COMMENTARY: Intellectuals Have an Obligation to Speak Out - Future U
Intellectuals have an obligation to bring what they learn to a wider audience. They also have an obligation to listen to the general public and learn how everyday people view the world. This morning, I was struck with yet another reminder that the jaws of fascism continue to close upon American society. Police in Marion, Kansas, raided a local newspaper office, seizing computers, cell phones, and even the company’s internet router. The report reads like something coming right out of Putin’s Russia. If you don’t like what the reporters write, then censor them and seize the tools of their trade.

Elon keeps restricting features on my Twitter account and when these restrictions pop up, he kindly offers me the chance to "get verified"...
And this is exactly how we get scammed and played by the overlords to start giving them money for something we already had...
I have to ask, since it is coming up more now, but do you think it is a mistake to "quantize" gravity?
This has been one of the most frightening posts/polls I ran in a long time...
