I don't use Facebook, Instagram or Telegram, and my X profile is just a placeholder. Don't trust any of them.

Nothing that happens in this realm is to be "trusted." We are in a realm of lies. The air itself is made of them. But in order to "see" through those lies, these SM clips are actually quite useful. Stringing those together gives a composite that is wholly different than the preferred narrative offering. So it is practically the only reason for being there.

SM overall is the Wild Wild West of the 21st C. Nothing is really trustworthy. So that's not the reason to be there. What is available is enough of the "stories" to figure out where the narratives have holes. And eventually piece together the bag all these movies are playing inside and how we relate to them all. Nothing about this experience (life) is what is seems.

When the chaos hits with the information blackouts, if we still have internet we will still be able to work with these collections to discuss the virtual reality life game. And how we play our way out of it.

I love your snippet posts. They become a collage.

Interesting breakdown of the Durov Telegram debacle. I saw they were tracking him based on the girlfriend Instagram posts.

Zuck is trying desperately to hedge his bets now. It looks as though he thinks Trump will ascend and is trying to get out ahead. Trying to play both sides of the fence…as is Musk now.

I’m in agreement with Mike. I have no social media presence at all. I have to laugh at all the keyboard warriors posting anonymously though. They think they really are anonymous. Are they ever going to be shocked.
