Everyone is so desperate for something to believe in yet they do nothing for themselves. All have given up contended with endless consumption as living death sentence parasiting from life like a metaphysical welfare office. You consented to this. You are your own oppressor. Get off the drugs. Get off the alcohol. Get off the internet. And contend with yourself.
Way too much noise right now.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Stop providing the opportunity for your defeat. Do not succumb to the mania from the voices around you. It destroys your ability to think and reason, thus rendering you useless.
This is how wars are waged and won without shots being fired, or the enemy ever being known.
We are our biggest oppressors because we choose comfort, voyeuristic chaos, endless blaming, and forego any responsibility for our own lives and communities.
Only we can free ourselves. That happens when our focus changes and we get into action.

You’re helping me work in service of humanity. The less time I have to spend at a soul-sucking job that as of now, the more time I can spend putting messages out there that all of us want to see more of, yet for some reason, in the artistic and musical spaces, hardly (if anyone) is doing.
I’m willing to do this Work until someone kills me for it, so let’s go. 🚀
You give your vote and consent for humans to continue being writers, musicians, speakers and poets — as opposed to the alternative; having everything created from AI. The choice is yours. It always has been. ❤️
