Thank you very much for reading and offering your thoughts.

I would like to elaborate a little more on this, mostly for my own personal reflection, but I would enjoy hearing your response.

I think these people deserve only so much of our mental space. Pizzagate, Abramovic, mass-media, politics, religion, chemtrails, Monstanto - whatever it is. These are all proofs of our slavery, the damaging symptoms of our belief in authority. One doesn't need to search for very long to find these proofs, a great degree of intelligence is unneccessary; a child could understand the injustice of income tax.

For me, from now on, I need only to keep this fact at the forefront: I am a slave. I purposefully wear it on my forehead every day. I think we ought to focus on that, we ought to avoid being distracted by further evidence of it, since this new evidence becomes a toy. Our slavery becomes a rubicks cube to play with rather than a thing to be overcome.

You seem to be a thoughtful person. I think the trap that people like you and I can fall into is this habit of perpetual revaluation. Perpetual seeking. We hold these so high, it's a treat to add a new piece of knowledge to our repertoire, and eventually this can take precedent over taking action. We must take action in our communities, even in small ways. Being intelligent and well-informed simply isn't enough anymore. If we do not act on the information and perspectives that we work so hard for, we are contributing nothing more than the people who are still asleep.

A sense of urgency must be maintained: I am a slave, this is unacceptable and I refuse to live a lifetime in this fashion - this is #1 on my to-do list.
