sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Great comment, and will someone please tell me why the fact that Elon Musk is “unelected” is a problem? Do people not realize that with the exception of congress and the president and vice president, NO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES , JUDGES, OR BUREAUCRATS ARE “ELECTED“???? Not a single cabinet member, secretary, department head, military General, Supreme Court Justice, or agency head (CDC, CIA, FDA, DOJ, HHS, DOE, FTC, FBI, NIH, WHO, OMB, etc.) has been “elected”!

I am so sick of the stupidity here!!!

It's a problem because he's a billionaire that doesn't represent your average hard working American. Every business venture that Musk has been supposedly successful at is tied with funding from the government and the deep state. Unelected bureaucrats has always been a big problem, but putting billionaires who benefit from government inefficiencies to lead the "department of government inefficiencies" is a big joke.

So, by your logic we should elect a few poor/middle class people without college degrees who have never benefitted in any way from government programs to conduct audits on government agencies. Good luck with that. Haven’t you noticed our bloated federal government is rife with fraud and corruption perpetrated by both elected and unelected millionaires? How do you think Schumer and Pelosi are worth hundreds of millions of dollars despite never having a real-world job? Don’t you want to know how …

No... that's absolutely illogical. Why does it have to be the two extremes instead of someone from middle class America? Someone who has a track record of standing up for liberty and speaking out against the deep state? Someone maybe like... Ron Paul? Rand Paul? Thomas Massie? I absolutely have noticed that our government is full of corrupt politicians, most of whom are being blackmailed to support a darker agenda to bring down America. Do you realize that? Do you realize that Elon Musk is anot…

Yes, exactly!

It’s illogical! By drawing your comment out to its logical conclusion I demonstrated the absurdity of it. The head of DOGE is never going to be an “elected”Average Joe. Why? Because no cabinet secretary or department head is an elected Average Joe. These positions are filled by credentialed individuals whom the president appoints because he believes they are a good fit for the job. In the case of DOGE it’s probably not necessary that the guy in charge be “relatable” to the average …

lol this is hilarious. If you continue to draw your train of thought to its logical conclusion, you should also see how absurd it is for the inefficient federal government to create another department to address government inefficiencies.

It's great that corruption and abuse is finally being exposed, but it is not being fully exposed. It is a controlled exposure. That is the problem. It's another propaganda disinformation campaign to control the discussion by controlling the overton window. Please educate yourself on the overton window if you do not know what this is.

Your definition of the "Deep State" is not the same as mine. The "deep state" has its tentacles everywhere. It's not just bureaucrats deeply embedded in our government. They are embedded everywhere, especially in lobbying firms and key positions in the corporatocracy, NGOs, etc. The scamdemic was only made possible because of the way the system currently is. Do you know the history of Elon Musk and how he has made his fortunes? His grandfather was a technocrat in Canada! Do you think that is some sort of coincidence?

As for MAHA, various individuals and organizations that were calling out the plandemic and the covid shots are now a part of MAHA. Now that MAHA has seemingly solidified itself as "movement", the leaders of MAHA are deathly silent about the plandemic and the death jabs. Why is that? Why have the conversations around the death jabs and the scamdemic become sidelined? Do you think it is a coincidence that there is absolutely little to no mention of the two most important topics of the last five years?

The conversations are being controlled. The overton window is being controlled. If you are not suspicious, then you are not paying attention.
