Love this conversation. Absolutely spot on. Including the last bit about discerning the truth, and not swallowing manufactured 'truth' just because the 'right' people said so.

Yes...I think that part was particularly important, especially in this era of targeting truth and accurate journalism. It has been with us forever, and it seems to be growing in favor to trust no one except the people on your 'team.'

Hit the nail on the head.. A state drifts towards tyranny through uninformed consent. Yet the 'elites' use power, money, and influence to engineer this. How to reverse? Most people are either too stupid, uninterested, or distracted by circuses to see the takeover.

yes...tyranny starts with uninformed consent. Uninformed consent is also an accelerator that fuels power, money, and influence.
