In Chapter 8, Maria Ressa writes, “Silence is complicity.” What do you think of this? Have you experienced such a moment in your life? Did you or those involved show courage or complicity? What did you take away from the experience?

"On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

Segregation was never just separate facilities
It was paying more & getting less in your neighborhood
It was getting the Phd, but still not getting hired
It was needing police for the police
It was building up a newspaper & having it burned (Wells)

"On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder book discussion. "Dunning-Kruger Effect" a type of cognitive bias where people with little expertise or abiilty assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they don't have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
