The Illusion of Choice: When Coercion Masquerades as Free Will

The ability to make choices is often hailed as a cornerstone of human freedom. We celebrate our autonomy, our power to shape our own destinies through the decisions we make. However, there exists a shadowy counterpart to this cherished ideal: coercion. Coercion, in its many subtle and overt forms, undermines genuine choice, creating an illusion of agency while manipulating individuals towards a predetermined outcome.

To a precious few..."

And as they do, I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to see and share one more beautiful sunset.

Beaver Moon still bright over the Salish Sea tonight. And apparently at this time of year, Orion is tired and napping at the bottom right of the second photo…🤔🤩

Some stuff to share with your networks for folks moving from X to #BlueSky. They’re purposely trying to put the CEO profile in front and burying the politics of the investor/owners. It’s the investors/owners that call the shots in a company. The CEO is the board’s employee. Folks need to remember that. 🤦‍♀️ Link from 2022: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/22/bannon-is-helping-a-vermont-crypto-bro-get-elected-to-the-senate-00027264

@Ampule2 @JGSchaeffer People will come to know #AI as Artificial Impoverishment when their crypto wallets and credit cards are stolen by a "free" AI tool.

I talked to a few first time voters recently. Here's the takeaway:
* they were 10 when T took office.
* they were angry young kids when Jan 6/BLM happened... riots look like fun
* profound ignorance about taxes. Can't separate business and personal taxes because of the work-from-home culture.
* internet voices are more informed than pre-programmed tv news... less likely to be "brainwashing" the viewer
* COVID education effectively squashed their ambitions
* The election was a mom vs dad choice

Joe Scarborough & Mika Brezinski visited Fart-a-Lago this weekend to kiss ring. Fucking access journalism. #politics

Oh come on. Does anyone believe this was an accident? He criticized the war in Ukraine. "Falling" out of a window is putin's response, it's not like it's the first time

Hey, remember that one guy... uh... #JDVance, right?
