it's not "stupid" per se. it's failing to learn the next lessons--the black v white trap. accepting that the answers are grey is difficult.
this particular piece of kabuki is about destroying the H1-B slavery trap at the same time that we talk about replacing it with an actual immigration path that helps us build our team the way we always used to. the answers hide in the middle--in the grey.
we have to remember that they will not be releasing all of the details about this. and, we have to realize that we need to be gentle because the things we take for granted on this subject will break many people's brains.
we have to play by the current rules of the game before we can fix it. we can't afford to lose because we "wanted to stay above it all".
they have brought the kids into this. they have soldiers among civilians. fighting out of uniform.
now, step back and think Q.
why was it a "panic" that was allowed in the press? eventual normalization. attracting the curious and corruptible. setting up the shame for blackmail/control. but also, hiding knowledge. any herbal knowledge was swept up in this. medicinal effects of marijuana and psilocybin. other bits of occult knowledge that would help people unravel their lies.
that's what the plan is for. that is why it feels so scattershot. there are steppingstones in all directions. lots of little steps leading toward a number of different truths. all of those truths are redpills. all of those truths lead to conversations with people like us.
let's ask the truly dangerous questions:
- why are people whose identities have been stolen held accountable for other companies inability to verify their identity accurately? (or, i am not the one who loaned money to someone who wasn't actually me, so why should i be the one paying?)
- how many congressmen recently bought shares in services like lifelock? (or, do we believe this was actually an "accident"?)
the horrifying truth is that the concept of isaac asimov's foundation novels is actually steeped in a horror so deep that most people miss it. the movement of humanity/civilizations is done on gears greased in blood and misery even when it is moving in the correct direction. awareness of the mechanism is a pain that is difficult to bear, and that can only be softened by backing far enough away to see the results. i hope that stepping away grants you this perspective, and that you appreciate that the wheel will, and must, turn though every inch...
so, the whole "manufactured controversy so people will actually pay attention"-thing is a little out of your wheelhouse, huh?
