos shouting down at the minions within. You have built yourself a container within which you control everything, while OUTSIDE your silo, the world is leaving your asses behind. There is weather, sunshine, even goodness, and intelligent people and opinions different from yours! OMG. And I’m being generous when I equate you being in a silo. What I really think involves a stinky hole ending with a rectum, within which your head has become quite comfortable. Funny what wealth does to jerks.
I believe in the ability of intelligent people to find their ‘tribe’, to weed out the wackos, to sift through untruths and manipulations and find THE truth, not A truth, not YOUR truth…THE truth. Which does exist, it’s just that big media doesn’t want you to know that, because it will cost them. So yeah, I hear silos cracking. I’m loving it, because people can finally hear what is actually going on and be able to make good, common sense choices. And there will be no screeching like we’ve been set afire. We’ll just watch, analyze and move onward, leaving the screeching to echo within the silos…or that other dark smelly place. The rest of us will be outside in the sun.
Until AI. Sorry! Had to say that because you KNOW that’s going to really mess things up.
