The only truth I can understand or express is, logically defined, a lie. Psychologically defined, a symbol. Aesthetically defined, a metaphor.
Ursula K. Le Guin

@christine_broesenhuber The main difference between now and 50 years ago, is the fact that #Media wasn't social, just media, meaning folks talking and giving their opinions were somehow #Qualified and subject to standards. Today in "social" media any uneducated imbecile can speak freely, without standards, and poor to no knowledge, reaching an enormous audience made of people as ignorant and dumb as him, creating a #Falsehood-based movement, detached from reality and anchored in ignorance.
I asked Chat-GPT what it could tell me about myself, and the results were. . . interesting. . .
It says some nice things, but also tends to make stuff up, gets quite a bit wrong, attributes other people's work to me, and tells you it can't find information on stuff easy to dig up!

@mercedesallen 🤔 "Christian nationalists" coming out as not so much Christian at all, but rather peeping at National Socialist ideology & practices.

These delusional myths and superstitions used to be a tiny percentage of the population.
How did so many fall into the abyss?

#Falsehood flies and the truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect
