Hey Brendan Carr. What about the "local broadcasters obligation to serve the public interest" known as freedom of speech? If you're going to demand someone be removed because you "feel" they spread a false narrative, then you better have a look at your POTUS. He's made a decades long career of it.

Yes. By knowing our own unconscious inner narratives (shadow) we resist propaganda, avoid war & heal ourselves.

I think this is why its going to become so important that people know how to hear, understand and language their own internal narratives, like we're helping people do. Otherwise I am not sure what is going to steel them against the tidal wave of propaganda that is and will come at them.

We creatives should go take up residence in DJT's penthouses and then tell him its too inconvenient for us to move. It's just not practical. 🤪 I mean you hear these people complaining about entitlements all the time. And yet, they feel completely entitled to everything we create. Nuts #Copyright #AI
