I think disagreement is the engine of change. Good ideas win or lose on their merits.
It might be short-form memes or long-form articles and books. But you need to be able to win your arguments that way.
Force is the *last* resort, usually in defense from irrationality.

@LynAldenContact Yin & yang of an emerging idea. Wild advocates will have vociferous detractors which will only be balanced once idea is accepted by temperate middle. Also a great marker of a great asset: buy things both sides won't stop talking about.
A friend sent me this and I can’t stop thinking about it
We’ve moved fully into a dopamine culture
The levels of stimulation we’re exposed to on a daily basis are unprecedented in human history
We don’t know what the long term effects of this will be, but it’s well established that excessive dopamine correlates with a host of mental illness risks
As adults it’s something we can at least be aware of and mitigate if we’re willing
But where it gets really concerning is with our kids
This is the main reason I’m betting everything I have on https://t.co/wWqQkn7Hki and building an alternative to the insane media options our kids face
I want them to see that life is too beautiful to spend it hypnotized by cocomelon
What do you think about the below pic? Are you trapped by a vicious cycle of dopamine? Or how are you fighting back?
Ecocide
That's what working class people will be charged with doing
While they're trying to live
And the elites are trying to sacrifice them
To the always bloodthirsty 🩸
