    Another lonely comment sent into the past as I sift through old posts.

    Ben, I wonder how often I need to read your articles, outline them, and set tasks for myself, like homework, to identify fiat news naratives. It is a huge effort to drag things tickled by your articles out of my subconscious and into the light.  The point of narrative construction by the media, or by speakers liike Trump, Hitler, any good politician, is to repeat and insinuate until the the narrative sinks into the subconscious, from which it rules one’s thinking.  The narrative and my intelligence become bonded, or if you prefer, the narrative enslaves my intelligence.  I prefer the latter description.”
