#mediaproducers present us with information about #ourworld. An #objectiveview is an #ideal only. #Objectivity exists as an #aspiration. #Facts themselves might be objectively true, their #presentation never is. #context matters. It would be nice to have a tool that presents all this #content in a manner that helps us categorise & consume less nudgingly. Only #FOSS can deliver here. Be prepared for #manipulative #agents, as #AI is a #tool of #opression primarily. #ads is #legal #humanhacking

Far better it is to dare mighty things, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much or suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago
