|content=Thanks for the invitation. I can try to explain my concern.
Ā 
There really *is* a problem w MAGA, Trump, Qanon &amp; conspiracy theories running rampant.Ā  And it will result in death &amp; destruction if it spins out of control.
Ā 
However it is being fueled by those who claim to fight it.

|content=The entire war over fact checking is a war of 2 low resolution teams.
Ā 
One team wants absolute freedom to spread wild eyed theories that just about everything is a psyop or a false flag.
Ā 
The other team wants to impose institutional consensus reality on everyone via media &amp; tech.

|content=Unfortunately, I canā€™t live under either. So each of the warring parties thinks Iā€™m against them &amp; for the other team. In their mentalities if you arenā€™t on their simplistic team you are, de facto, working for the other side. Thereā€™s no basic concept of *responsible* heterodoxy.

Ā 
And, I assure you, @Harvard tries to paint anyone it canā€™t control as dangerous.

|content=[[Managed Reality TM|Managed Reality ā„¢]] has a weak spot. Itā€™s not run by our A-team anymore. Fauci isnā€™t Francis Crick. Biden isnā€™t Elon. Janet Yellen isnā€™t Satoshi.
Ā 
In general, the A-Team is going independent because tech/media/Ed are enforcing way too much conformity through personal destruction.

|content=So why am I worried?
Ā 
Well, Iā€™ve been trying to save the institutions. Itā€™s probably doomed, but almost no one is trying to do what I do: rescue the institutions from their death spiral by reinserting their critics in positions of prominence (eg Chomsky at MIT).
Ā 
Hence my fear.
