The Social Dilemma ought to be required viewing for all Internet users.

Speaking of social engineering internet platforms, if this is true there’s going to be some interesting leaks coming soon with regard to Parler content:

For one to be lacking in something one most have it to begin with.
Not true. I can find no dictionary that states or even implies that to lack something, one must once have possessed it. It looks like you are somehow confusing "lack" with "lost" or "loss."
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Of course you are correct Gunnar, but I think what subs is trying to say is that he's not lacking intelligence because he never had it in the first place. That's the subtext I picked up, anyway.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

except that most dictionaries (online) affirm what we all already knew - that your posts are lacking intelligence.
When the word "deficient" is used to define lacking and is its synonym, we see that you are wrong.
When the word "inadequate" is used to define lacking and is its synonym, we see that you are wrong.
When the phrase "in short supply" is used to define lacking and is its synonym, we see that you are wrong.
and so on....

Either way, this is a huge problem on "free speech" platforms. "Free speech" in the extreme sense doesn't work for the same reason that anarchy doesn't work. The proof will always be that platforms geared toward "free expression" often attract "extreme expression" and some creative person will figure out how to trip the relay the platform claimed it didn't have.

Maybe tomorrow I'll look for this youtube video I watched on the history of 4chan. It doesn't get any more "free speech" than that. Yet, it has a long history of censoring content, deleting entire forums, and bearing constant accusations of totalitarianism from its members.
So, free speech doesn't work because some extremists might say extreme things? How is "extreme" defined anyway and who defines it? Isn't more speech the remedy? Didn't access to "anti" "extreme" information solve the Mormonism nonsense for most if not all of us?

This is where I get uncomfortable. Religion, Governments and more and more media companies love limits on speech because that way they can control the narrative. Also, the "extreme" label gets misused too much as a way or excuse to put limits on speech, speech that may result in orgs like the church or governments from being exposed for their wrongdoing or false narratives.

Myth is misused by the powerful to subjugate the masses all too often.

Lol. Now Newsmax, where Fox News types were heading because Fox News is 'too Left', is losing followers as fast as they gained them because they certified the election in Biden's favor:

Still wrong. Not ‘must have had in the first place’.

Apparently, even Newsmax finds Trump's EC vote count lacking.
