This simply is not a conspiracy theory, we know for certain it occurs, just not the extent of exploitation; of its misuse, abuse and manipulation.

Herein are 3 liberals (former liberals, classical liberals, neo liberals?) with whom I can listen and respect. They, too, are willing to listen and to assert, to evolve a viewpoint using agreement and critique that should be more just “ “how it's done” “.

This segment was cut from a very interesting larger discussion which I would highly recommend (as well as one including Jordan Peterson and another including the 4 and Ben Shapiro… many very good minds hitting on all cylinders from different angles).

I thought this is where these 3, not at all to be considered conservatives, made very cogent points and indirectly ones we, as a society, should probably very soon address, tackle.

My questions after viewing:

1. How far should government, or corporations for that matter, be allowed to enter into our private lives?

2. Government formerly needed cause to open our mail, or further enter our property, access to phone calls… but now they have access to practically everything. Do we want this?

3. Could we even stop it if we don't so desire this encoachment?

4. What are government's proper limits?

5. Can we safeguard what is ours and truly of no business to anyone but those that we explicitly give permission?

6. How might we govern against the disinformation by our government, the planted false story?

Or is this not really a problem? Other questions that come to mind from any perspective?
 
if you live in Panama you prolly have nothing to be concerned about

I reside in Minnesota & I'm not concerned ..........
 
I’m of the opinion that the answer to #3 is no; which renders the position, academic.

You really really only stay on the shallow end of the pool, eh?

Quit holding on to the security ladder maybe, turn around... see that diving board at the way other side of the pool? Drum up the courage, get out of the womb like warmth of the knee deep, walk around, get on the board, take a deep breath...dive in , the knowledge at this depth is wonderful.

So hopeful not being you.

I rejected that mentality even as a kid. Remember watching a TV show and the they had a view in through the windshield of a woman erratically driving a car being chased by another around a curvy cliff road.

Of course you come to know that the frantic woman will lose control... she quickly did, jamming on the brakes, tires screeching as she throws up her arms, screams and then she careens over the cliff to certain death.

I wasnt close to being old enough to drive ...but my instincts kicked in, knew she should never have given up, should have kept her hands on the wheel, steered through it...do everything to save herself, never give up.

What has one of good intent to lose? What is our obligation, not only to ourselves but to our common posterity?

We are more numerous and together we are far smarter, stronger than they. Why ignore, why voluntarily become the pathetic apathetic, why give up the dominant hand, why lose the very important fights when you can win?
