Speaking of "narratives" and perception management, Steve Jobs was ironically posthumously honored the other day with the Medal of Freedom. I'll let you determine why it's ironic. Steve Jobs, more than any other person, Bill Gates even, is responsible for a smart phone in every pot. He helped permanently embed the virtual world in a large percentage of the population. I have watched this quite literally destroy humanity entirely. It abducted my children for example and has permanently disabled them. There was nothing I could do to stop it and believe me I tried. They are not free. We are not free. But Steve Jobs is.

****Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom during a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, recognizing his accomplishments as the head of Apple and Pixar, as well as his leading role at the Walt Disney Company.

"What Steve left us is something special," President Joe Biden said during the ceremony. "Technology with the capacity to improve our lives in ways that haven't even yet been thought of." Biden also said that Jobs embodied the "core" of American character.****
