Buzzword "equity" exists in social media. Or maybe it's a meritocracy.

The person who can write or video engagingly can have reach far beyond the limit of their income.

Dangerous indeed the voice of the common people, when we hear them more loudly than the establishment types.

Substack authors influence me more than my lawyer neighbours - in fact my lawyer neighbours are shown up as non-thinking, going on out of date information, club membership fools.

But from what you are saying Stegiel, influencing me matters not a whit. Keeping the lawyers in their MSM groove seems to still be working.

They lined up for the clotshots and worry about climate change.

So it somewhat does of course given our reality is top down no matter what truth reveals. We as humans are political or social animals trapped by primate dominance masked by intelligence. Covid propaganda aimed at elite did intentionally include Eve Everywoman. However the internet deflected the impact. I am a dystopian thinker after my first post-nuclear war book 2250 A.D. in 4th grade. My overall situation is grounded in the idea of increasing Dystopia but my struggle is with despair in writing it. Maybe you know surfing Dystopia, even theorizing carefully regarding it, is negative for me and the world by perpetuating an evil ideation. I like Utopian fiction by contrast but I have to become Rousseau to feel it..

Learning Linux. FreeGeek.org has nice cheap computers that are already Linux'd. Freegeek is a small organization that teaches folks to work on computers and turns computer donations into sellable items; my laptop was under $200. Now, to learn the dang thing. Bye Bill.
